I can bake cookies, cakes and so forth, but never had much luck with breads. So when an opportunity arose and I had a choice of gifts from my employer, I chose the bread maker. I wanted to see how easy or difficult it would be to make a simple loaf. And it turned out to be amazingly simple and the resulting bread was fantastic! Just water, yeast, flour, and a bit of sugar and salt - five items - and no artificial ingredients and the result was a wonderful, light, white bread with a light crust. It's absolutely foolproof and the result tastes great. I'm very happy and intend to try rye and other bread types soon.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm happy with it so far (about 7 loaves in!). I've even used it to make a small batch of pasta dough. It kneaded it fine but I could tell it was a bit too heavy for it's design. I will continue to make small batches, for two people, though with it as it was so much better than doing it by hand.
It's my first breadmaker so I can't compare it to anything else. I like that I can make 2lb loaves with it and the price point was cheaper. I'd buy it again. I hope it lasts!
