| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |

This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Functionality & user-friendliness | Lasagne sheets can be produced well, but there is no indication of which level you are on – tagliatelle and spaghetti unfortunately stick together after rolling and have to be separated by hand | 70 points |
| Design | Fits into any kitchen, elegant and timeless design | 100 points |
| Cleaning | Cleaning rather difficult, as many pieces of dough are hidden in the rollers and there are no instructions on how to take the product apart to remove the pieces | 70 points |
| Stability | Clamp only holds the product properly with little effort – otherwise it slips a lot, especially at a higher level for the lasagne plates | 70 points |
| Total | 78 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The practical test showed that the Goods & Gadgets® pasta machine works well and the production of lasagne sheets is possible without any problems. However, there was a lack of clear information on the rolling thickness, so it was necessary to take a closer look. When making tagliatelle and spaghetti, the pasta stuck together after rolling and had to be separated manually. The design of the pasta machine is timeless and fits into any kitchen. Cleaning proved to be somewhat difficult as there were no instructions for dismantling. The fixing clamp only held the product securely in place with a small amount of force.

and ratings from consumers

| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Good price-performance ratio | 80 points |
| Rating cut | Not rated, as there are still too few customer reviews | |
| Total | 80 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
