Over all pretty good, November 19, 2009

I have been using this bread machine for the past 3 1/2 years about 3 times a week. It is very good for the most part. The only complaint I have is that the lining in the inner pan will tend to flake after A LOT of use. I replaced the paddle once because of flaking. The inner pan has gotten to the point that I need to use something to separate the bread from the pan to get it out. At this point I am going to look into other bread machines, but if I don't find anything I like better, I will certainly come back to this one.

Happy with purchase, November 16, 2009
So far I have only made three loaves of bread but based on that I am VERY happy with this breadmaker. My only reservation, based on my experience with my last bread machine, is that when starting the baking this one is a bit more difficult when you are seating the pan into the base of the machine. Other than that -- perfect.
Economical and Awsome!, November 13, 2009

After missing my old bread maker I got rid of a long time ago, looked for a new one. This bread maker fits every bill PLUS some! I've made about 5 loaves & lots of dough, with wonderful results. I have not tried the cake or jam settings yet. High quality features in a non~expensive model. My family loves the bread that comes straight out of the machine, and also when I make a variety of doughs to free form or shape my loaves into whatever I want to make. Easy to use, simple, & easy to clean. The paddle kneading blade is also metal and non~stick coated, and the loaves slip out with no "rips" on the bottom. A nice feature. Makes a tasty 1.5 pound loaf, or a big 2 pound one! Best bang for my buck. Highly recommended.

A great bread machine, November 8, 2009

I got this model to replace an older Sunbeam that finally wore out. The new one is as dependable as the old one. It does a great job on whole wheat bread, which is what we mostly use it for. The size of the baking "bucket" has changed and that makes the bread easier to use for a sandwich. I've used two of the older model machines for some time and was pleased with them. I'm looking forward to using this one for some time. I wish the replacement baking "buckets" were cheaper, though, because that's all my older model needs to become a working machine again.

a pleasant surprise, November 4, 2009

I have had several brands of bread machine before but I most pleased with this one. Overall the bread rises well, the instructions easy to follow and the crust wonderful. None of the other brands gave me a good hard crust with a moist inside. My husband finally is satisfied enough to ask me to put his lunch on the french bread. I would definitely recommend this to anyone whether they are just beginners or advanced bakers.
