I got this for Christmas and it makes the best French bread and dough. Easy to use. Quiet even when kneading the dough. Have had two other brands before and this is the best looking one of the bunch.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this to prepare fresh homemade breads without preservatives! I use the feature to mix, knead and rise then bake in the oven to make it more ornamental! Absolutely love this machine! Took a few minutes to figure out the programming then it became so easy to use!
