Atlas Drive Motor, Made in Italy, Powers Pasta Machines and Attachments, Silver

This thing makes pasta and it's easy to do. My kitchen counter doesn't hold the pasta machine due to the setbacks under the counter that defeat the clamp. I am not Vishnu with 8 arms so I can't hold the machine, crank it, feed the pasta and guide it out. No clamp needed for the machine with the motor and it works smoothly, easily transferring from roll out to one of the cutting options. A recent national review said this and the matching pasta machine were not Rolls Royce models but were like a Camry - works every time and gets the job done reliably. I agree.

I would order this again in a heartbeat. It is a bit louder than I expected but still love it.

Why would anyone in the United State buy this Atlas Drive Motor with 240v and a power cord for 240v??? I can't believe Amazon would allow them to sell this unit in the U.S. I emailed the supply twice and received absolutely no response from them. I called Amazon and they said they cannot do anything about this. So I asked Amazon if they could send another unit and could the shipping Dept. please check to see if has a 120v power supply (like what is pictured in the ad). NO SUCH LUCK! I received a second 240v unit. This is a complete mess. Now I have to ship both back.

You will never go back to hand cranking your pasta once you start using this! Made my pasta so much faster and easier. Love having 2 hands to handle the dough while processing it through the pasta maker. Worth every penny.

My 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 over The 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 cake The 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 plastic It'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)

I bought the Atlas pasta roller when I lived in Italy. My landlady showed me the difference between store-bought and fresh pasta, plus all the variations. In Italy everything is 220 volts, and I bought the 220v motor. Moving back to the States meant I couldn't use the 220v motor and had to hand-crank the pasta roller, which is a pain. The 120v motor is strong, but not too quiet. I don't care, I just want great pasta without the work of hand-rolling. I haven't bought pasta in 15 years, the roller and motors are indestructible. A good companion is "The Silver Spoon" cookbook, over 1000 pages, in print only in Italian for 50 years and now in English, about $32. Buon mangiare.

I got what I wanted but the picture is false. It's a European power cord that come with it. If you want to use it you'll will need a European to US adapter or buy a IEC C7 2.5A 250V cord.

I 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.

Fits my 180 slide Atlas pasta maker beautifully. Genuine product as described. Came with Australian plug.

Ürün çok güzel kaliteli işini çok güzel yapıyor. Yaklaşık 2 yıllık kullanımdan sonra benim fikrim şu. 300- 500 - 700 gr hamur için hiç gerek yok el ile çevirmeye devam edin ama bir kilo ve üzeri için alın çok ta rahat edersiniz

It looks & feels very well made. It works excellent with the atlas & makes pasta making very easy.

Parfait avec ma machine à pâtes ATLAS 150. Je m'en sers surtout pour mes travaux manuels, le travail des pâtes polymères de type FIMO, CERNIT, PARDO, et redoutablement efficace pour rendre les pâtes plus malléables. Astuce, j'ai branché un interrupteur à pied (type pédale machine à coudre), cela me permet de travailler plus facilement avec mes deux mains. Tout est nickel, à recommander.

Dieser Motor erleichtert mir die Arbeit sehr. Es geht viel schneller und macht somit auch gleich mehr Spaß. Wenn der Teig etwas dicker eingelegt wird, merkt man, dass der Motor etwas arbeiten muss, aber er schafft es. Nur die Lautstärke ist wirklich laut. Aber das muss man halt in Kauf nehmen. Schöner gefunden hätte ich noch, wenn das Gehäuse aus Metall und nicht aus Kunststoff gewesen wäre. Der Preis ist halt schon ziemlich hoch für den Motor. Wer das nur gelegentlich nutzt, für den wohl zu teuer. Lohnt sich erst für regelmäßiges Benutzen
