Performance
Chef Jordan tested the Marcato Atlas 150 and was impressed with the performance of this small but mighty machine, describing it in his Marcato Atlas 150 review as the best pasta maker he’s used. After putting it to work in multiple pasta-centric cooking classes, he found that it cut cleanly through the dough to form perfect pasta shapes every time.

What Does the Marcato Atlas 150 Come With?
The Italian-made Marcato Atlas 150 Pasta Machine has a sleek chrome-plated steel body that includes a pasta cutter, a hand crank and a clamp. The machine also comes with instructions and a 10-year manufacturer's warranty. The Marcato Atlas 150 Pasta Machine’s adjustable dial has 10 settings that allow you to roll out pasta to the perfect thickness for your recipe, from paper thin .6 mm noodles to heartier 4.8 mm noodles.

How Do You Clean the Marcato Atlas 150?
As far as the Atlas pasta machine goes for cleaning, it’s simple: wipe the body with a clean cloth and use a brush and a wooden stick to clean the pasta cutter. If you don’t have a brush on hand, toothpicks work fine.
A helpful feature of the Atlas 150 is the removable roller combs, which makes cleaning the Marcato Atlas 150 Pasta Machine a breeze. We also liked that the machine includes instructions for removing and cleaning the rollers, taking any guesswork out of the cleaning process.
Like all pasta machines, the Marcato Atlas 150 Pasta Machine should not be put in the dishwasher or washed with soap and water.
What Is the Difference Between the Marcato Atlas 150 and the Marcato Atlas 150 Wellness?
When it comes to the Marcato Atlas 150 Wellness vs. Classic, it is simply a matter of labeling. The Marcato Atlas 150 and the Marcato Atlas 150 Wellness machines are exactly the same — there is no difference between the two. The machines designated as “Wellness” are being rolled off the market.
Marcato Atlas 150 vs. 180
The Marcato Atlas 150 Pasta Machine is so named because it rolls sheets of pasta that are 150 mm wide. Similarly, the Marcato Atlas 180 Pasta Machine rolls sheets of pasta that are 180 mm wide.
The difference between the Marcato Atlas 150 vs. 180 is simply the size of the rollers. This makes the Atlas 180 slightly larger than the Atlas 150, but otherwise the features are the same.
