So I thought I might pick up a pasta maker. I was thinking I would pick this one up:

Does any one have any thoughts on the subject?

Friends use Imperia makers very comfortably. Electric or manual have produced equally good results, with practice. Of course these are turning out the result of careful mixing and kneading. A safe bet, I'd say if you're prepared to do the prep.

Those are good. If it is the one I am thinking of, you can change the thickness of the pasta and the cut of the pasta.

That's the one I have. Works just fine.

Make sure to clean it thoroughly before using or you'll get some metal filings in your first batch.

Those are a bugger to completely clean. Doing the low carb thing, pasta is not really on my mind, but if I go back to hand making it, I'm going to buy the Kitchen Aid attachment. If you're doing it alone, loosing the one hand to the crank is a pain. I think it would be easier with an electric one and having both hands free to handle the pasta.

FWIW, the main thing is, making your own pasta. You could even just roll it out on a counter, and use a knife to cut some rustic pasta strips. The texture is so completely different vs. dried commercial pasta.
