[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you won't use it often, get the hand crank.

A cheap hand crank one works exactly as well as the KitchenAid attachment. The admittedly major benefit of the Kitchenid attachment is this: until you get very good at making pasta with a crank machine, you sort of need three hands to do it: one to feed the dough, one to turn the crank, and one to accept the dough as it comes out the other side of the machine. (You can do it wth two hands but it takes some practice; early on, a third hand is nice). The KitchenAid completely eliminates the need for the third hand because it cranks for you. If that's worth paying five times as much, go for it.

P.S. [b]If KitchenAid still sells the extruding pasta maker that comes with the food grinder attachment, do not even consider that. It is a piece of crap[/b].[/quote]

NP here - I completely agree.  I have the extruder and it is a PITA and doesn't even really work.  Really wish I had ponied up for the roller attachment.[/quote]
