Who these machines suit

Ravioli-first home cooks

If you fill, seal and cut ravioli yourself, a machine that makes flat sheets—and gives you the thickness control you want—matters more than one that simply produces pasta shapes.

Hands-free small-kitchen cooks

If hand-cranking is awkward or preparation space is tight, consider how you will feed and catch the dough, where the machine will sit while running and where it will go afterwards.

Low-clean-up convenience cooks

If you make fresh pasta occasionally, automated mixing and easier-to-clean parts may appeal—provided the machine’s lasagne-sheet attachment produces sheets that work for your ravioli method.

What matters when choosing

Decide how you want to make the sheets before comparing worktop fit, accessories and cleaning. A motorised roller and a machine that forms sheets through a disc call for different ravioli workflows.

Concern What to check Who this matters to
Sheet control Check whether the model uses adjustable rollers or a lasagne-sheet disc, and confirm its stated thickness options and sheet width. If I plan to fill and seal ravioli by hand, I want sheets I can make at a suitable thickness; around 42% of consumers put sheet control first.
Worktop and storage fit Measure the machine’s storage space and allow room to feed dough and collect sheets. Check whether its motor is included and whether it needs a clamp. With limited counter space, I need room to handle dough without hand-cranking, then somewhere to put the machine away. Workable space and hands-free use come first for around 33% of consumers.
Accessories and cleaning Confirm which ravioli attachments are included and compatible, and follow the exact model’s instructions for cleaning its removable parts. If I make ravioli regularly, I need a filling and cutting method I can manage, along with clean-up that suits my routine; around 25% of consumers prioritise accessories and cleaning.

Buying mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming every electric pasta maker has adjustable rollers

    The Philips 7000 Series HR2665/93 forms pasta through shaping discs, including a lasagne disc. That is a different way of making sheets from feeding dough through a roller with selectable thickness settings.

    Decide which sheet-making process you want, then check the mechanism and supplied disc or roller features of the exact model.

  • Assuming a sheet roller also forms ravioli

    A roller makes dough sheets, but filling, sealing and cutting can still be separate steps. Marcato lists its accessory for forming 45 mm square ravioli separately from Atlasmotor+.

    Check the contents of the exact bundle and attachment compatibility. If you intend to assemble ravioli manually, decide whether you need a separate mould or cutter.

  • Measuring only the machine’s footprint

    The appliance must also have space for dough entering and sheets leaving it; body dimensions alone do not describe the full working area.

    Measure the intended cupboard space and the clear counter space on both sides of the machine, including access for its plug and cable.

  • Applying one model’s cleaning instructions to another

    The GAMMO Europe listing describes Imperia PastaPresto as not dishwasher safe, while Philips describes dishwasher-safe parts for the HR2665/93. A claim about removable parts does not cover a motorised body.

    Follow the manual for the exact model and check which components, if any, the dishwasher guidance covers.

Brands and product lines to consider

Marcato

Atlasmotor+ offers a motorised roller workflow for cooks who want to handle dough with both hands; ravioli-forming is a separate accessory choice.

  • Marcato states that Atlasmotor+ includes the Pastadrive motor, works on a flat surface without a clamp and has a 10-position thickness knob.
  • Marcato lists its accessory for making 45 mm square ravioli separately. Confirm that it fits the machine and is included if you want it in the bundle.

Imperia

PastaPresto is an electric sheet-roller option with a stated roller width that can help you assess its fit for hand-assembled ravioli.

  • The GAMMO Europe PastaPresto listing specifies a 150 mm sheet width and six thickness settings from 1.9 mm to 0.2 mm.
  • That listing says the machine is not dishwasher safe and describes SIMPLEX attachments as expansion options. Confirm the exact UK-supplied model’s plug, electrical specification, dimensions and bundle contents with the seller.

Philips

The 7000 Series HR2665/93 takes an automated, disc-based approach for cooks whose ravioli method can use a lasagne sheet formed that way.

  • Philips lists automated processing, auto-weighing, a supplied lasagne shaping disc and dishwasher-safe parts for the HR2665/93.
  • Its disc-based process is not an adjustable roller workflow. Check that the resulting sheet suits how you intend to fill and seal ravioli.

Frequently asked questions

Will an electric pasta maker form ravioli as well as make the sheets?

Not necessarily: a roller can make the sheets while you fill, seal and cut the ravioli separately. Marcato lists its accessory for forming 45 mm square ravioli separately, so check whether a compatible attachment comes with the exact bundle.

Can I use an automatic pasta maker for ravioli sheets?

Yes, if it has a lasagne-sheet disc and the sheets suit your filling and sealing method. Philips lists a lasagne disc for the HR2665/93, but its disc-based process does not give you the same roller-thickness controls as an adjustable sheet roller.

Can electric pasta makers go in the dishwasher?

Cleaning depends on the model and the component. The GAMMO Europe listing says Imperia PastaPresto is not dishwasher safe, whereas Philips identifies dishwasher-safe parts for the HR2665/93; check the exact manual before cleaning any motorised body or removable part.

What should I consider when using eggs in fresh ravioli?

Handle eggs and fillings hygienically and avoid cross-contamination. Food Standards Agency guidance for catering in England, Northern Ireland and Wales notes that no egg can be guaranteed free from Salmonella; take particular care if a filling or dish will contain raw or lightly cooked egg.
