Makes nice bread, but noisy. During the kneading phases, the machine makes so much thumping noise I had to move it to another room. Which is not easy in a house with an open floor plan. Very disappointing.

I read all the reviews before deciding on this bread maker. I own several Cuisinart appliances and love them as well. However this one is not a well made appliance. First of all the instruction manual seems easy but when you actually have to use one of the recipes, they do not make sense. Example: the recipe for rye bread calls for 12/3 cups of water for a 2 lb loaf. What does this even mean add additional 12 teaspoons? 12 tablespoons plus 3 cups water? There is no notes or conversion anywhere in the entire booklet. So you guess. Next you put the bread pan in the machine with ingredients and should be easy, it states to set the program to white bread 2 lb loaf and select your bread color. This was not the case. My machine would not let me press anything but the on button white bread (#1) selection. It defaults to 11/2 loaf size and light color bread. I tried unplugging it, start/stop button several time. The machine did not let me choose anything. I let it cook as is. When the beeper went off to remove the dough hook. I knew it was bad when my dough was very runny. I still gave it shot to cook. When the cycle was over, the bread was undone and I had to throw it away. I cook homemade bread several times a month and this is a major disappointment. I will be returning it if the store takes it back, or donating to Goodwill. I would include a picture but already threw the bread out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After five failed attempts at making bread on my own, my husband graciously bought me this machine. I’ve made three loaves so far, and all have been excellent! So easy, and the house smells amazing! The directions are straightforward, and I’ve had no problems whatsoever. Two loaves were made from recipes in the instructions, whole wheat with honey and the cinnamon swirl loaf. Delicious!

Love this bread machine. It is much smaller than my last one so it takes up less counter space. It doesn’t vibrate off of the counter while kneading and it is very easy to use.

So easy to use! I'll make multiple loaves per week with ease. So much better than store bought bread.
