OutstandingI got the original Marcato Atlas 150 at a yard sale for $10 many years ago. Love it for the pasta, hated it for the difficulty handling it. You basically need a second person cranking it. This motor is that second person. Now I love it all the way.I was debating with myself for a while if I should get this motor or the KitchenAid attachments. Then I saw those attachments in action at a friend’s house and … problem is they only come in stainless steel, which is no match for the anodized aluminum rollers in an original Marcato. End of story.

Excellent motorThe motor works well, is replacing the one I bought 7 or 8 years ago. The last one was a workhorse, and I have high hopes for this new one.

Quality Product & Decent Price for What It Does!The product is awesome and the only thing that was missing that should have been included was a cleaning brush which I purchased on the side but wasn’t a deal breaker.Two hints on making your experience with this much better.1. Read the manual2. Watch some videos on the google-tube about using it.If those two fail. Read the manual again. 😉

Stout, feels like qualityI got the Marcato Ampia150 because it was cheaper than their Atlas 150 model. I have no regrets. Made pasta the first time and it never moved. Everything about this product is quality. Put on some Italian music and start making pasta!

Worth the moneyThis is a good little pasta roller. Works much better than the cheap Chinese machines. Smooth operation, nothing sticks, easy to clean. I have told friends to buy this one

Great pasta makerThis pasta maker was easy to set up and easy to use. Clean up was a breeze. I will only make the two noodle shapes on the machine so not being able to attach more accessories is not an issue.

Meh, for my (picky) auntMy aunt recently asked me to buy her a atlas pasta maker (she lives in Asia, and for some reason atlas branded stuff is more expansive there)Anyway, when I received the package, I opened it up to do a quick inspection, and the retail packaging (not shipping, shipping box was well padded) I noticed the axel has actually peirced the box (O.O)I also plugged it in to test it, I noticed the motor sounded similar to a cordless drill (I was expecting a high rpm motor with a gearbox, not a low rpm high torque motor)The design is weird, in my belief, it looks better on an atlas 150/180 upside down, and if you look form a distance, it looks like the whole things going to tilt overThe cord is a universal cord similar to the cords on sony power bricks (male uc to female 2 pin), so if the cord somehow breaks, finding another one is going to bea peice of cakeThe design for attaching onto the atlas 150/180 isn’t exactly the best, it’s simply 2 pins that you put on and turn.As for the material, it’s cheap plastic you’d expect to find on a toy, heck even Legos have higher quality plasticIt’s secure enough for now (if my aunt complains, it was HER choice)The 3 position switch is nice, there’s a “pulse” (short press or hold), and a on (stays on) (thirds the off)
