It is perfect for the kitchen counter as it does not take up much space. It makes perfect bread as long as you follow the recipe as written. Can bake a variety of breads. I think if you have a small family this is the perfect size. I am retired so I don’t ever have to go out and buy store made bread. I am in love with it!

Doesn’t have recipes for all kind of bread, like banana nut. But I am sure a generic recipe might work. So far this has worked every time perfectly. But making the largest 2lb loaf seem to overflow the container. I only make 1.5 lb loaf.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the size. I found a great recipe that makes fluffy, not dense bread and this is the only bread we eat. We are reducing plastic use, reducing preservatives and making bread is part of that.

This bread maker works well. I've had to adjust recipes due dietary restrictions, and was glad to find out that the dough will rise just fine without sugar. The one other bread maker I had experience with was a Panasonic machine, which was made sturdier and didn't take as long to make a loaf on the basic setting. This machine by comparison seems slightly more flimsy, but still well made, and I'll have to hope that it will last a long time if I'm careful. However, at this price point (cheaper than some other higher end models), it's not surprising. I like the top window, the interior light, and that the finished loaf falls out of the basket easily. The paddle does sometimes tend to "spin" the dough as much as knead it, so I kind of help it along by pushing it to the side a bit while it's kneading so that the paddle will dig into the dough a it more. This is probably not necessary, but I think it may help mix the ingredients a little better.
