Just bought the motor after it was restocked on Amazon! Arrives Monday! Have the 180, new, but haven't opened it because I was waiting for the motor! Great review!!!

[@ChefNickyMorse]

@@d3w4yn3 I’m so excited for you…thanks for the kind words about my review. Let me know how it works out for you.

[@SC-mj6qw]

Ok, so I am not alone with wondering what that thing is. This is why I was on KZbin to find out. Thank you for not leaving me alone in this journey of finding out what that thing is.😅😅😅😅😅

[@ChefNickyMorse]

It's crazy! I have no idea what it is... LOL! I guess I could call the company, but that would be too easy. Let me know if you figure it out. Have a great day!

The story about how your grandmother stored the Atlas in a box and wrote on it brought a smile to my heart.❤

[@ChefNickyMorse]

@@fragranthills Thanks so much for the nice comment. It is a great memory, for sure!

[@QuynhNguyen-ep4by]

Could you please provide me with information about which motor model is compatible with the Marcato Atlas 180?

[@ChefNickyMorse]

@@QuynhNguyen-ep4by Hi, thanks for your interest. The link I provided in the above video description is for the exact motor I use on my 180.

[@joannalopes1159]

Do you ever wish you could use more cutter attachments with it? I'm trying to decide between the 150 & the 180 and that's my only issue. Also wondering if the motor is as loud as the KitchenAid when using their past attachments? I don't use my KitchenAid attachment anymore because of how loud the mixer is.

[@ChefNickyMorse]

I don't have any other attachments, and I'm ok with it. Some shapes I make by hand after rolling sheets or twisting wide pasta, etc... As far as how loud it is. I don't think it's as loud as the mixer. I just asked my mom, because she is standing here. She thinks it way more quiet than the mixer. 150 vs 180...no question. If you can afford the 180, it is a pleasure. wider has more options and gets done faster. I even use the 180 for some bread shapes I make. What are you planning to make? Hope this helps. Happy New Year!

[@joannalopes1159]

@@ChefNickyMorse Thank you for your reply. I am starting to hand cut my pasta and would like to start making my own lasagna sheets as well, so the 180 interests me for the extra width. The one attachment I would love to have is Trenette as that is what my mom makes every year for Christmas. However, I do have an Imperia I could purchase that attachment for. I find the dial on the Imperia hard to turn and a pain to use (it was completely stuck for a while) so I have only used it for the Mille Gnocchi attachment. The Marcato seems like it might be made better than the Imperia. I'm on the fence about purchasing the motor as well - do you typically use it or hand crank?

[@ChefNickyMorse]

@@joannalopes1159 Is the Trenette cutter width that different than the cutters on the Marcato 180? I've not used the Trenette cutter. I wouldn't think it's more than 1/2 millimeter off (although I understand how important that can be!). Sounds like your Imperia has something stuck inside, or it's bent??? For me, the motor on the Marcato has been a must. It allows me to put the machine anywhere on a table...doesn't need clamped down. I can use both hands, etc... I never use the hand crank. I like the crank if kids come over, although they love the motor as well.

@@joannalopes1159 Have you ever tried my pasta dough recipes? I'd love your thoughts. I will send you two links. One pasta dough recipe without eggs and one with.

So true too funny thanks for the info

[@ChefNickyMorse]

It's my pleasure...glad you got a laugh!

[@selina-jolinbeck2173]

How loud is the motor?

[@ChefNickyMorse]

It does make some noise because it's a motor, but it's not that loud...Maybe like a mixer...

[@selina-jolinbeck2173]

@@ChefNickyMorseThank you for the answer!

[@ChefNickyMorse]

@@selina-jolinbeck2173 It's my pleasure. Have a great week!

[@CatherineSummerfield]

Great video... Do not get upset but I will be using it or polymer clay !!! ( because I do not have an Italian Grandma to teach me pasta and sauce !!!

[@ChefNickyMorse]

Thanks for the kind words about the video. I think it's cool you are using it for clay...it's perfect! ...wish I could help you out on the Italian Grandma part. LOL!

[@CatherineSummerfield]

@@ChefNickyMorse You are welcome.! If every kid had an Italian Grandma - the world would be less messed up !!!
