KitchenAid Mixer Pasta Attachment

Any insights here? Thinking of getting one for the Mrs. She’s sensitive, not allergic, to gluten so making pasta would be a nice change. I looked online and was surprised at how many choices there are and price ranges.
We’ve never used a pasta attachment and don’t know anyone who owns one.
TIA

Are you looking at the extractor or the roller.
I have the roller and it's a lot of fun to use. Just don't use it a ton, so it's definitely sort of a frivolous luxury from a value standpoint.
I have the roller, along with the cutter attachments for fettuccini and thinner sort of spaghetti. I mostly like using the roller for sheets and for making ravioli.

I did the same thing with the sausage maker attachment.

Good question. Sheets for lasagna or ravioli would be good. Whatever for spaghetti is a must. Does the extractor work well?

shite I've never used any part of the stand mixer I got a year ago. It's good knowing it's there though, just in case.

We have it. Used it once
Use the spiralizer all the time though
Use the meat grinder occasionally

I have no clue. I guess I wasn’t exactly clear. I have the roller that rolls sheets and it came with two separate sized cutting rollers.
I don’t have and have never used the extractor. It’s a deal that pushes pasta dough through holes. A completely different process than the roller. Seems less versatile to me, but I would imagine it works fine for what it is.
I mostly wanted something to make sheets and only the roller will do that.

We have all the attachments.
They haven’t been used in several years.

I have the roller, fettucine and spaghetti cutter and like them. As others have said, I don't use them often, but a couple times a year.

Same here. I caught the diabetus last year so that’s slower my roll on eating in general but especially carbs.

I have the roller, if you like fresh pasta (my wife does) it is great and easy. If I'm eating pasta, I'm more of a fan of dried Semolina pasta - but the high quality slow dried real Italian stuff.
Fresh Pasta is increadibly easy to make, and I would recommend getting a little rack with bars to put it on if you are making a good sized batch to keep it from sticking before dropping into the water.
TLDR: KitchenAid Roller attachment is really, really hard to beat.

My wife is similar. She has microscopic colitis so Gluten messes with her. Not nearly as bad as someone with Celiac or Crohn's.
I did get a Philips pasta maker when it was on sale for $199. I think there are versions on amazon for around that price today. I highly recommend it as an option.
You just measure out your ingredients and dump them in the mixer. It mixes for 3 minutes and then starts pushing it out. Cut it with a knife or supplied plastic utensil when it's the length you want. Boil in water for 3 or 4 minutes and it's done. Very easy and cleanup isn't too bad.
My biggest issue with gluten free pasta is once it gets cold the texture is never quite right again. It's usually a bit chalky. My gluten free pasta comes out much smoother and I can eat it cold out of the fridge.
