After you have used this pasta maker a few times, you need to start a new thread and review this "gadget".

Most important tool is a light saber.

 
Fixed that for you ^^^

If you guys who picked the knife (which I agree is crucial) could pick an electric powered appliance which one would you choose ?

It's a tough choice between a food processor and a coffee grinder so it would be something I don't have.
A food processor with grinder attachments.

Nice, I use my 12000 BTU one on the gas grill, not often enough but great when I want to blacken it allows me to do so outside.

Starting to seem like a trick question. Life goes on without "gadgets" in the kitchen, just ask early pioneer women. I would say that there is not a gadget out there one could not live without, and that my friends is the correct answer.Boomshakalaka
