Fraser Country Pasta & Noodle Maker reviews

Easy to use, does exactly what it says, the part the pasta comes out of can be a little frustrating to clean bit everything else disassembles easily and cleans well. Highly recommended if you want fresh pasta woth low hassle.

My first review was negative because I couldn't get this to work. I was about to ditch it, but a friend and I discovered the secret – “dough” is not actually a dough. The given ratios do work, because it creates a light ‘feathery’ crumb-type mix, which gets flicked up by the blades and it falls into the axle where it is compressed and magically extrudes real pasta. It works with gluten-free flour too. Just needs about 5–8mls extra water, and dribble the liquid slowly into the rear 2 slots. I've successfully made GF spaghetti and fettuccine. Fresh pasta is tasty. I love it. I still have the odd failure, but that's due to too much liquid added when I used different flours. I can recommend this Pasta Maker now that I know how to use it correctly.

The first time I used the machine, I used a little too much liquid so the dough clumped together and didn't flick into the chamber so could not be extruded out, that was a fail. My second attempt was much better I was careful not to exceed the liquid amount stated in the recipe so the mixture was much drier and able to flick into the chamber and the noodles came out perfectly. Didnt realise fresh noodles could taste so good! This is a fantastic machine and once you get the flour/water ratio right, it works a treat! I would highly recommend it.

This is a great machine. Bigger than I expected, easy to use just bung in flour and water and boom. Read the very thin manual cover to cover and you’ll be sweet.

Am super happy with this machine! The first time I used it, I used a little too much liquid so the dough clumped together and didn't flick into the chamber so could not be extruded out, that was a fail. My second attempt was much better I was careful not to exceed the liquid amount stated in the recipe so the mixture was much drier and able to flick into the chamber and the noodles came out perfectly. Didnt realise fresh noodles could taste so good!
This machine was fantastic value for money and once you get the right flour/water ratio right, it worked a great, I would highly recommend it.

First attempt dough was to wet put in 10ml to much water correctly flowed the instructions and boom fresh Pasta shapes

This is not a good pasta machine. The ratios make no sense and don't work with the machine once followed. The noodles do not extract well and the dough just moves around the hooks and does not come forward. Tried making my own pasta to use with the manual mode, same issue happened. Such a waste of money and so incredibly disappointed.

Super easy to use and very fast – just made my third batch and put water on to boil before starting and still had to wait on the water to reach temp when I finished.

The manual could be a little better, I didn’t realise the lid needed to be on for the power to work.

Sadly couldn't get any noodles to come out successfully. Probably more us than the machine.

The ratios given do not work for gluten free flours. I had hoped that there would be recipes to make pasta included in the manual, but there aren't any. I have to spend ages cleaning up and manually feeding dough into the mixing axle. Wish there was a blog for this product so we can share recipes, hacks, and other useful info. It's probably quicker to make pasta the old fashioned way – by hand.

Was nice to make fresh pasta. Just takes abit to clean all the bits but worth it for fresh pasta.

I wish there was a video of the machine working and the consistency of the pasta used The recipe for the dough in the TINY booklet doesn’t seem to work for me! Will keep trying but it’s frustrating

Tried to use it first time and whole thing jammed up. Then somehow pasta has clogged it and I can even open it to clean it. Please don't buy this. I'd give it zero stars if I could.
