Compact and looks great on my counter. Received this for Christmas and have used it 1 to 3 times a week since. White bread, French bread, focaccia, pizza dough and today bagels. My family loves having fresh bread all the time! Most bread machines are bulky and take up too much room , this one is perfect!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am disappointed in my new bread maker, a Christmas gift. The gluten free multi grain loaf has been far too dense, did not rise properly and has hard edges.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was so excited to begin baking my own bread but when I tried my bread maker i discovered that the paddle was missing and the paddle is OUT OF STOCK. I have not been able to order this part but the bread maker looks quite sleek on my counter thus the 1 star rating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Compact bread maker works like a dream! I appreciate the many programs and have tried many of them, including the gluten free. It takes up much less space on my counter than my older bread maker. I appreciate the many recipes which came with it and look forward to researching more online. The directions are clear and easy to follow.

OK for a "mindless" loaf. If you are a specialty bread maker this isn't going to give you the textures you crave. I've made 4 varieties so far. 3 were a bit dry on medium crust setting. The taste is OK. I'll be using this for I'd like to say quick bread but it's not quick, the process is still about 3 hours. I guess you can call it a no mess loaf. No need to come back and re-work. I haven't tried the timer setting yet but I think it would be nice to bake while sleeping and wake up for a fresh loaf to make French Toast for breakfast.
I would recommend this to a friend!

could not be easier. No guessing as per when dough has risen enough. Just pop all ingredients into machine, turn on, and that's it.

The machine is very good overall. I am really happy with my purchase. The price vs the end product and features make me very happy. A few points to consider. The bread is baked more in a vertical orientation. You won't get traditional loaf shape. Also the crust colour is darker than I would prefer. So I use the machine to make the dough, then I bake it my over with a bread pan.
The beeping of the machine is VERY loud. This is great if you aren't near it. But I would like to see the option to turn the beeping volume down.
Lastly, the recipes in the book a great but will require that you tweek them to your taste. I find they are light on yeast in general, so they make dense bread that doesn't rise enough.
Don't let these suggestions or critiques mislead you. I love this machine and use it almost daily.
