Best Manual Pasta Machine: Imperia SP 150

For one of the best pasta machines on the market in a price range of between $100 and $200 the Imperia SP150 is our top choice.  Imperia is the only Italian company that makes pasta machines and as such has always excelled in product quality.

The Imperia SP150 is one of the most affordable pasta machines on the market that maintains quality and durability.  This is a manually operated machine.  However, there is an attachment that will motorize the machine.  We have found the motor being an optional attachment to be a plus for the purchaser.  If the motor wears out over time, the machine does not lose its functionality.

Imperia SP 150 Pasta Machine Quality

As with the higher end Imperia 220 Electric pasta machine, the Imperia SP150 Pasta Machine is made of steel and is chrome plated. The pasta machine comes with adjustable rollers and two cutter attachments for varying widths of pasta, such as tagliatelle and fettucine.  The detachable handle is steel with a wood grip for ease of use and comfort.

Stability of the Imperia Pasta Machine

The pasta machine comes with a screw attachment to anchor it to the table while in use, adding to the stability of the machine.  A clamp can be purchased to secure the pasta machine to the lip of the work table, although if motorized the Imperia Pasta Machine can sit in the middle of the work area being attached.

While every gourmet cook would love to own the Imperia 220 Electric Pasta Machine, the cost with all attachments could run up to close to $2000.  The Imperia SP150 Pasta Machine is much more affordable for home use.  In fact, for those who love pasta the cost of this machine is comparable to three or four dinners in a fine Italian restaurant.  Please refer to pasta machine attachments to learn about motorizing the Imperia SP 150 Pasta Machine.

Overall, among all pasta machines the Imperia SP150 is the one machine that is the best machine for the money.  The quality is excellent.  The care of the machine is easy.  The capabilities of this machine with accessories will meet almost every need of the gourmet cook who specializes in Italian cuisine.  The ease of use is evident from the time it comes out of the box.

All in all, if the buyer is looking for an affordable pasta machine that will complement any kitchen, the Imperia SP150 is the top choice.
