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

Finally found a pasta maker that holds up to heavy use. It is a basic pasta maker, no extra bells or whistles, but made for professional use and can tell they didn't cheap out on parts. It is definitely a more expensive option, however it will last a lifetime if taken care of properly, unlike the cheaper brands out there. Fit and finsh is of quality - everything feels smooth and solid. The motor and cutters lock in tightly. Overall worth the money, even if it's a bit on the more expensive end. And I rather pay the extra once than keep buying cheap $30-$40 makers and having them break in a few months.

This pasta dough roller is a fantastic kitchen tool that combines quality craftsmanship with durability. Its sturdy construction ensures it can handle homemade pasta and even Portuguese baked goods. Not only is it well made and reliable, but it also impresses with its ease of cleaning, making it a must-have for anyone who enjoys the art of pasta making and laminating dough. It's a versatile addition to my kitchen, as it effortlessly transforms my pasta dough into perfect sheets for various recipes. Whether I'm preparing traditional pasta dishes or experimenting with laminated dough for pastries, this machine consistently delivers excellent results, making it a valuable asset for any culinary enthusiast.

You get what you pay for. Obviously, this is priced higher than others like it. I have found it superb. I used its recommended recipe with a 50:50 mix of semolina & 00 flour. I mixed that in a food processor to provide some gluten build-up. I rolled, folded in half, and rolled again ...and again. I kept doing this until the roll was smooth. It required a few passes, but was definitely worth it. The resulting pasta was superb, the best I have ever eaten. Friends have agreed. Cons: it's noisy, not all cutters accept the motor attachment and the price ...but so what? The purpose was to make better pasta and this does exactly that. Initially, I felt guilty about having spent so much money for this product. After one taste, that guilt was gone. I have purchased more cutters as a result. I'm sold. If you are looking to make the best pasta you have ever tasted, purchase this product, use a 50-50 mix of semolina & 00 flour, (weigh your ingredients, don't use measuring cups), create your dough ball in a food processor, and get ready for the best pasta you have ever tasted.

Works amazing! Fondant and gum paste get rolled out with ease and its so easy to worth with. On the finest setting you can see your hands through the fondant and gumpaste. Definitely recommend 10/10. It also comes with the hand crank so if you're motor ever goes out you won't need to replace it you can just manually hand crank this bad boy. Cleaning is very easy and its worth every penny. It's built like a tank and this should last you a long long time.

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

Solid, really good weight to it, quality build, easy to use, perfect rolling gradiants. Makes perfect pasta every time! A really good buy!

Bonne qualité, facilite grandement la vie pour des tartelettes ou encore des sablés !

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.

Excelente produto, atendeu todas as expectativas

Comprato durante il Black friday x regalarlo alla mamma. Piccola ma efficace, ben fatta.
