1. The way she brushes around the metal reminds me of those archeologists who take utmost care to not let the stuff inside come out.

2. What a useless video

3. Why hasn’t Kitchenaid come up with a solution for all the cracked dough strippers (or guards) on the earlier model. Money down the drain. You only need to sell the replacement dough strippers with “repair at your own risk.”

4. I miss the part where the dough gets tangled behind the shielding.
   Needed to unscrew those four screws and get the springs out do get the shielding off.
   Then it was easy to clean.

5. How did you come with an idea of a food processing tool which cannot be washed? 😂

6. Well… this has encoraged me not to buy the pasta cutter at all. This looks really fiddly and I imagine I will leave bits of egg pasta to go off. Not worth the hassle.

7. I just got this and told me never to wash it… that’s just unsettling. If it’s my first time using do I just assume that I don’t clean it before first use? That’s so odd. Poor design. Really!?

8. Yeah mine started sounding like a rattle after the first use; 6mo later its still in there

9. This video could use an update. As others have wondered, whats the method to clean out the bits trapped in the housing of the rollers?

   I suppose the obvious answer is to unfasten the housing and clean the interior parts that way. Get your screwdriver and have at it 😀

10. Wow! What a lie! They act like it's so easy to clean, yet they don't even show you how to fully clean it. Why? Because they KNOW they didn't design it well for cleaning. My review, fun to use, until you clean, then I never want to use it again. You should NEVER have to dismantle this to fully clean it. This thing left my hands bloody after trying to clean it the first time because the only screwdriver I had small enough was a double sided one, then the grease got on my hand and the screwdriver slipped, resulting in a now very bloody hand. Thanks kitchenaid! You suck!

11. i almost bought one, glad i did not

12. I have avoided problems with my set of rollers by doing the following:
    Be sure the dough is on the dry side, rather crumbly but comes together when squeezed with your fingers. Then knead the dough till smooth and elastic. If it gets difficult to knead, let the dough rest 20 minutes and try again. Divide the dough in 4 or 6 pcs, depending on how large a batch you are making. Cover pieces with a damp towel while rolling out the dough. Fold dough and run through the rollers a few times on each thickness setting till you reach the desired thickness, dusting lightly with flour if necessary to prevent sticking. Set aside each rolled piece on tea towels, pasta hanger or like in my case, the backs of my kitchen chairs. When done rolling out your dough should easily cut without leaving dough in the cutter. Follow the mfg's directions for cleaning. As far a salmonella fears, are you planning to eat the noodles raw or are you going to boil them in salted 212f water for 5 minutes? Samonlella will not survive that😎
