Pasta Machines Pricing and Costs

Choose the best pasta making machines for the job

Pasta machines pricing and costs vary tremendously depending on whether you are buying a manual pasta machine for home use or need a commercial pasta-making machine. Professional pasta makers need heavy-duty, industrial pasta machines, and restaurants can also use a durable commercial pasta-making machine.

Whether you are selecting an electric pasta machine for your home kitchen or need commercial pasta machines for your business, follow these important steps.

1. Decide whether you prefer an automatic pasta machine or a manual pasta machine.

2. Read reviews to be sure the pasta machine motor is durable and reliable.

3. Check different sources to find pasta makers for sale to get the best price.

 

Check out the pasta-making machines available for home use

Home pasta machines pricing and costs can vary considerably. If you want a hand-cranked machine for your counter top, you can pick one up inexpensively at most large retail stores that sell housewares. An electric pasta machine is a bit more expensive, but can make pasta making quicker and easier.
Try: Manually operated pasta machines range from about $20 to more than $1000, depending on the model. A-Best Fixture offers pasta machines from about $40 to $250. CHEFS has electric pasta machines available in the $200 range.

Choose commercial pasta makers for restaurant or frequent use

Restaurant pasta machines need to stand up to daily use, so choose a model that has a good rating. Every pasta machine has different features, so be sure you get the one that will do the job. Italian restaurants whose menus feature many pastas should consider buying enough machines to make the amount of pasta they need. Home cooks may also select a commercial pasta maker for its durability and versatility.
Try: The Cozy Pineapple sells commercial machines that run from $300-3000. The Wasserstrom Company has a range of pasta machines that cost between $200-1700.

Look for the best buy in professional pasta machines

If you are in the pasta-making business, search for industrial pasta machines for sale at a good price. These machines can be quite expensive, but they are a necessary investment. Be sure the machine you choose has the features you need to produce the pasta shapes you need.
Try: Be prepared to spend up to $10,000 or more for an industrial floor model. Phase II Pasta Machines and ITALTECH both sell industrial pasta machines in this range. If the costs are prohibitive, ITALTECH offers used models, which can lower the price considerably. More complicated extruder machines with added features can cost in excess of $65,000. Mr Cappuccino sells these, along with less expensive models; they also offer leasing options.

 

• If you buy an industrial or commercial pasta-making machine, don't just look at the price. Check to be sure parts and service are readily available if the machine should break. Your business can't afford to be without its pasta-making machine for any length of time.
• Along with your industrial pasta machine, look into purchasing a pasta cooker. Cookers are pricey, but will help you serve your customers perfectly prepared pasta.
