Best pasta!
I bought this machine and I have to say it is really good, making your own pasta is rewarding as it tastes so much better, just made some cannelloni last night and they were delicious. So it's great for lasagne, spaghetti...There are 2 things to be aware though: the attachement for the ravioli, it is just impossible to use it, we tried and ended up having our filing everywhere on the machine (you are not supposed to clean any parts of the machine with water which is great in a way as basically almost no cleaning is required!)so for ravioli we just bought some round cutting shape and it works very well. The other thing I would say is that you need to have a table or worktop thick enough to be able to fix the machine to it. That is for all pasta machine though, we've managed to do it on a chopping board but it's not ideal as it is moving a lot while using the machine.
In and all I would definitly recommend this machine as it is a great tool for someone who loves cooking pasta.

Over priced
I purchased this item 2 weeks ago and returned it within 2 days to get the basic imperia with 1 attachment which I love. I was really dissappointed with the 505 model. The ravioli attachment is as good as useless. I found making ravioli by hand from sheet far easier and cleaner. It says you MUST not wash the attachments - because they rust quickly, and yet the ravioli attachment gets covered in ravioli sauce - really unhygenic & major design fault. Likewise, the other attachment makes virtually identical pasta to the spagetti attachment. The imperia I feel only has one justifiable attachment which comes with the basic 'no frills' model. To top it off - the 505 model box is massive - and not appropriate for a standard kitchen. I believe it is over priced and best avoided : ( Sorry to be a spoil sport.....

Imperia Pasta Factory Gift Set
I bought the Imperia Pasta Gift Set for my 21 year old son who is currently at university. He absolutely loves it. The quality is excellent and it was very good value for money. He says it is easy to use and keep clean. He has enjoyed experimenting with the different types of pasta which he can now make. He says the pasta he makes is far more tasty than shop bought pasta. He is now considering buying the drying rack to go with his set. He cooks homemade pasta regularly for his two female flat mates and has yet to make some for his mother to sample!!
