Noodles are a popular product for a huge part of the population. Branded products are not always affordable for the buyer, and cheap ones are harmful to health. Now noodles can be made at home thanks to a special tool. Attention is presented with an overview of household pasta cutters of various price segments, which are popular in 2022.
Content
There are two types of noodle making machines: mechanical and electric. At home, manual machines are used that do not require additional equipment for operation, unlike electric models that consume electricity and cannot always connect to the network. Machines of this kind are used in catering and trade establishments.
Electrical equipment has high performance, which is no longer necessary for making homemade noodles, because such units are more in demand in a professional kitchen. However, if funds allow, then an ordinary housewife can please herself with such equipment.
A machine with a manual drive is attached to the tabletop with a clamp, with an electric one, as a rule, it is simply placed on the tabletop, so that the power cord can freely reach the outlet.
The case of two representatives is made of food stainless steel. Individual elements, such as the handle tip, control panel or accessories, can be made of high-strength plastic or wood (depending on the structural element).
Types of kitchen machines can be classified according to their purpose. Manual machines are equipped with one or more nozzles that are capable of making thin and wide noodles. In more expensive devices, it is possible to prepare dumplings, other Italian dishes. In electrical appliances, there are always a lot of solutions, additional nozzles or the possibility of installing them if there are none in the set.
Dough cutting can be different, as well as the width of the dough layer - this criterion is important for both devices, which is desirable to pay attention to when buying a noodle cutter.
Ordering online is an easy way that has its pros and cons. The advantages of such a purchase include a wide range of products, affordable prices (in some stores the goods will cost less), favorable delivery conditions, and registration in several ways at any convenient time. The most important disadvantage is the lack of guarantees of the quality of the purchase.
In official institutions, a warranty card must be provided, the validity of which can vary from several weeks to several years (depending on the manufacturer). Undoubtedly, the more expensive the product, the longer the warranty period.
Note! The online store regularly holds promotions and sets discounts on equipment that are easier to track.
How to choose a noodle cutter for home? First you need to familiarize yourself with the information, what are the devices. Then, take two models and compare their technical properties, read the description and customer reviews to understand which unit is better to buy. Other recommendations:
According to buyers, manual installation can be completely dispensed with in a home kitchen, with a universal nozzle (narrow and wide strips of noodles) - this is the cheapest option. If you take a model with additional details, for example, a dough sheeter, a cleaning brush, a flour scoop, and the like, then the cost will be much higher.
You need to pay attention to the assembly of the pasta cutter so that all parts are securely fixed. The technique is always made of stainless steel, but this does not mean that it is of high quality. Any minor detail during assembly can reduce the performance of the installation and ultimately lead to its collapse.
The maintainability of home inexpensive machines is called into question. If the nozzle is removable, then everything is in order, but if the mechanism is built-in, then you will have to get a new machine. In any case, the buyer must assess all risks in advance.

On display are two types of noodle cutters for the home with manual and electric drive. The second models are much less popular in comparison with mechanical units. This is primarily due to the fact that no additional costs are required during operation, and secondly, the product is ten times more expensive than some manual installations.
On a note! The principle of operation of the two devices is similar, however, the rotation of the gears in some requires mechanical action, while in others it happens automatically - the main difference. Therefore, before going to the store, it is worth considering whether it is worth buying an electrical appliance or not.
The table shows all models: budget, mid-range, expensive. Some technical parameters have been included for comparison. Which company is better to purchase equipment - the decision is up to the buyer.
