Although I have not used the attachment i am confident that the item will be loved by the receiver.  i had been looking for the regular pasta maker attachment but was surprised by the price of the item... It was sold out at many locations.  By chance my sister suggested Wayfair. Bingo...great website! reviews , available...Found another attachment with more pasta options.. at a lower price by the same Kitchen aid line.Great Customer service agent! Fast service and willing to help with purchase...Thank you Wayfair! Merry Christmas , Happy Holidays.
