Know before you buy
The base model comes with a double-cutter attachment for fettuccine and tagliolini, plus a flat roller for sheets. You can purchase additional attachments separately to create shapes like ravioli, spaghetti, or pappardelle.
No, the Atlas 150 should never be put in the dishwasher. You should clean it by wiping it down with a dry cloth or a small brush, and you can remove the plastic combs to clear out any stuck dough.
It includes a sturdy table clamp to secure the machine to your countertop, which is essential for stability while you feed the dough through the rollers. If you prefer not to use the clamp, you may need a second person to hold the machine steady.
The adjustment knob features 10 distinct settings, ranging from 4.8 mm down to 0.6 mm. This allows you to roll dough thin enough for delicate angel hair or thick enough for hearty lasagna noodles.
While it is designed specifically for pasta dough, many users successfully use it for fondant or craft clay. Just be aware that any residue from non-food materials will remain in the rollers, so it is best to dedicate the machine to either food or craft use exclusively.
