I wanted to be able to have fresh bread without heating up the oven during the summer months. This bread maker is a quality product that provides a quality product on the sandwich bread program (1) and the dough program (8) using bread flour. Great pizza dough and hamburger buns. The non stick quality of the bread pan, and the kneading paddle is amazing...easy to release baked loaf and clean. I was hoping to be able to make a quality loaf of gluten free sandwich bread without the use of xanthan gum. I tried using commercial gluten free flour, my flour mix and also the recommended flour mix in the recipe book. Each resulted in an extremely dense loaf. I believe that the gluten free program is too short. Gluten free flours take longer to absorb moisture and need a longer rising time. My next attempt at GF will be with the #1 program.

Works as indicated. Delicious bread with little to no fuss. Add ingredients as indicated / liquids then dry ingredients then yeast - voila, you’ll be a baker of fresh and artisan bread. Only problems were of my own making. I forgot to insert paddle. Another time I didn’t secure the paddle in place. Overall a great investment!

Using a GF Bread Mix, got a lovely raisin loaf by adding a cup of raisins and a bit more liquid, first one out of the box the unit came in - worked like a charm ! Getting used to a vertical loaf, last machine was standard horizontal loaf.

Simple to use. Great variety of types of bread. We like that it is so compact compared to our last bread maker. We have made 3 loaves of bread already with no issues at all.

This is great. I love this bread maker. I only use it for dough and then bake in the oven. It does super. What I love is that it starts right away and doesn't make you wait for 20 minute while it heats up like some more expensive bread makers do. It get right to the job of mixing the dough. I like this because I use a spatula to make sure all the flour is out of the corners and I make sure that the consistency is correct (do I need to add extra water or flour?). My loafs turn out great. Can't say enough about this small compact perfect bread maker!
