MARCATO Made in Italy Atlas 180 Roller Manual Pasta Machine, Chrome Steel.

Works great, easy to use and clean, quality.

Exactly what I hoped for! Solid machine that makes wide thin sheets for ravioli, lasagna, pappardelle, etc. Clamps tightly to the table and the crank and thickness dial work great. Ordered late night and was making pasta the next day.

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!

Atlas is the best pasta maker but I use it for polymer clay sheets not pasta

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

Great solid machine. Works very well.

Was excited to purchase at a decent price - it works fine with the crank handle, I was disappointed when I figured out it won't work with the motor. I use it for polymer clay - not for pasta making.

Very smooth to operate!
