This bread maker is an excellent value and performs as advertised. My only complaint is the mixing paddle is too small, in my opinion, to mix all ingredients, adequately. Otherwise, it very easy to use and makes bread of various types, without further input, after ingredients are added.

We have had this bread maker for a few weeks now and have used it daily, trying all the features. Jams turns out great, dough was fluffy for baking in my oven. The nut dispenser works well although not perfect - seeds slipped through the cracks and ended up on the floor of maker next to the heating coils. So, for seeds, just add them to the rest of the ingredients. Mixing from the dispenser for raisins/nuts is ok although quite a few would end up on the outside of the loaf (about half mixed in). Breads baked beautifully, though. Only a couple loaves were difficult to remove so I just let it and sweat for a couple minutes, then flipped and shook the pan and it came out easily. The instruction manual says the pan and paddle are dishwasher safe but I've always hand washed them. I also use instant yeast (not bread machine or regular) and am very careful to put liquids first, dry next, then the yeast last on top. In Canada, where I am, we need 1/4c less flour to be sure the machine doesn't strain when kneading. Another trick is to use a thin spatula to help the machine knead if the dough is heavy. I'm also using recipes from my old, defunct, b&d machine and they work perfectly (pizza, bagel, pretzel doughs are great, sweet bread is excellent, regular bread is nice too). All in all, I highly recommend this machine although I cannot say how long it will last. I've burned through quite a few so I really have my fingers crossed with this one. Read full review
