I saw the Aldi pasta machine in the catalogue yesterday, did a bit of snoopying about and read that the Marcato Atlas 150 is the real star (albeit a different type, extrusion vs roller), did some searching and found that Kitchen Warehouse has the copper colour on special!

Myer has the silver model available
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/232396024498?var=531675667363
With their 20% off on eBay; $111.96 -$22.39 =$89.57 so only a tiny bit more, but might be preferred if people don't like this copper coloured one from Kitchen Warehouse.

Includes:
Hand crank w/ ABS handle
Dual 1.5mm tagliolini/6mm fettuccine cutter
Table clamp
Recipe booklet
Instruction booklet

    Are pasta makers worth it?
    We eat a fair bit of pasta and my wife pretty much makes our meals from scratch but we've never made our own pasta.
    Does it take long to make?

    • frewer on 14/07/2017 - 04:14

      Nope it doesnt take long at all, I've been doing it for 3yrs+ now. Once you get used to it, you can make 500g of pasta in 15-30mins.

      I suggest you bought a good one. My pasta machine start to show sign of rust, even though it was advertised as 'stainless steel'. Yes it is 'stainless steel' but not entitle thing, rust shows up in the crack where I use to cut up the pasta.

      EDIT: I read the product description, sound good. Plus you can always eat pasta daily for the next 5yrs, if rust show up just return the machine. My machine is much cheaper than this and from House & Home shop

      As others have said, definitely worth making your own fresh whole egg pasta. It couldn't be easier. 1 egg to 100g flour.
      The kneading itself takes me roughly 10 minutes, and the rolling takes 5-10.
      Once you've had fresh homemade pasta, you wont go back to dried barilla. (plus it cooks in half the time of dried)

      Pro-tip. Never let water near your pasta machine. Move the rollers back and forward a few times to clean out any bits of dough and wipe down with dry paper towel.

    • cheepo on 14/07/2017 - 12:35

      It depends on often you would eat pasta and if you are the sort of person who enjoys cooking from scratch? If you eat it on the odd occasion and don't like to spend time in the kitchen, then I would advise against it. You'll quickly realise that getting all the ingredients, kneading it, placing through the machine etc can become a chore. It all takes time.

      If you love fresh pasta, the other suggestion would be to perhaps look at an pasta maker machine but they are more expensive. All you do is just add the ingredients and it will do the majority of the work for you. You just need to be there to catch or cut the pasta at the end.

      I look at these pasta makers and think, whats the point.

      We bought a Philips pasta maker and wow, how good are these things. We have had the one listed here and used it here and there but the real inspiration and excitement comes from these modern pasta making machines from Philips. (not sure about other brands)

      Weight up your ingredients, (eggs, water, flour) and throw it in the machine and it does its business in 15mins. During this put your pot of salted water on the stove and make sure your sauce is ready.

      Here is a little vid to the latest model https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQHGD37xLrQ

      Totally worth the money. (there are different versions, check model numbers)

        Yep, they certainly make life easier and really cut down prep time. You wouldn't go back to using a traditional one once you become spoilt with these.

      • Twinkletoes Terry on 14/07/2017 - 13:39

        Should of pointed out, manual vs automatic.

      • cheepwun on 22/07/2017 - 09:07

        We bought a Philips pasta maker and wow, how good are these things.

        I'd love to see a dissection of their pasta machine to see how the guts are made. I wish I had a rosy perception of the long-term viability of Philips gear, but I don't.

    Manual? Romantic slavery.

  • DrC on 14/07/2017 - 06:12

    It takes very little time if you have a food processor to make the dough.

  • Bunnyburger on 14/07/2017 - 06:21

    Ooo I saw this deal at the same time I bought the Myer one so I thought it wasn't worth posting.

  • masuta on 14/07/2017 - 07:30

    We had a manual pasta roller that we rarely used, I then got the pasta attachments for our kenwood and now we make alot of pasta with it. If you have a mixer and can get the pasta attachments for it, that's what I would recommend. There is no way that I could go back to a manual pasta roller.

    Could you pass meat slices through this to get consistently thin fillets.

    Anyone else stuck on the suburb search while trying to check out? Think the website is crumbling under the Ozbargain pressure.

      8 upvotes and 100 clicks isn't going to crash Kitchen Warehouse

      • FSTB on 14/07/2017 - 08:45

        Well I've tried multiple browsers on different devices and tried to use my phone. Still get the spinning wheel of death when attempting to search and select a suburb… The form won't let you enter basic text. What do you think it is then?

        • King Steuart on 14/07/2017 - 08:48

          I just tested it for you and worked instantly. Not sure, maybe delete your cookies/cache for Kitchen Warehouse and try again?

  • Zaenille on 14/07/2017 - 12:13

    Thanks OP. Just kinda bummed out that the spaghetti attachment isn't included and is around $50 separate. But this itself is a good deal.

  • effgee on 14/07/2017 - 13:48

    This looks identical to the Aldi one. I can't see how it is "extrusion" rather than rollers - the rollers "extrude" the pasta.
    Way overpriced IMHO, think I paid $30 for mine.

    • cheepwun on 25/07/2017 - 21:56

      How many times have you used it? The ALDI manual pasta makers have been complete junk, in my experience.

      • effgee on 26/07/2017 - 13:31

        maybe 5 times. Just saying it looks identical to this one.

        What has failed on you Aldi pasta roller ?

        • cheepwun on 26/07/2017 - 15:33

          Yes, they break easily. No less than 2. Given up after that. Barely had a chance to build up a working relationship with the thing.

        • effgee on 26/07/2017 - 15:43

          @cheepwun:

          which part failed ?
          How idd it break ?

          Mine has shown no sign of wekaness, used with kids every time. The adjuster knob seems the most likely thing to go.

        • cheepwun on 26/07/2017 - 15:46

          @effgee:
          Mechanisms on both out-of-whack, making pasta-making impossible. It's been years since the last one, so I can't think of exactly what it was, aside from "can't make pasta properly now". Opened them up and was not impressed. They both broke in normal use.

        • effgee on 27/07/2017 - 09:03

          @cheepwun:

          that's a pity.

          My main complaint is difficulty to clean properly.
