I just used this for the first time today and am just waiting to cook the noodles for dinner. While I have the KPEX set, this fettuccine cutter is one of the cutters in the set and it worked perfectly! I had never made pasta with my KitchenAid and this was the very first stab at it. I just got my new toys 2 days ago. It took me MAYBE an hour to mix the dough (semolina) roll and cut. It may have been even less time because I wasn't timing myself, but there's no doubt it will be faster on the next go around because I was reading the wrong recipe from the book, ARGGGGGGGH! and had to spend more time fixing my error....but once the dough was the correct recipe, everything was a BREEZE. Easy, easy, easy. I can't wait to taste it. Homemade Fettuccine Alfredo for dinner! Mmmmmmmm. The rolling of the dough is FUN. The cutting of the dough was FAST. The one thing I think I did wrong was I had floured and folded my sheets and let them sit while I rolled the entire batch of dough and 2 of the sheets stuck together and it was difficult getting them apart....but I DID. Just make sure to use plenty of flour on your sheets or roll, cut, roll, cut....which I think would be a pain because you would have to change attachments every 5 seconds. The next time I do this I will probably cut my sheets to the length I need (instead of folding), flour and stack the cut sheets until I cut them. OR, if you have the room, just lay all the rolled sheets out flat and do not fold them or stack them. I LOVE these attachments! I've had my KA mixer for 15 years and these have got to be my favorite attachments. If you're thinking about this set, don't hesitate. I highly recommend them! I bought my KPEX set (which is the roller, ALL the pasta cutters AND the ravioli maker) from an online kitchen supply place for $45.00 less than KA or any other place is selling it for. Amazon doesn't sell that set. Google "Katom" and you'll find the complete set, if you're interested. :) Happy pasta making! KitchenAid Pasta rller-love homemade pasta? Fast, easy to use. Easy to keep clean. Sturdy and well built. Great addition to your gadget collection and the price for the two most useful (roller and fetuccini ctter) was terrific. Great experience Ordered Nov 24 and received it Dec 1st by FedEx. The price at around $83 inc delivery was fantastic, versus over $100 elsewhere. Also, there is a manufacturer's cashback of 20% valid to Dec 31 2009 (I hope it works), download the rebate form from: [...] In my case, it was a decision between the Kitchenaid KRPA unit (consisting of pasta roller, fettuccine cutter, and linguine fine cutter) at $[...] (from Amazon) and this model, KFETPRA. We mainly eat lasagne and fettucini so I decided to do without the linguine cutter. The instruction manual offers six pasta recipes: cooking pasta, basic egg pasta, semolina egg pasta, light wheat pasta, whole wheat pasta and spinach pasta. So I might defer buying another pasta cooking book. We had fresh pasta at a New York restaraunt and couldn't believe how amazing the meal tasted. It was so good that it became the compelling reason for wanting this unit. It will be a gift for my wife. It's a new unit, includes a cleaning brush and manual. And as per the manual, never wash or immerse attachments in water or a dishwasher! Clean off dried dough with the supplied brush. Next, off to buy a drying rack and enjoy a fresh pasta meal after Christmas.
