Philips Avance Collection Automatic Pasta and Noodle Maker Plus with 4 Interchangeable Pasta Shaping Discs, Silver - HR2375/06

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this machine and i am very proficient at it now, but the learning curve was unnecessarily too high, i would bet that many users try it a few times and give up and never use it. It is hyper critical that you get the ratio of liquid to flour perfect for it to work trouble free. Your instructions are not good at all. This could be illustrated easily in a quick start card or QR code link, with a video. Stick to one unit of measure. . . . cup, ml, whatever. Your instructions are ambiguous and as someone who made pasta by hand i didn't realize how dry the mixture had to be until i watched some third party videos. You should have your own video that gets you started making a pound of egg pasta perfectly. All that said, I bought a second one for my summer home and i use it at least once a week and love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right out of the box this pasta maker was so easy to use. I've made pasta by hand and using another mixer type machine with pasta tools, but this is far and above much easier and quicker to use. The 10 disks that are included give you so many options on types of pastas and the mixing chamber allows for making various flavors with ease. The built-in scale and liquid identifier really simplifies the process. I am glad that I got the model that had this feature. I like to use eggs and flavor infused olive oils in my mix. It took a little adjusting but I was able to incorporate these into a good mix. Clean up is very easy. The disks are made with a non-stick material that makes cleaning a cinch. You can easily make a batch in 30 minutes start to finish, including clean up. The instructions do not indicate if you should sift your flour before using. I have done it both ways and I suggest sifting for a more consistent mix. Again for some mixes you may have to adjust the liquid a bit but its just a matter of a few ml in my experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There was a little bit of a learning curve with this machine. The recipe book that came with machine and the owner's manual gave different amounts of flour to use. The first time I made pasta it was too dry the second time it was too wet. But now I know how much flour to use and it comes out great each time. I've made lasagna and manicotti and spaghetti and fettuccine and penne. I really love that I don't have to cook the lasagna or the manicotti before baking it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that they are honest with the instructions...if you do not measure the water correctly, you will have to toss that dough and start over. The video on line was 100 percent useful in letting me know that my dough was not going to extrude.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have made and given egg noodles as presents to family and friends for years. My age related energy and hand dexterity was making it impossible to do. The pasta maker makes it possible again. Making other pasta is fun and I'm enjoying a lot of variety

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips Pasta Maker is easy to use, pasta come out perfect every time. I purchased extra attachments and have used most of them, all are easy to clean like the machine. It is fun to use this machine and your home made pasta is greater tasting then store purchased pasta.

The instructions are not very easy to read or understand (imho). Once you have the recipe down, this machine is amazing! We love our pasta maker so much and cant wait to make our next pasta dish!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Versatile in pasta options. Easy clean. Easy to use once you figure it out. Only downside is the instructions are not helpful, so trial and error the first few times, then perfection!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's so easy to operate and produces delicious, well-formed pasta of different shapes. We love using it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had great expectations for this appliance, but after using it 5 times I am so disappointed. The dough tends to clog up around the extruder, it does not feed the dough to the extruder well, and as a result requires frequent cleaning. I would have been better off purchasing a hand cranked pasta roller. I was looking for a tool to save me some time making pasta and now have an appliance that takes more time than it took to make by hand! It also did not come with a small cookbook.
