Choose a fully automatic extruder if making enough fettuccine for a family with little hands-on rolling is your priority; Philips says its HR2665/93 makes up to eight portions in one batch and includes a fettuccine disc. Choose an electric roller-and-cutter if you want to set the sheet thickness before cutting, or a mixer attachment if you already own a compatible machine and can accommodate the separate dough-preparation steps.
If you want to prepare several portions without rolling and cutting each sheet yourself, a fully automatic extruder is worth considering. Philips says its 7000 Series HR2665/93 can make up to eight portions in one batch after the ingredients are added.
If choosing the sheet thickness matters more to you than automating dough preparation, consider an electric roller-and-cutter. Nisbets lists six thickness settings and built-in fettuccine cutters for the Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700.
If you already own a compatible mixer, an attachment may let you use it for fettuccine instead of adding a standalone machine. Kenwood says its KAX981ME cutter requires a lasagne roller first; check your mixer model and outlet before choosing an attachment.
Choose it when: You want the machine to mix and shape pasta after you add the ingredients; Philips lists a fettuccine disc for HR2665/93.
Trade-off: Shaping discs determine the pasta shape, rather than a sheet rolled to your chosen thickness.
Choose it when: You want to set sheet thickness before cutting fettuccine; Nisbets lists six settings for the Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700.
Trade-off: Motorised rolling and cutting do not replace making and portioning the dough.
Choose it when: You already have a compatible mixer and want to extend its use for sheet pasta and fettuccine.
Trade-off: Kenwood says its KAX981ME cutter needs a separate lasagne roller, while mixer and outlet compatibility must also be checked.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Family-batch convenience | Check stated batch capacity and whether the exact model includes a fettuccine disc. | When sauce and the rest of a family meal need attention, I want enough pasta without repeatedly rolling and cutting dough. Around 31% of consumers put this low-hands-on, family-batch need first. |
| Fettuccine sheet control | Confirm the supplied fettuccine cutter, roller width and thickness settings. | If the thickness of each sheet matters to me, I would rather prepare the dough and control the rolling before cutting ribbons. Roughly 31% of consumers make that control their primary concern. |
| Using an existing mixer | Match the attachment to your mixer model and outlet; check whether a roller or adapter is needed. | With a stand mixer already in my kitchen, I want to know whether an attachment will complete the fettuccine setup. For around 23% of consumers, making use of an existing mixer comes first. |
| Cleaning and storage | Check which parts detach or are dishwasher-safe, alongside the appliance dimensions. | After a shared meal, I want a machine whose parts I can clean and put away without an awkward routine. Keeping clean-up and storage manageable is the leading concern for roughly 15% of consumers. |
Philips lists a fettuccine disc for HR2665/93, but Kenwood describes KAX981ME as a cutter that needs a separate roller to prepare sheets. An electric motor alone does not tell you which pasta tools are in the box.
Check the included-accessories list for the exact model, including the disc or cutter and any roller needed to use it.
Kenwood attachment compatibility depends on the mixer and its outlet. Kenwood says some older slot-fitting machines need the KAT001ME adapter.
Identify your mixer model and outlet, then confirm whether your chosen attachment needs an adapter or a separate lasagne roller.
An electric roller-and-cutter powers those stages, but you still prepare and feed the dough. A fully automatic extruder such as Philips HR2665/93 mixes and shapes after you add ingredients.
Decide whether reducing dough-handling steps or controlling sheet thickness is more important for your meal.
The Nisbets listing for Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700 specifies 220 V and says a plug is fitted. Those listing details are worth checking against the unit and documentation offered for your delivery location.
Before ordering, check the supplied plug, voltage information, product marking, manual and seller support terms for the exact unit.

A fully automatic extruder involves less manual rolling and cutting when you want to add ingredients and make a larger batch. Philips says HR2665/93 makes up to eight portions in one go and includes a fettuccine disc; choose a roller-and-cutter instead if setting sheet thickness matters more to you.
Not if the exact model includes one: Nisbets lists a built-in fettuccine cutter for Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700. Check the accessories supplied with any other model rather than assuming the cutter is included.
No; Kenwood says KAX981ME needs a separate lasagne roller to make the sheets before cutting fettuccine. Its MAX980ME set includes a roller and fettuccine cutter, subject to compatibility with your mixer.
Follow the cleaning instructions for the exact model and part. Philips describes dishwasher-safe parts for HR2665/93, but that does not mean every roller, cutter or motorised component can go in a dishwasher.
