This is my one KitchenAid item that I'm not so sure about. I have tried to use this a few times, and really have not been very successful. Theses failures could definitely be all of my fault, as the pasta dough recipe could be off...alas I have had problem with this jamming and even overheating my mixer (I almost had a meltdown myself). Its been hard for me to find the right consistency to get the dough to come out like it's supposed to. Also, it's fairly labor intensive to clean, I have to soak the part in soapy water to get the dough out of the presses (which can't be good for the parts). All in all, when it worked it was great but I'm slightly afraid to use it because of the overheating. I will definitely try it again, if I can find a better dough recipe.
