This is a great bread machine for beginners. I’ve used it several time and finally found a great recipe online. The recipes in the book are not that great. The bread machine is efficient and does exactly what it says it will do. I did watch a few videos online on how to operate it, now I’m good. The compact bread machine is well worth the price.. No more store bought bread for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Broadly inconsistent results on rising height, using the identical recipe, and weighing ingredients in grams. I am an experienced bread machine user of nearly 30 years. The lighter weight & smaller size is nice.

This was the one Christmas gift that I asked for as many recipes that I have call for bread machines. I made garlic bread sticks in my bread machine. They turned out well. Looking forward to using my machine more.

I really like the size of the unit, which is smaller than our Cuisinart coffee maker. It's easy to use, and I like the program options printed on the lid. I've only made basic white bread (2lb loaf pic attached) & pizza dough. I'm still trying to tweek the bread recipe so it's not so dense. I will definitely make the cinnamon bread once I'm more confident. My favorite so far is the pizza dough, which I've made several times since the beginning of the year.
