 Works flawlessly.... March 16, 2008

I purchased this item because the original roller attachment from the three-piece set I received over three years ago finally broke. Please bear in mind that I make more pasta than 99% of those who will buy this machine - usually FOUR dozens eggs worth per session (every month or so) - I did not hesitate to buy another.
It works perfectly! It also seems that they have made some changes since the last model. The copper scraper-plates where the dough is extracted have been changed to plastic (this actually is a GOOD thing, as little bits of copper will not get into your noodles if they break off). Also I have heard that they changed the gears from plastic to metal (another plus for durability if it is true).
My last model was on its way out for a LONG time (you could hear it), and when I used this one I had realized how quiet it used to be when working!
Pasta sheet roller works great! December 26, 2007

I am very pleased with the KitchenAid pasta sheet roller. I have made semolina pasta using this attachment, which is very firm and challenging to roll by hand, and the KitchenAid pasta sheet roller makes it very easy and fun. The pasta comes out great. I highly recommend this product. (By the way, it is recommended that you get a higher-watt KitchenAid mixer if you are going to make semolina pasta as the basic KitchenAid mixer only has a 250 watt motor).
 Almost great January 3, 2007

The pasta attachment is very sturdy and well made with one exception. There is a small hole machined into the shaft of the pasta attachment so that it can be securely attached to the mixer. Unfortunately, the hole was machined inproperly and does not line up with the attaching screw on my 6 quart mixer. That means the pasta machine attachment routinely falls off during use making it a pain to use. I have an old 4.5 quart mixer that fits the attachment well, but doesn't seem to provide enough power to keep up with the dough.
 works well, hard too clean, need other attachments to work September 23, 2008

This is a good roller, much better than using an Atlas hand pasta machine (which I've done for years). But little pieces of pasta dry up inside and is time consuming to get them out. Last one I had I was cleaning it with a rag and the rag got jammed in (it was turning as I was cleaning the rollers). A brass piece broke inside, so now I am on my second one.
The fact tht you don't have to use one hand to crank while feeding the pasta makes for a better deal. Also, pay attention to the VERY confusing ordering system - you need this pasta roller , AND you need cutters if you want to make anything but sheets, and the various kits all have these weird codes. The picture of this one looks like it makes fettucine, in fact it only makes lasagna so you need to get additional cutters (and a pasta rack) to really use it. I like their egg pasta recipe, BTW.
Much faster than a crank June 15, 2009

I purchased this attachment and it work like a breeze. The only thing I have an issue with is the cleaning. The little brush they give you is not going to work for cleaning it. I made 2 batches of ravioli yesterday and spent about an hour with a hat pin picking out pieces of pasta dough. I curious as to whether th pieces could be softened with oil and then brushed out.. or maybe it should be brushed every couple of sheets made. I had the same issue with the hand crank machine I have.
