Who each type suits

Low-effort batch cooks

If you want several portions without rolling and cutting sheets yourself, look at an automatic extruder with a tagliatelle disc in the exact package. Philips UK lists that disc and up to eight portions in one go for the HR2665/93.

Ribbon-pasta control seekers

If choosing sheet thickness and using a tagliatelle cutter matter more than automatic mixing, consider an electric roller-and-cutter machine. Nisbets lists six thickness settings and built-in tagliatelle and fettuccine cutters for the Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700.

Existing stand-mixer owners

If you already own a Kenwood mixer, powered roller and cutter attachments may suit you without adding a separate pasta machine. Check your precise mixer model and outlet against Kenwood’s compatibility guide; some combinations require an adaptor.

What matters when choosing

For batch-cooked tagliatelle, decide how much dough handling you want to do, then check the pasta format and whether the equipment fits your kitchen routine.

Concern What to check Who this matters to
Batch size and automation Check the stated portions per batch and whether the machine mixes and weighs ingredients as well as forming pasta. If I am preparing several meals at once, I want to avoid rolling and cutting each sheet by hand; around 42% of consumers put reduced hands-on work first.
Ribbon format and thickness Check the supplied disc or cutter’s named format and, for rollers, the available thickness settings. When ribbon width and sheet thickness affect my recipe, I want a cutter intended for the pasta I plan to make. Roughly 33% of consumers put format control first.
Setup and cleaning Match any attachment and required adaptor to your mixer; read the exact machine’s cleaning instructions. If I already own a mixer or will clean the machine after repeated sessions, I need equipment that fits and a routine I can maintain; about 25% of consumers put setup and upkeep first.

Buying pitfalls

  • Assuming every electric machine makes tagliatelle

    Electric drive does not determine the pasta shape. Philips lists a tagliatelle disc for the HR2665/93 and Nisbets lists built-in tagliatelle cutters for the Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700, while Marcato names the included Atlasmotor+ cutting formats as tagliolini and spaghetti.

    Check the exact disc or cutter supplied. If ribbon width is important to your recipe, check the manufacturer’s format specification rather than relying on a product photo.

  • Ordering an attachment without checking the mixer

    Kenwood’s compatibility guide distinguishes mixer models and shows that some attachment combinations require an adaptor.

    Match the attachment code and connection type to your precise mixer model before ordering.

  • Using the same cleaning method for every machine

    Philips describes dishwasher-safe parts for the HR2665/93, but Marcato says its products must not be washed under running water or in a dishwasher.

    Read the instructions for the exact model and plan how you will clean it after a batch session.

Brands to consider

Philips

Philips UK describes the HR2665/93 as an automatic pasta maker that mixes and forms pasta, with a stated capacity of up to eight portions in one go.

  • Philips lists a tagliatelle shaping disc in the HR2665/93 package, alongside an integrated scale and dishwasher-safe parts.
  • Check the exact model and package contents; those listed discs and features do not establish what comes with every Philips pasta maker.

Imperia

Nisbets lists the electric Pasta Presto Model 700 as a roller-and-cutter machine for sheet pasta and ribbon cuts.

  • The retailer lists six thickness settings, 15 cm rollers and built-in tagliatelle and fettuccine cutters for this model.
  • Powered rolling and cutting do not replace preparing the dough; check the supplied plug and warranty terms for the model offered.

Marcato

Marcato presents Atlasmotor+ as a pasta-sheet roller system with a Pastadrive motor and a 10-position thickness adjustment.

  • Marcato says the motorised machine can operate on a flat surface without a clamp.
  • Marcato names the included cutting formats as tagliolini and spaghetti, not tagliatelle. It also says the machine must not be washed under running water or in a dishwasher.

Kenwood

Kenwood offers powered pasta roller and cutter attachments for compatible stand mixers rather than a stand-alone pasta maker.

  • Kenwood lists separate roller and cutter options, including fettuccine, tagliolini and trenette attachments.
  • Fit depends on the mixer model and connection; check Kenwood’s compatibility guide for any required adaptor. Do not assume a cutter labelled fettuccine produces your preferred tagliatelle width.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Philips HR2665/93 include a tagliatelle disc?

Yes. Philips UK lists tagliatelle among the shaping discs supplied with the HR2665/93. Check the model number and package contents when ordering, as this does not apply automatically to other Philips pasta makers or packages.

Will a Kenwood pasta attachment fit any Kenwood mixer?

No. Kenwood provides a model-by-model compatibility guide, and some combinations require an adaptor. Identify your mixer model and connection type before choosing an attachment.

Can I rinse an Atlasmotor+ after making a large batch?

No: Marcato says its products must not be washed under running water or in a dishwasher. Its cleaning guidance calls for a cloth and brush on outer surfaces; follow the instructions for removable parts and dry them completely before refitting.

Does an electrical pasta maker need a UKCA mark in Great Britain?

Not necessarily. GOV.UK guidance dated 31 March 2026 says Great Britain continues to recognise CE marking alongside or instead of UKCA marking where the relevant product regulations allow it. A mark alone is not a complete buying check: review the appliance’s conformity information and its stated plug, voltage and instructions for your intended use. Northern Ireland follows different processes.
