Choose a fully automatic extruder if reducing hands-on work and cleaning removable parts matter most; the Philips HR2665/93 offers that workflow, provided you follow its flour-to-liquid instructions. Choose a motorised roller if you want to set the thickness of egg-noodle sheets before cutting them, but expect to prepare and handle the dough yourself and check the machine’s cleaning instructions.
If you want to clear the counter promptly after making egg noodles, an automatic extruder with removable dishwasher-safe parts may suit your routine. Check its footprint and where you will store it before choosing a model.
If choosing sheet thickness and cutting rolled dough are central to your noodles, a motorised roller fits that workflow. You still need to prepare and handle the dough, and follow the machine’s cleaning instructions.
If you are considering an imported or marketplace appliance, check the plug, instructions and product information for the exact version offered. A 230 V rating alone does not establish what plug or documentation a seller will supply.
Decide whether you want the machine to make noodles by extrusion or to help you roll and cut dough sheets; then consider how each workflow fits your shared counter and clean-up routine.
Choose it when: You want the machine to mix and extrude a batch rather than roll sheets by hand.
Keep in mind: For the Philips HR2665/93, automatic operation still depends on following its flour-to-liquid and liquid-addition instructions.
Choose it when: You want to select sheet thickness before cutting egg noodles.
Keep in mind: The motor assists rolling, but you still prepare and handle the dough; Marcato also requires cleaning without running water or a dishwasher.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning in a shared kitchen | Check which food-contact parts detach and whether the exact model permits dishwasher cleaning or requires brushing and wiping. | When I share a counter, I need to clear away dough residue promptly without leaving a difficult clean-up for the next cook. Around 42% of consumers put manageable clean-up first. |
| Hands-on work and batch size | Confirm whether the machine mixes and extrudes or only powers the rollers; check its stated capacity and recipe method. | If I make several portions at once, I want to know how much mixing and shaping the machine will do for me. Around 33% of consumers prioritise reducing that hands-on work. |
| Sheet thickness and cut | Check the thickness settings, included cutters and whether any desired cutter is an optional accessory. | For noodles made from rolled dough, I want to choose the sheet thickness and cutting format myself. Around 25% of consumers place that control first. |
An automatic extruder mixes and extrudes, while a motorised roller chiefly takes over the rolling motion. The latter still leaves you with dough preparation and sheet handling.
Decide whether you want extruded noodles or rolled and cut sheets before comparing models.
Marcato says its pasta machines must not be washed under running water or in a dishwasher, which changes how you will clean up in a shared kitchen.
Before choosing a Marcato roller, make sure you can follow its brushing and wiping instructions and store the machine appropriately afterwards.
A stated 230 V rating does not tell you which plug, instructions or product documentation comes with the exact appliance offered for sale.
Check those details with the seller for the specific version you intend to buy, particularly when considering an imported listing.
Philips says an incorrect flour-to-water ratio can cause pasta to break, while adding liquid incorrectly can lead to leakage.
Start with the instructions for your exact Philips model, including when and how to add liquid, before changing an egg-noodle recipe.
The Philips HR2665/93 represents the fully automatic extruder route for mixing and shaping pasta.
The Marcato Atlasmotor+ represents the motorised-roller route for making sheets and cut pasta.
The Imperia PastaPresto IM-700 is another electric sheet-and-cut format to consider.
Check the supplied plug, voltage, instructions and product information for the exact version and seller. GOV.UK guidance on the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 explains requirements for electrical equipment placed on the Great Britain market; a generic voltage claim does not establish the details of a particular listing.
Do not put a Marcato pasta machine in the dishwasher: Marcato also says not to wash its machines under running water. Follow the cleaning instructions for your particular roller, including its guidance on brushing, wiping and removable parts.
Follow the flour-to-liquid guidance and liquid-addition method for your exact Philips model. Philips says an incorrect ratio can cause pasta to break and instructs users to add liquid slowly through the lid while the machine is kneading.
