Philips 7000 Series Pasta Maker, ProExtrude Technology 150W, 8 discs, Perfect Mixing Technology, Prepare up to 8 Portions, HomeID App, White, (HR2660/03)

I was hesitant to purchase because a friend had returned 2 of these ~10 years ago because the pasta never extruded. I read reviews that mentioned it taking a few tries to get the consistency right (as in, they scrapped a few batches and re-cleaned). Given the primary user of this is going to be my 13-year-old, I was very nervous. Not sure if the design has improved, but I found this thing to be incredibly forgiving. We eyeball everything, look for the pebbly consistency, and it has never failed to extrude. I once messed up and added liquid for double batch but only enough flour for one. Cancelled, added flour, and restarted… no issues (OK, the first couple Noodles came out of looking a little mangled, but still edible. And the rest was fine). We’ve been doing 1/2 all-purpose, 1/2 semolina and always using eggs. Makes great pasta. Cleaning wasn’t bad once I figured out the penne disc was 2 pieces (it really doesn’t look like it).

I've given this as a gift to many people, and they love it too. It may take a couple of batches to get the dough measurements right, but once you do, it's effortless. And you'll have fresh pasta in 10-15 minutes. Clean-up is a breeze, too. Just let the dough remnants dry, then brush them off. It can be a bit challenging to get the dried dough out of the extruder molds, but it can also be weirdly satisfying.

So far, I really like this pasta maker it has worked really well I’m also using Fresh Milled Flour to make my pasta: but I would be looking for fresh milled flour options.

I returned this because it was defective and I don't want a replacement. The mixing paddle is basically a screw with appendages. When the machine is mixing the dough, the paddle spins in one direction which keeps the dough in the mixing chamber. When the machine is extruding, the paddle rotates in the opposite direction which forces the dough through the shaping disc. I weighed all of the ingredients for two disastrous batches of pasta. For the first batch I used semolina flour and followed the recipe in the manual. After the mixing cycle, the machine stopped. I attempted to use the extrusion only button but it just returned the machine to the mixing cycle. After three minutes, it switched to the extrusion cycle. I wound up with a smooth (not crumbly) dough which I tried feeding through the shaping disc. Unfortunately, a thick crust had formed in the shaping disc and the dough would not extrude. I had to take the machine apart to clean it. Eventually, I was able to feed the dough into the paddle's screw manually. The dough was so damp that the spaghetti strands stuck together. I threw the batch out. For the second batch, I used ordinary white flour and followed the recipe in the instruction manual. Once again, the machine stopped and I could not get it to go directly to the extrusion cycle. Instead of winding up with a crumbly dough, I got a smooth dough. I tried feeding it into the screw manually and once again I had to take the machine apart because a crust had formed on the shaping disc. At this point, I threw the dough out and initiated a return of the machine.

The pasta it makes is amazing, the texture beats dried pastas and it’s pretty easy, but even when I weigh the dry and wet ingredients, I still feel that it’s necessary to pause the automatic process to let the dough rise for 15-30 minutes. If I don’t do this, it seems like the mixing blade can’t catch onto it and the first portion is too densely packed and doesn’t come out right. Very easy to clean though, most of the parts are dishwasher safe from what I can tell. Takes a bit of testing to get the pasta right, wouldn’t take the user manual as gospel but the machine works fine.

Im so glad I took the plunge and bought this wonderful machine! Fresh pasta is amazing! There is a little learning curve, but all in all pretty simple. A lot of good recipes and advice on FB groups. When I have the time, I use a manual pasta roller, which is also fun. But you can't beat the convenience/spur of the moment factor of the Philips 7000! Im a happy pastaholic!!

Excellent machine. I have tryed many pasta machines and this one hits the mark . Easy to use and delivers a great Pasta!!

If you are looking for a noodle machine, this is the one. The Philips 7000 Series Pasta Maker with ProExtrude delivers consistent results every time. The dough mixes evenly and extrudes smoothly. The noodles come out uniform in shape and texture. It is easy to operate and clean. I would purchase this again without hesitation.

Muy fácil, solo hay que seguir las instrucciones y no inventar. Ahora mismo es imprescindible en mi cocina.

This is a fantastic appliance. I made excellent spaghetti the very first time. It was very tender and the sauce clung to it. I also watched a couple of YT videos for added info. I would recommend this device to everyone who loves pasta. Insert the pasta shape selection and Yes, it's true, you pour in the flour, put on the lid, turn on the machine and slowly add the water or water and egg mixture. The machine mixes the dough and extrudes it. Cook your pasta, drain it and add what you like to it. It is delicious. Making time from measure to finish extrusion about 10 minutes and cooking is 5 minutes. Manga!!

J'adore la machine. Elle va super bien. Je le recommande.

Fácil y sencillo de usar . Se logra a hacer una rica pasta en cuestión de minutos . Es sencillo ensamblar y desmontar para lavar las piezas. Me encantó. Vale cada centavo.
