Choose a motorised roller if you want to feed dough through adjustable settings to make continuous lasagne sheets. Choose an automatic extruder if integrated weighing and mixing matter more, but check that its lasagne disc produces the sheet format you want. In a small kitchen, measure both the appliance and the space needed to work around it.
If cupboard and worktop space are tight, compare the machine’s body dimensions with the space needed to feed and catch dough. AgriEuro lists the Marcato Atlasmotor+ at 33.8 × 21 × 16.3 cm; Nisbets lists the Imperia Pasta Presto HC547 at 280 × 270 × 230 mm. Neither body measurement describes the full working space.
If you want both hands available to guide dough while selecting its thickness, consider a motorised roller. Marcato states that the Atlasmotor+ has an included motor and a 10-position thickness control; Nisbets lists six settings and 15 cm lasagne-sheet rollers for the Imperia Pasta Presto HC547.
If preparing dough and washing up matter more to you than adjustable rolling, consider an automatic maker. Philips describes the HR2665/93 as fully automated, with integrated weighing, lasagne shaping and dishwasher-safe parts. Check its sheet format and dimensions against your recipe and available space.
Choose it when: You want to guide a continuous dough sheet through adjustable thickness settings.
Trade-off: The motor removes hand-cranking, but you still prepare and feed the dough.
Choose it when: Integrated weighing and mixing are more important to you than roller-style thickness adjustment.
Trade-off: A shaping disc produces a different sheet-making workflow from repeatedly rolling dough thinner.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Storage and working space | Measure the stored appliance and allow clear worktop space to feed and catch dough. | I need the machine to fit away when I finish, without running out of room while making sheets. Around 36% of consumers put usable space first. |
| Lasagne-sheet control | Check the exact model’s sheet width and adjustable roller settings, or the supplied lasagne disc and its thickness. | If I want to vary sheet thickness for my recipe, I need to know whether I can roll the dough repeatedly rather than use a shaping disc. Around 36% of consumers prioritise that sheet control. |
| Preparation and cleaning | Check whether the machine weighs and mixes ingredients, needs manual dough feeding, and has dishwasher-safe parts. | I would rather spend less effort preparing dough and cleaning components, even if that means giving up roller-style adjustment. For around 28% of consumers, automation and cleanup come first. |
Philips’ HR2665/93 makes lasagne shapes using a disc, while Marcato and Imperia describe adjustable roller settings on the models discussed here. Those methods offer different ways to control the dough.
If repeated passes at different thickness settings matter to your recipe, choose a documented roller design. For an extruder, check the exact disc and the resulting sheet format.
A roller can fit its storage space yet leave too little clear worktop to feed dough or support an emerging sheet.
Compare the published dimensions with your cupboard and worktop, then leave additional room for dough handling and access to the controls.
The motor on a roller assists with rolling; it does not make its workflow the same as the automated weighing, mixing and extrusion Philips describes for the HR2665/93.
Decide whether you are happy to prepare and feed dough yourself before choosing a roller for its thickness control.
Plug and voltage details can differ between versions of an electric appliance. GOV.UK states that electrical equipment placed on the Great Britain market must meet applicable safety requirements.
Before ordering, check the exact version’s voltage, plug, conformity information and seller-supported warranty.
The Atlasmotor+ is a motorised roller option for cooks who want to adjust the thickness of lasagne sheets.
The Pasta Presto HC547 is an electric roller with documented lasagne-sheet specifications in a Nisbets listing.
The Pasta Maker 7000 Series HR2665/93 takes an automatic mixing and shaping-disc route rather than an adjustable-roller route.
No. A motorised roller feeds dough through adjustable settings, whereas the Philips 7000 Series uses shaping discs, including a lasagne option. Check whether you need adjustable thickness or whether the disc’s sheet format suits your recipe.
Measure both the appliance’s storage space and the clear worktop needed to use it. AgriEuro lists the Marcato Atlasmotor+ body at 33.8 × 21 × 16.3 cm, and Nisbets lists the Imperia Pasta Presto HC547 at 280 × 270 × 230 mm; allow additional space to feed and catch dough.
Yes, check the voltage, plug and conformity information for the exact version offered. GOV.UK states that electrical equipment placed on the Great Britain market must meet applicable safety requirements; also check what warranty and support the seller offers for that version.
That depends on the model and component. Philips states that the HR2665/93 has dishwasher-safe parts, but you should follow the exact appliance manual rather than assume its guidance applies to a roller machine or every removable part.
