MARCATO Made in Italy Atlas 150 Roller Manual Pasta Machine, Chrome Steel

Very good product. Works perfectly, sturdy and easy to use. So good my 14 year old got in on it and was making spaghettis in minutes.Highly recommend if you're looking for something inexpensive but quality.WARNING. The clamp that holds the machine to the counter needs a deep lip to get a good bite on in order to be secure. My counter is too narrow and you can see the edge of the clap disk perturbing out.I don't think I'd blame the design of the machine on this but if you have a counter top that has a narrow lip this may be an issue.

My old atlas 150 started acting up and did not properly roll thinner dough anymore so I purchased this new one. High quality and works great. Worth paying more for a product from a trusted manufacturer.

I love this thing! It’s small which I like. I want to preface this by saying I got this to roll out clay! This helps condition the clay, get certain thicknesses and do certain techniques. My clay does not stick to the rollers at all. And I’ve used sculpey III in it!! No sticking problems at all! So that’s really good! lol You know what I’m talking about if you’re a polymer clay sculptor!I clean it using a paper towel and a very damp cloth. Then wipe it again with another cloth. Sometimes I use a rubbing alcohol on a makeup removing pad to wipe the rollers down. Some colors may leech a little but otherwise this roller is great and definitely worth it if you plan on using clay as a hobby or a business!

Yjis my 2nd one. I gave my other one to a friend. It had all the attachments. I then decided I wanted one so I got another brand name. It's alright but not as deluxe as the Marcato. I may have to order the ravioli maker that goes with my Marcato, but that is just a maybe...we shall see. I am hooked on making my own pasta. Linguine is my favorite. The wide noodles are my favorite for all noodle soups. The Marcato kit is the best deal on the market. It has many accessories. I recommend the Marcato Pasta maker.

This is a hard review to make because I enjoy using this and making pasta since I bought it, but it was all the work I had to do to make it work that disappoints me and makes me give it a 1 star. All the work that I feel was unnecessary.I bought this because I’ve wanted to make homemade pasta again ever since I first made it back in middle school. It tasted so much better than anything from the store and it was something I was proud of. I bought this to make pasta from scratch again. I bought the atlas 150 and an electric motor to go with it, because I feel like trying to hand crank it while feeding the dough in would be complicated. Need to feed the dough in, catch and pull it as it’s coming out, while at the same time hand cranking it. Is it doable? Yes. But felt like it would be too much aggravation, so I bought the electric motor too. I looked at the prices of the bundles and the stand alone items Marcato offers and seen it was cheaper to buy everything separately. I did my research, made sure everything would work with what I was buying. Thought I had it all down, but obviously not. That’s on me, but at the same time Marcato’s description and photos of the products aren’t very good in my opinion. Anyway, here’s why.So for the atlas 150 pasta roller itself, the hand crank fits, the electric motor doesn’t. It has the cut outs for the electric motor, but the shaft of the motor is too big to fit in the pasta roller. But the attachments that came with the 150… the motor fits in those. So the attachments it came with, the motor fits, the roller itself, it does not fit… why? It fits the other stuff it came bundled with but not the roller itself? I went back to the electric motor description, seen it fits various models of the atlas 150. Did I buy the wrong one? It’s subjective, but I don’t think I did. I went back to the bundle page, read the description, it does not list the model of atlas 150 it is. So what model am I getting? How am I supposed to know the electric motor will or won’t fit? This wasn’t something I thought I had to worry about. The motor says it’s for the atlas 150 in the title, the atlas 150 page itself doesn’t even list a model number, just says it’s an atlas 150.Whatever… I ordered a stand alone pasta roller atlas 150 to hopefully get lucky and maybe it’ll be the model I need. I could have returned the other, but in the end I feel like it was my mistake for not being thorough enough in my research. So I ordered another hoping it’s the right one, in the meantime I did some extra work to make the motor fit. I drilled out a bigger hole with a drill bit roughly the same diameter as the shaft on the motor. It works now, but I feel like I shouldn’t have had to do extra work to make something I feel like should have worked in the beginning. The hand crank did fit btw, but again I wanted more free hands to work with the dough as I’m rolling it, so I felt the motor would be better to just make it work.The other atlas 150 came in, I was unlucky again. Same problem as the first one.So now that my motor fits on the roller, let’s make some pasta. I made spaghetti for a few nights. My ravioli attachment just came in today. I go to use some leftover dough to make some ravioli, let’s fit the motor into the… are you kidding me? The ravioli attachment does not have holes to lock the motor in place. The shaft fits, but it won’t lock into place. Tf? Aright fine whatever, I wanted to use the hand crank for this anyway so I have more control. I’ll just use the hand crank and…. Wtf, the hand crank won’t work either, the shaft is too long so the fins won’t go into the attachment to spin the ravioli rollers… FINE. I guess I’ll just hold the motor in place cause dammit I want ravioli.So I make the ravioli, the attachment does a good job. But now I have some more work for myself cause I need to drill some holes into that thing now for the motor to attach properly. I go to the ravioli attachment page, there aren’t any pics showing the side where the crank is supposed to go, so it doesn’t show the lack of holes for the motor. That really my fault? I don’t think so. Feels deceptive to me personally.Am I able to make pasta? Yes. Am I able to use the electric motor I bought for this purpose? Yes, kind of, and no. Yeah, the motor attaches to the spaghetti attachment with no issue, it didn’t work with the atlas 150 at first without me having to drill out the hole bigger. Neither of my items work with the ravioli attachment out of the box. No holes for motor, and shaft for hand crank too long. So to make my items work, I have to drill out holes, drill out more holes on the ravioli attachment, and cut some of the shaft handle off to shorten it so the fins will go inside the machine and turn it properly. I should not have to modify these things this much. These should work right out of the box, the atlas 150 should have exactly which model it is somewhere on the product page, it doesn’t. For all this extra work, I have to give it a 1 star. I’m using the machine, yea, but only because I modified it to actually work. Disappointing

The machine worked for me for only one year. I did cook—though not very often, just once every two months. It was very comfortable, but unfortunately, it didn't last long.

I used this for my polymer clay crafts. This item is wonderful. It makes very consistent size sheets and is easy to assemble. The assembly only take 1 minute as it is 3 parts that is as simple as finding the slot it fits in. Very happy with this purchase. If you use it for polymer clay or synthetic materials do not use it for food. However, if you are looking to use this for food I imagine it will be wonderful seeing as polymer clay is much stiffer than dough to run through. This does not have the pasta cutter attachment if you were curious. You have to buy it sperate.

My 89 year old mother and I make sugar cookies every year for Christmas. With advancing age it has gotten more difficult to roll the dough really thin like we like them. This year I decided to get a pasta roller and see if it would roll the dough. Wow.....this worked like a charm! Wish I had bought this years ago. We make a lot of sugar cookies and 4 hours of rolling the dough was really difficult. This machine made it so much easier. We have gotten so many comments on our cookies this year from family, friends and even strangers. They turned out awesome. Highly recommended this pasta roller!

Tolles Gerät, eine gute Hilfe und funktioniert einfach.

Ni un año de uso y ya se ha estropeado ahora tengo que andar con líos a ver si hacen caso y se responsabiliza alguien

Macchina per la pasta perfetta, funzionale, identica a quella che avevo ereditato da mia nonna, infatti il supporto x l'accessorio che ho di quella vecchia x fare tagliolini/fettuccine combacia perfettamente con questa nuova.

I have been using it regularly since about a month. In all aspects it does what it claims. The best part is, Chappatis,Rotis, Poori come out perfectly as well as other "stuff" that you can make: Samosa Patti, South India Sweet "Madatha Kaaja", even Paani Pooris etc. Go for it.The only downside to rolling chapatis, pooris with this is that the size is small limited to 15 cms. If you want your chappatis/rotis, pooris to be bigger, then they come out elongated ellipses or rectangular :-)Two things I find the manufacturer could have done better is:1. The handle given to roll the dough comes off and keeps falling down, as there is no locking mechanism. They should have designed it in such as way that the handle is locked.2. The clamp to fix the pasta roller to a table/bench is not very good. It should have been better designed.Edit after a year of usage: The clamp broke off. For a Rs 7K plus machine, this should have been. Really bad design.

Funciona a la perfección
