Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker – HR2357/05
This was first made available on Amazon in 2013, and has since been discontinued and upgraded. It’s the version I use but is very similar to the newer models. You can check out my post on how to use the Philips Pasta Maker if looking for specific instructions.
On Amazon you might see it called some other names based on who the seller is. However, you can tell by the model number: HR2357/05. You can also see that the knobs on the front are narrow and not round.
I don’t know why they made this change to be round on the newer models. I really like the narrow knows ergonomically.
Names this model also goes by:
- Premium collection Pasta and noodle maker (on Philip’s Site)
- Pasta and Noodle Maker (on Amazon Site)

Philips Pasta Maker 7000 Model
You can find this model on Amazon
This 7000 series was available on Amazon starting in July of 2023, so it appears to be the newest Philips Pasta Maker as of this writing.
This series comes with either 8 shaping discs or 6 depending on which model you get. I’ll list which specific ones in just a second.
It’s clearly designed for larger quantities/portions in a single batch. One of the top three benefits is it’s “large capacity” claim.
- Size: 12.6 x 8.66 x 12.6″
- Weight: 13.2 lbs
- # of Die casts included: 4 (spaghetti, penne, fettuccini, lasagna)
- Power /03 model: 150 W ; 120V ; 60hz
- Power /00 model: 200w ; 200-240V ; 50-60Hz
- Color: White
There are two models in this series.
The HR2660/03 and /00. The stronger motor is the /00 using 200W and comes with 6 discs, while the /03 uses 150W and comes with 8. Both have Pro Extrude Technology.

NOTE: According to one reviewer who showed an image, their /00 model showed a 150W on the back sticker. So if you need the 220W, then I would check that immediately when it arrives.
The 7000 series comes with a NutriU app which lets you download different types of recipes including vegan or gluten-free. I beleive this replaces the printed cookbook. I much prefer a book in hand but this may not be your preference.
What is very interesting with this series, is that is appears to offer the ability to “prep” dough for other uses like pizza and cookies. Pretty sure mine doesn’t do this so this seems like a pretty bold newer feature.
Shaping Discs Overview
Both models come with the following shaping discs/die cuts:
- Spaghetti
- Fettuccinie
- Penne
- Lasagna
- Angel hair (with cleaning tool)
- Thick Spaghetti
However the /03 model comes with an addition two discs:
- Tagliatelle
- Papperdelle
You can find this model on Amazon
Researching Tips
I know how challenging it can be when researching appliances. So I’ve done a lot of the work for you. But when researching, here are some tips you should be considering.
- Size and weight. Will it fit where you want to store it? Can you carry it? I’m a petite person and I can attest it’s not very heavy… but it’s not super light either. The largest one is 15 lbs and the lightest one is 13 lbs.
- Number of Dies included. Will you need to purchase more for the type of pasta you want? There are lots of dies available, but will you really need papperdelle? If so, you may need to order the accessory separately.
- Strength of Motor – how often do you plan on using the machine, and for how many servings?
- Budget. These do range in price, but they are relatively reasonable in price. I haven’t seen much increase in price since I bought my original one in 2017. They’ve also since come out with a smaller compact budget-friendly model as well which I devote a section to below.
Final Conclusion about the Philips Pasta Maker
In summary, the Philips pasta maker allows you to have full control over the quality of your ingredients. It ensures you have fresh pasta available in minutes. It is easy to use, operate and clean. Plus, it is fun for families to use together, teaching kids the value of homemade food.
The pasta or noodles that are made by the pasta maker do not have the same texture of taste of store-bought pasta. This machine truly generates homemade pasta that no store-bought brand can ever come close to.
This is important to realize.
It isn’t the best pasta machine for specialty pastas such as tortellini, and even the penne die cast doesn’t get rave reviews. You need to stick within the parameters of this machine.
So if you want to make lots of custom shapes, sizes and widths, this isn’t the machine. For example, you cannot extrude sheets of lasagna and then stretch them out thinner for another purpose.
The dough is not pliable after extrusion.
However, if you’re looking for a machine that produces homemade pasta consistently and quickly, this is a good pasta maker to choose.
Where to Purchase
Most of the models can be purchased on Amazon. If you go to the Philips website, they specifically state that they can be purchased at Amazon or even Crate and Barrel.

Philips Pasta Maker Tips
Here are some tips for the Philips pasta maker, regardless of which model you purchase.
Follow the Measurements from Philips
Stick to the measurements described in the book. Although it states you can experiment, the machine works best if you follow the recipes.
Wash Most Parts in the Dishwasher
It’s dishwasher safe, except for the motor obviously. The dishwasher does not clean out any dough in the die holes – you’ll need to clean these manually and then can run them through the dishwasher.
Soak the Die Casts in Warm Water to Clean
Cleaning the die casts can take some time. I found the best way to clean these is to let them sit in water and get very soft. Then use a cleaning tool to push any remaining dough through the holes.
Penne Die Cut
Penne is the most challenging. I attempted to make this only twice. It comes out very thick and doesn’t hold its shape. It sounds impressive, but the penne is not easy to work with.
Lasagna Die Cut
Lasagna die cut works very well. However, depending on how many layer and the size of the pan, you will need to process a few batches since a single batch only goes so far. It is worth the effort because the lasagna noodles are delicious.

Always Use a Scale for Measuring
Since flours have different densities, you can not go by volume, it must be by weight. Any type of digital scale will work. You can find a bunch on amazon for under $25.
What is the Philips Pasta Maker?
This is what the pasta looks like coming out. It’s delicious!
Philips has a few different versions of their pasta makers, but all are fairly similar.
Their pasta machines or makers (same thing) is simply a countertop machine that extrudes pasta automatically. It is not a manual pasta maker with a crank. This is automatic and electric.
So, you simply add the ingredients to the top container and press a few buttons and the machine does the rest – regardless of which model you choose. Soon, the pasta is extruding through the plastic food grade die casts, also called shaping discs.
You select the cut the pasta to the length you want as it comes out.
Origin
The pasta makers are made by Philips and manufactured in China. I can hear groans already.
But, like you I’d love to have this stamped with “Made in Italy”. However, in all fairness I am very impressed with the design and durability of the machine and cannot complain.

Pizza Dough – Using The Philips Pasta Machine
Not everyone thinks to use their Philips Pasta Machine in order to mix and knead fresh doughs at home! I have found this machine to be a triple-threat because I can use it to make homemade pasta, but also in order to easily mix and knead bread and pizza doughs! Your options are endless.

Philips Avance Collection or Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker Plus, Large – HR2357/06
This pasta machine looks almost identical to the previous 05 version that I have, but has a few changes. It is also part of the Avance Collection Pasta Maker.
This version includes an auto weighing function which the /05 version did not. This means you don’t need a separate scale.
In addition, the knobs are round not narrow.
- Size is larger: 12 x 15.94 x 13.38
- Weight: 14.7 lbs
- # of Die casts included: 4 (spaghetti, penne, fettuccini, lasagna)

Philips Viva Collection Pasta and Noodle Maker – HR2371/05 or HR2370/05
This collection is much smaller and compact. It is also the least expensive, and has lots of reviews. It comes with fewer accessories such as only 3 dies. It is offered in black or white on Amazon.
- Size: 13 x 5.8 11.9in (I think there is a typo on Amazon saying it is 15.5 wide, it isn’t, Philips documentation shows it is 5.8” wide).
- Weight: 10.36 lbs
- # of Dies: 3 – Spaghetti, penne, and fettuccini
- Power: 150W 120V 60hz
Although it is cheaper, it still comes with the cleaning tool, measuring cup and recipe booklet. This pasta maker by Philips is great for anyone who is limited on space or only wants a smaller batch.

The Philips Pasta Maker Recipe Book Provides More than Italian Pasta Recipes
Although I purchased my pasta maker specifically for making fettuccini and other Italian noodles, other cuisines also use this pasta maker.
Philips does a nice job of proving you with a variety of recipes and instructions for non-Italian noodles. A few examples of these are:
- Cold noodles with sesame dressing
- Soba salad with salmon and asparagus
- Miso ramen
- Beef udon
Whether it’s the physical recipe book or the app (newer models), it includes measurements to be used for different types of doughs such as:
- Wheat pasta
- Tomato pasta
- Soba
- Curried noodles
- And many more
The measurements in the recipe book should be followed. If you deviate too much the machine will not extrude properly. I’ve tried this personally and it was a disaster.
Philips provides these recipe measurements based on what the machine is capable of mixing and extruding. You must rely on the automatic functionality of the machine and can’t make adjustments halfway through – as you would a manual pasta maker.
Benefits of the Philips Pasta Maker
There are many benefits when using a pasta maker, I’ll explain what some of the benefits related to any of the Philips pasta makers.
Easy to Assemble and Disassemble
There are not many parts with this machine, making it easy to operate and clean. The overall principles of operation have not changed over the years.
The front of the machine comes off with two large ergonomically designed knobs. I say ergonomically designed because they allow a really good grip and for those that have weak hands or arthritis (I have it slightly) this is a wonderful benefit.
Full Control over the Quality of Ingredients
As with any kitchen appliance that helps with homemade cooking, you have the joy of knowing that you have full control over the quality of the ingredients in your food.
In our home, we use organic flour, organic eggs, and distilled water. This gives me peace knowing I’m avoiding any chemicals, additives, or preservatives that I don’t want to consume.
The Philips Pasta Maker is Lightweight and Easy to Carry
This is me back in 2017 carrying the pasta maker.
The Philips pasta maker is lightweight. We have the HR2357/05 which weighs 16 pounds. It is easy to lift up off a shelf and carry it to the counter. The newer HR2357/06 is 14.7 pounds.
I like how it is designed where I can easily place my hand under the extruder that makes it even easier. You can see that in my picture.

Variety of Die Casts Included with the Pasta Maker
The die casts are of a sturdy plastic and are easy to remove on and off. I have about 5 or 6 different ones, and when not using them, I keep them in a bowl next to the machine. I purchased additional dies at the time of purchase although I don’t use them all like I thought I would.
Shown in the image above are the standard 4 dies for the 2357 – spaghetti, penne, lasagna, and fettuccini.
Machine Doesn’t Bounce Around
This pasta machine is well balanced and although it’s easy to pick up and move around like I mentioned above, there are no issues of any bouncing, moving, whatever going on.
It’s sturdy.
Convenient Storage Drawer for the Pasta Die Casts
There is a convenient drawer that is in the front of the machine to help house the various dies, and that’s fine if you only have 3 or 4, but if you have more, they won’t all fit.
However, the drawer is a great place to keep the cleaner/cutter that is used to cut the pasta as it extrudes from the machine.
I really appreciate the thought that Philips put into when designing their pasta makers, and therefore why this particular feature is included in this review.

Homemade Pasta is Easier to Digest
Okay, so this isn’t a benefit of this particular pasta maker, but it is a benefit with homemade pasta. After eating a big bowl of store-bought pasta let’s face it – it lays heavy, and we feel bloated. With homemade pasta it just doesn’t have that same effect. In my book, that is a big plus.
The Philips Pasta Machine is Easy to Store
If there’s anything I can’t stand is a kitchen appliance that is hard to move due to it’s weight and size.
The Philips pasta machine is lightweight as I mentioned before but it is also easy to store given it’s size. Here’s an image of where I store it on our shelving rack.
