Why did you buy this set if there are freestanding pasta makers that cost several times less than this?

Hi David I found that thy are far better made and when thy fit all together, to me, It is worth the extra moneyWayne

Why buy yet another BIG freestanding machine when I already have this one. Space is running low...

They seem to be high quality, and all of the attachments except the ravioli maker are powered by the KitchenAid, rather than by hand, which is great. Also, this way we only need to store the attachments, saving a little space.

The original kitchen aide unit was a Christmas gift from my children. Since that day I have been adding ALL the wonderful attachments to attain a complete all inclusive unit, I even make ice cream with my kitchen aide. The pasta set is automated, easy to use and cleans up quick while making great home made pasta

I bought the $169.99 one. I believe the more expensive set has a grout removal blade that's more expensive to buy alone.

I know you can buy the individually. Why not look up all the Farberware sets and see what you can find.

I don't know, I just looked at my blender and the pattern looked like it, for the price I gave it a shot and it worked great. That's what I use at work. That being said, I just bought a new kitchen aid for home you can get them refurbished for $59 and oh my now that's a blender!

I believe it is because the holiday season. Everyone looking for one and they have limited stock available. You know, supply and demand theory. I bought this exactly LEGO set 6 months ago for my daughter for the price under $30.

No... you will find on the site 5 different pasta cutters to choose with additional cost!

Just received my set, it comes with 4 attachments of which one of these attachments makes two different types of pasta. One attachment makes spaghetti, one makes ravioli, one makes reginette, and the attachment with two makes fettuccine and tagliolini. It also states it makes lasagne on the box.

Most likely the price usually goes up when the set is no longer available from Corelle. The supply gets low and the demand is still high.

I'm not sure why it's less expensive. I would contact the supplier for that. The only thing I can think of is the 4x4 is more popular

From everything I can tell from comments & the product description, its just that you are 'paying' for the big one and getting the little one 'free.' Since it specifies that its a Buy One, Get One Free SET, and not Buy One Set, Get One Set Free, it seems to be a marketing ploy to make it look like a particularly good deal.[I have not bought these however, so I can't confirm this from personal experience.]

Try ebay. Otherwise this set of four is lower then prices i have seen for one.

It depends on where you're shopping. These cost more at a local grocer near me (the only store that carries them around me) so it may be a deal for some. But seriously, I see so many questions of "why are they so expensive compared to where I get it?" on amazon, it's simple- its for those that have NO access. For those of you who do AND pay less, it's futile even asking questions like that.

I have never seen the $20.00+ set. It's possible they are being sold by a specialty store, so the price is higher. That is why I prefer Amazon; I can often find the same item for a lower price.

Then you'll need to shop for some other product and pay approximately 10 times as much. We saw similar pans at a demonstration and nearly choked when they passed the price list around. We bought our Chef's Secret pans almost two years ago and love them.

My daughter wanted this and she has used it several times. I'm thinking that if I had the kitchen aid I would just get the attachment. But This machine does work good, especially for the money. It's kind of loud but it made good pasta. It's a little time consuming because you have to stand there and wait for the pasta to get the right length then cut it off with a knife. As I would assume you would have to do with most machines. Just depends on what you are looking for. We havent used it a lot so it's hard to give a good opinion on if you plan to make a lot of pasta. I'm definitely not unhappy with the purchase. Hope this helps.

I was wondering the same thing!!! I researched this model and was going to purchase it from Amazon, but heck no at this price!! It is on th Food Saver website for $200.96. There has to be a mistake, or someone is trying to rip people off!

Small Appliance.com has them and Cuisinart Web store. They are $30 a piece I think.
