Choose an electric roller and cutter such as the Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700 if worktop space and control over sheet thickness come first; choose an automatic extruder such as the Philips HR2665/93 if you would rather reduce manual dough preparation. Both are described as making tagliatelle, but the Philips has a larger documented footprint. Check the exact model’s supplied cutter or disc before buying: fettuccine and tagliolini are not confirmation of tagliatelle capability.
You need an electric machine explicitly fitted to cut tagliatelle, but have limited clear worktop. Nisbets lists the Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700 at 27 × 23 cm; allow additional room to feed dough and collect the pasta.
You would rather add ingredients than mix and roll dough by hand. Philips describes the HR2665/93 as fully automated, with liquid-to-flour guidance and a supplied tagliatelle disc.
You need the supplied cutter or shaping disc to be named as tagliatelle, not merely as a way to make ribbon pasta. Check the exact package: the cited standard formats for Marcato Pasta Fresca name fettuccine and tagliolini instead.
Choose when: You want mixing and shaping combined; Philips describes the HR2665/93 as automated and lists a tagliatelle disc.
Trade-off: Its documented footprint is larger than that of the Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700, using dimensions listed by Amazon UK and Nisbets.
Choose when: You want to select sheet thickness and use a built-in tagliatelle cutter, as listed for the Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700 by Nisbets.
Trade-off: Dough preparation and feeding remain more hands-on than the automated workflow Philips describes for the HR2665/93.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Worktop space | Compare the exact model’s width and depth, then measure room for feeding ingredients or dough and collecting pasta. | If I have little clear worktop, I need the machine and my preparation space to fit at the same time. Around 27% of consumers put worktop footprint first. |
| Hands-off preparation | Check whether the machine mixes and shapes dough and whether liquid guidance is included. | I would rather avoid mixing and forming dough manually, even if the appliance takes more room. For around 33% of consumers, reducing hands-on preparation is the primary need. |
| Rolled tagliatelle | Confirm that a tagliatelle cutter is supplied, and check the roller width and thickness settings for the exact model. | When I want to choose the thickness of rolled sheets, I can accept more dough handling. Around 27% of consumers prioritise that rolled-and-cut approach. |
| Other doughs and formats | Separate supplied attachments from optional ones; confirm tagliatelle by name if it is essential. | If one stored machine needs to serve other dough tasks or formats too, I care about what its accessories actually allow. That wider use comes first for around 13% of consumers. |
Philips names a tagliatelle disc for the HR2665/93 and Nisbets names a built-in tagliatelle cutter for the Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700. The cited standard formats for Marcato Pasta Fresca instead name fettuccine and tagliolini.
Look for “tagliatelle” in the exact package’s supplied-disc or cutter list, and check whether the relevant attachment is included or optional.
Listed dimensions describe the machine, not the clear area needed to load it and collect finished pasta.
Measure the working space around the intended position as well as the appliance’s width and depth.
Philips describes an automated mixing-and-shaping workflow for the HR2665/93. Nisbets describes the Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700 by its rollers, cutters and thickness settings instead.
Decide whether you want the machine to prepare and extrude dough or to power the rolling and cutting stages.
A machine intended for a different market may not have the plug or voltage you expect for use in Great Britain.
Confirm the supplied plug, voltage and model-specific compliance information with the seller before ordering.
The HR2665/93 represents the automatic-extruder approach for cooks who want mixing and shaping combined.
The Pasta Presto Model 700 is an electric roller-and-cutter option with a specifically listed tagliatelle cutter.
Pasta Fresca and Atlasmotor+ are options to examine if modular rolling or electrically assisted dough work appeals to you.
No. Check the supplied cutter or shaping disc for the exact model. Philips names a tagliatelle disc for the HR2665/93, and Nisbets names a built-in tagliatelle cutter for the Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700; a listing for fettuccine or tagliolini alone does not confirm the same format.
The Imperia Pasta Presto Model 700 has the smaller nominal footprint of these two models: Nisbets lists it at 27 × 23 cm, while Amazon UK lists the Philips HR2665/93 at 32.7 × 22.9 cm. Leave additional room around either machine for its working process.
Philips describes removable parts of the HR2665/93 as dishwasher-safe. Follow that model’s cleaning instructions rather than applying the claim to every component or to another pasta maker.
No. GOV.UK’s Great Britain guidance, updated in March 2025, says recognition of certain goods meeting EU requirements, including CE marking, continues indefinitely. That does not establish the suitability of a particular appliance: check its voltage, supplied plug and model-specific compliance information with the seller. Northern Ireland has different provisions.
