I got this vertical bread maker CBK-110 for Christmas. The recipes are limited as compared to my very old BREADMASTER horizontal bread maker. These recipes for wheat/white bread are extremely Dry. Is there an updated manual. I will have to manually check each loaf during the kneading process and probably add ¼ cup of water or more. The default Wheat/White loaf, 2 LB, comes out as a huge dense concrete brick. Not impressed at all. The horizontal bread maker works much better but takes up more room. It is worth the space.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback and we’re sorry your bread didn’t turn out as expected. Some recipes may need slight adjustments based on humidity and flour type, and adding a bit more water during kneading can help achieve a softer loaf. We do offer updated manuals and recipe tips, so please contact our Consumer Assistance team at 1-800-726-0190 for guidance and options. We appreciate you sharing your experience.

So easy to make bread daily. There is nothing like having fresh bread daily. Wish I would have ordered one years ago. Simple and so easy to use. Definitely beats all the hand kneading for sure. I so recommend this to any one who loves all breads and doughs.

Never made bread before, but remembered the aroma from my grandma's kitchen when she used to make it. This machine has made it easy for me to try different recipes . I love it.

I received this gift for Christmas and was a bit apprehensive to use it. I suffer from carpal tunnel and kneading can be difficult. I finally used it following the direction from the booklet that was provided and I was surprised how easy and delicious the bread turned out. Definitely recommend it

It is easy to make delicious homemade bread, and surprisingly easy to clean. I have been making a different loaf of bread every week and my family devours it!

This was the first bread maker I have used. The instructions are easy to follow and straight forward. What I love the most about this machine is its versatility. Being able to customize the loaf size, crust color and type of bread is invaluable.
