I bought the Avance pasta maker in a previous woot a couple years ago (my model did not have the built in scale, but seems to be the same otherwise). This is an excellent pasta maker - super easy to clean, makes great pasta, and you can make a lot of different types of pasta with the different discs.
If you are looking to make pasta regularly, this is well worth the price. (I actually used mine often enough to break it, and via the non-Philips refurb 1yr warranty on mine got the replacement part thru the mail in a week - yay!)
For those interested, I actually reviewed it in some detail on my personal food blog: http://epicurean.nirdvana.com/philips-healthy-cook-hr235705-avance-collection-pasta-maker/
