Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid SNPA Pasta Maker Plates for Food Grinder Attachment for Stand Mixers
Customer Review: Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
Have been wanting to get the pasta roller attachment and ran accross this plastic pasta maker at the store. Was really excited since it was in my price range. Took it home and tried to use it. My KitchenAid mixer starting smoking and so I let it rest for the hour. Upon removing the attachment I found oil and black rubber or grease was all over the inside of the attachment. (on the coil thing that pushes the dough through) Next time I wanted to use my mixer to beat egg whites it had no power. I sure hope this inexpensive attachment didn't ruin my wonderful mixer. Highly disappointed with KitchenAid on this attachment.Customer Review: Thanks a million!

I teach pasta making classes on a regular basis and have always used a hand cranked pasta machine. Last week a friend brough over his KA rollers for me to try. We attached them to my KA mixer, and WOW! It was incredibly easy and made the absolute best textured pasta I've ever had - EVER!
I was so excited by the thought of being able to make extruded pastas with these plates I was going to jump on here and buy them right away --- that is until I read all these horrible reviews. THANK YOU EVERYONE!! I guess I'll stick with my fettucine, linguine and lasagna and buy the wonderful rollers instead!
Customer Review: Great little pasta maker
Summary: 5 Stars
Couldn't wait to use this item. I made the dough as directed. Make sure to let it rest. I did 30 mins in the refrigerator. Then I set up the disks and put in my walnut size pieces of dough. The spaghetti came out. It stuck together. I think next time I will load up my turkey baster with flour so I can give the emerging strands enough of a dusting so they won't stick together. The clumps may not have looked appetising but they tasted great! My husband remarked that they reminded him of his grandmother's homemade noodles(which he loved)! It won't take long for me to get the whole thing down pat!Customer Review: Not bad
Summary: 3 Stars
This product is an extrusion pasta maker, as opposed to the stainless steel pasta rollers. I have both, and would say that the rollers produce a better overall product, and are actually easier to use.
If you are only going to use the attachement occasionally, or just want to get your feet wet in homemade pasta, this is not a bad product to get, assuming that you already have the food grinder attachment. Also fun to use with little kids who like seeing the pasta get mashed out.
Should you decide you enjoy it, you can always get the pasta rollers later.
Customer Review: Atlas is better for me
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a 350 watt machine thats about 12 years old and it could not even pull the dough to knead it (of course it can't even pull a double batch of cookie dough). The machine stopped on me. I make homemade pasta often and ended up finishing the dough it by hand. Then tried to put the dough through the pasta maker and it stuck together. It couldn't handle the dough any stiffer because it would stop on me. Ended up getting my Atlas out and finished up the pasta as usual. My Mother has a 525 watt Pro series machine thats 2 years old and it pulled it with no problem.
