What a wonderful toy! - J. P. Gordon, Jan 04, 2008

I purchased this machine after a terrible experience with my Kitchenaid pasta attachments. I had no luck producing pasta and ended my experience in tears,not a good way to pursue a favorite hobby. When my Atlas arrived I followed the directions and within an hour I had produced a lovely bowl of fresh spinach pasta which my husband and I promptly ate!!!!! My husband took a turn and he produced a perfect batch on his first attempt. Somtimes simple is exactly what is needed since the price of the Kitchenaid rollers is well over a hundred dollars and the Atlas was a bargin with free shipping as well. I can't say enough good things about the Atlas plus they have a very informative web site. Bellisimo ...J.P.

Very pleased... - J. Maenle, Jun 14, 2007

Since this is my first pasta machine I have no others to compare with. My first result was "OK" and subsequent attempts much better. As a newbie at making pasta I think the machine is great, though the thin spaghetti from the spaghetti cutter is prone to stick some (probably my bad - too moist?) the fettucine/taglatelle cutter works great and sheets for cut shapes like bow-ties are really simple to do. I am happy with my purchase and am having fun with it. Though it involves more work, fresh pasta is great!

Mercato Atlas 150 Poorly made - D. Alexander, Apr 14, 2007

I purchased this pasta machine and wasn't even able to roll 1 sheet before the rollers stopped turning. Upon further inspecttion it doesn't appear to be assembled correctly. I had high hopes for this machine but was sorely dissappointed.

Industrial quality - David Paoletta, Mar 27, 2007

I got this pasta maker based on feedback from this and similar web sites. As always, the quality of the pasta depends on the quality of the dough - and that takes some practice. Once I had a good recipe and decent results rolling out by hand, the addition of this machine made life great!

Despite the jokes about Fiats and other Italian machinery - this machine is world class. It is heavy, solid and built to tight tolerances. You need to cut your pasta to fit and it's nice to have another set of hands, but once you get used to it the results are amazing!

I also got the ravioli attachment which is awesome. This machine will last forever if you care for it (do not immerse!) and makes a super fresh pasta dinner in less than an hour. My Sicilian mother (rest in peace) would be jealous!

So much fun and great pasta - Debbie Michel, Oct 24, 2006

I just ordered this pasta machine and I love it. It is a litte messy and time consuming to make fresh pasta dough but the effort was worth it. I had success on my first effort and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My husband was amazed at the difference in texture of fresh pasta. The basic pasta recipe that comes with the machine is made with only eggs and all-purpose flour. Super simple. The angel hair attachment I ordered was not made by atlas but is supposed to fit this machine. It fits, but came off several times. I'm looking forward to trying some different recipes.
