I bought this to replace my old Black & Decker bread machine. I primarily use it to make dough (pizza, buns, french bread) that I then cook in the oven. It has been working great and the buns/pizza seem to come out fluffier than with my old machine. It was good value for the money. My only complaint is that the bread pan is smaller than my previous machine (this seems to be the case with all of the bread machines currently available at this price point) and the larger dough recipes will rise to touch the lid.
just purchased a starfrit bread machine after my old black and decker machine quit after fifteen years of using it one or two times each week. the new machine has worked great the two times i have used it so far. hoping it lasts as long as my old machine. thank you.
