First, I think the unit is well built with a good reputation as one of the top brands. However, two things: you can make better bread and double the loaves using a Stand Mixer designed for dough kneading. It will be cheaper as well! Next, I think the rule the company has regarding no returns after opening is unreasonable in today’s modern consumer landscape. Buy the unit from a retailer instead so you won’t have this problem.
We upgraded our Hamilton beach breadmaker for this opting for a more long loaf of bread. We were not disappointed. Much nicer cook texture and time for it.
I am really enjoying my Virturoso. I’ve been baking bread by hand for a year but this bread machine has made my life easier. I would recommend this bread machine!
I just wanted to share how happy I am with my Virtuoso Plus. It’s been a fantastic addition to my home bakery. The machine is reliable, easy to use, and consistently produces great results. From breads to specialty items, everything turns out perfect every time. It’s truly helped elevate the quality of my baking.
Works like a champ. I had the previous model for years, and loved it. It finally died of old age and exhaustion (I bake several times a week.) When I initially got the new one, I had to return it, due to mechanical issues, but they sent a replacement that is excellent. My family are happy to have bread coming out of the kitchen again. The CSR, Jesse, was eminently helpful in dealing with the return & replacement process--I couldn't have asked for better.
