Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of CucinaPro Electric Motor 400-MO
Customer Review: works great
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item to go with the CucinaPro 178 Fresh Pasta Set & I am glad I did. The pasta set is great on its own, but add this motor & you're really in business. It eliminates the constantly falling crank handle which you will see mentioned often in the reviews for a manual pasta set or maker. It also frees up your cranking hand so that you can use both hands to handle your dough which is necessary when the dough sheets get long.
The cord is sufficiently long & heavy. The motor has plenty of power to roll out dough. Even if you are not going to use a cutting attachment, put one on your pasta machine anyway. The motor attached to the pasta machine only makes the whole thing off balance & it will fall over. So slide on an attachment to balance it back out. The attachment also does a great job of serving as a guide for feeding your dough into the machine which again is handy when the dough sheets get long.
I gave this a 4-star rating because while the motor is great, the included instructions are absolutely horrible, probably the worst instructions I have ever seen, with the exception of an item my husband once bought where the item had over 400 parts & instructions in Chinese. There are no pictures showing how to orient the bracket for it to properly hold the motor. Since CucinaPro also makes the Imperia pasta machine, which is just a costlier version of the 178/177 models, I got on their website & downloaded the instructions for the Imperia which included a couple of pictures. After that I was in business:-D The original instructions also state that the pulse button is to be used when attaching the motor to the ravioli attachment. Forget it...the ravioli attachment is narrower than the pasta machine & there is no way to attach the motor to it. As I do not own the more expensive Imperia machine, I cannot tell you if it will attach to that ravioli maker or not. On the 178 pasta set that I have it does not.
In conclusion, I really like this little motor & feel that it was worth the investment. Another viewer felt that the price was high now. But, price that Atlas, Imperia & Roma brand machines with motors & with the attachments included. The 178 pasta set (machine & 5 attachments) with this motor will run you around $120. With the other brands the motor alone will run you that & the machine with 5 attachments will run you another $190...that amounts to $310 to get what I got for $120, which works great...so it really that expensive?
