CucinaPro 178 Fresh Pasta Set Review

This pasta machine set works! I was hesistant to buy based on other reviews. I have made several batches of pasta & had never done so before. The instructions were adequate to get me started along with having viewed some youtube videos. I made a big pan of lasagna & fettucine alfredo the first night I had this. It is easy if you follow the directions & a lot of fun.

I also bought the motor for this item. Thus far I have only attached it, but have not used the machine with it. I will update this review afterward.

UPDATE:

I have now used this pasta set with the motor attached. All I can say is WOW! What an improvement! Spend the for the CucinaPro Electric Motor - 400-MO, you won't regret it. Make sure that you slide a cutting attachment in place when using the motor or it will make the pasta machine off balance & it will fall over. For me this is not a problem as the cutter attachment makes a handy self-feeder for the dough when the dough sheets get long. The motor also eliminates the annoying falling crank handle & frees both hands to handle the dough which is again convenient when the dough sheets get long. The motor does not attach to the ravioli attachment because that attachment is narrower than the machine, despite what the motor's instructions say, again not a problem for me.

The instructions say to run a batch of dough through the pasta machine & cutters to remove machine oil. I ran 2 complete batches through before I had "clean" dough with no evidence of machine oil.

I paid about 0 for the pasta set & motor. Compare this to the Atlas or Imperia: motor-0, pasta machine with 5 attachments-0; total-0! Note the Imperia is also made by CucinaPro.
