Previously, it was a lot to me cumbersome to make alone Pasta - fresh pasta so there was only when we both had time. And we needed some really much time. Now with the Atlas engine it goes super fast and easy and alone out of hand. The engine can easily be fitted on the pasta machine, running at just the right speed and you can concentrate fully on the loading and unloading of the dough. The fact that the rollers are always running at a constant speed, there is no waves in the dough. The only drawback is the slightly loud volume. The engine is slightly warm during use and spread to 1 1/2 hours continuous operation a slight odor, as we know it from overloaded electrical appliances. I am very happy with it and can only recommend it!
