  Love the machine despise the measuring devices

  I love this bread maker. It does a great job making bread. I use other recipes outside of their book & they’ve always turned out great. My only complaint are the measuring cup & spoon provided. The book is adamant that only those are used. Yet I find it annoying to constantly have to clean them out to use other ingredients & find the markings on them very hard to read. I wish they’d just sell a full set to use. I use this bread machine 3-5 times a week so it does get tiresome using these instruments.

  Excellent Breadmaker.

  I like my bread maker! I'd never used one before let alone baking a loaf. Took me a couple of tries but 3rd loaf and later loaves turned out great. It's a weekly thing now using it. A word about the instructions and I can't stress this enough... follow them! Don't be intimidated just take your time. You do need to spoon the dry ingredients out of the bag and into a measuring cup lessening packing the flour into the cup. I also ended up buying a food thermometer to get the right temperature of the water. Follow the instructions as to the order of ingredients into the loaf pan. Use bread flour not all purpose. Don't discourage. This machine will make wonderful sandwich bread. I haven't tried other recipes listed in the manual yet other than the white bread but look forward to baking my first loaf of whole wheat bread soon.

  GREAT Bread Machine

  Super easy to use, clean and store. Makes minimal noise, even when kneading. Follow the directions, until you get comfortable switching up ingredients. We started adding honey, instead of sugar. Each loaf we have made, has been wonderful. Even if you eat a slice a day, the small loaf is perfect for a week. I also purchased reusable bread bags, which keep the bread fresh and does not dry the loaf out. Just don’t pre-slice, slice as you eat it. Very well worth the price. Light enough to place in pantry or a shelf, when not in use.

  Great product-So easy! Does all the hard work!

  LOVE this bread maker! I’m a novice bread maker but this is so incredibly easy! First loaf was regular white bread (2 lb), light crust; second is ‘cake’ recipe in manual but it’s really banana bread; medium darkness on crust. Both turned out AMAZING! Fun and easy to use! Bread is more dense than store bought. While I’d highly recommend (I also bought one for my friend who also loves it), some important pieces of advice:1. READ the manual (multiple times)! There is important info about types of flour, water (distilled), temp of ingredients, dry/liquid substitutions and conversions, measurements etc. Trust me, THIS is a users manual you need to read!2. Follow instructions EXACTLY. No eyeballing ingredients and MUST be in order of recipe. Especially if you’re new to baking.3. Bread tends to be more dense and may be more bland than you’re used to if you’ve only eaten store bread. Store bread is LOADED w sugar, salt, and preservatives. So don’t be discouraged w taste. After a few tries, you can add a little more sugar or salt to your tastes.4. While ok to briefly open lid in beginning (while mixing/kneading), do NOT open during leavening and rising. Could fall/collapse if you do. But you should check while mixing and flick any dough stuck to the sides w a silicone spatula.5. NO exceptions on ensuring ingredients room temperature (again, read and follow manual)6. Kneading paddle will leave hole in bottom of loaf. No way to avoid but no big deal. After done, soak pan in warm water as it tends to stick after baking of course. But only bc bread bakes it to stick. No big deal. Once soaked, loosens and pulls out. But the loaf itself pops right out after done w the non stick (PFAS FREE!) coating.7. Buttons are super sensitive. If accidentally start before all ingredients added, turn off immediately holding down start button then go back to recipe number.There’s a few more lessons but the above are basic and most important. Overall product it great! It’s not silent while mixing

  Love this bread maker!

  I absolutely love this bread maker. It is my first experience with making homemade bread.It is one of the easiest things I have ever done and I wish I would have started sooner! It is easy to use. The the ceramic pan is easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Loaves do not stick to the pan.I recommend reading the directions carefully if you are new to bread making. I have had a couple of fails when trying alternative recipes like using Oat Flour, so I need to figure out what went wrong there, but all the other loaves have come out beautifully.I have successfully made Gluten Free, regular white and Low Carb Sugar Free which were all delicious and perfect.I will probably buy another one of these for my son and daughter in law for Christmas!

  Not great bread machine, bad led screen.

  Great bread machine, bad led screen. Amazon sent me one that was supposed to be new. I could tell it had been a return by how it was packaged. The led screen was impossible to read as every thing would show up and you could not extinguish between the numbers and all the little lines you know LED screen. So they sent me another one. This one came today and you could tell it was a new one. The machine works fine. The led screen is impossible to read if you have higher cabinets and you are on the short side. I have to look at the screen from the side in order to read it. It may read correctly if I was taller I don't know. There is no backlight on this machine after the initial setting. I have a place that I can turn it sideways and set the screen from the side. Just be aware if you are short with taller cabinets you may not be able to read looking straight forward unless you are tall and can look down on it. That being said the machine works good. A little loud when it's mixing. The crust setting on medium is a little to dark for my liking so the second loaf I made I used light and it was just right. Don't use the recipes in the book they send. They are set in ml for water and tablespoon and teaspoons and cups fore everything else. Use it fore the first loaf and it was ok but I used someone on Utube I enjoy watching and used her recipe for the second loaf and it was much better. Or purchase a cook book for bread machines. With all that said I still think this is a good machine for the price. Next I'm going to try a loaf with add ins, it beeps when you are supposed to use your add ins. I used to have a bread machine and I think this one will do as good as the one I had that I paid twice the amount for. If you have not used a bread machine before this is a good one to start with, plus maybe watch some Utube videos. The thing is have fun and don't be afraid to try something new. UPDATE: the cake cycle does not work to good. The cake is brown but wet in the center. Had to

  Nontoxic easy to use bread maker!

  I love this product. I recommended to everyone. It is so easy to use and my bread has come out perfect every time. I love that. There’s really no cleanup at all.

  Fantastic! Easy to use and makes good bread

  The bread machine works wonderfully! I’ve had no issues at all and I’ve made three loaves of bread so far! It fits well in my cabinets and doesn’t take up much space. It’s not heavy at all. The only flaw is the hook can get stuck in the bowl but if you just soak it for a little bit it pops right off. The recipes that come with the book seem great I’ve loved them so far. The bread doesn’t take long to bake either only about 3 or so hours! I added a little too much yeast in the second bread picture but the flavor was still great!
