unless you're making a restaurants worth of pasta the pasta one is kinda pointless, a hand wound one is much cheaper and more than enough for any reasonable amount of home making
havent tried any of the others though

We use the pasta rollers and extruders , meat grinders and sausage stuffers. But I did upgrade to the biggest kitchenaid as 6.6l bowl lift one burned out the motor 3 times when it was used for milling grain and grinding beef. Kitchenaid gave me a full refund on the original mixer and I used this to help pay for the upgrade to the professional model.
The direct drive professional ones are significantly more powerful.
I already have a spiraliser so haven’t bought one for the kitchen aid. I also ditched the Mockmill attachment and got a dedicated Mockmill for flour making.

Sometimes the grater attachment is great to have, will do that pumpkin quiche agein soon, thanksd! But most of the time grating is limited to an amount that is still done by hand.
The extruder thing struggled the only time I made sausages (we have the smallest kitchenaid and the cheaper plastic attachments) But it comes out once a year to make churros looking cookies (spritzgebäck), those are fun to make as the dough consistency/speed/put on tray action really keep you busy.
And I agree, if we ever make pasta the manual chrome thing is enough.

Just ordered a kitchenaid mixer, really trying to complete middle class bingo. Has anyone got one and used the pasta maker attachments, or any of the attachments that use the front connector? Just wondered what are gimmicks and what are worth it?
