I bought this bread machine for myself for Christmas. I have used it twice so far. First loaf was a french loaf using all purpose flour and active dry yeast (as in the recipe) and i felt it was very dense. The next time i used it, I tried the Cinnamon raisin bread but used bread flour and quick yeast instead. The bread seemed much softer and lighter. Unless you have a large family, we have 4, i think the 1 lb loaf is sufficient because fresh bread the next day is just ok. The machine itself is nice. A tad bit loud but that didn't bother us. I think practice makes perfect so I'll keep at it. Good luck!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This bread make is super easy to use, clean and make bread with. I am very happy with this machine. Since the bread has little to no preservatives, I only make a fresh loaf when we have company coming over to it doesn't go bad.

It makes a really big 2lb bread! Great loaf for big families. I find the white bread recipe is better for toast than sandwiches. I suggest using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour for a lighter texture bread! It’s a very hearty bread. I need to try other recipes soon!

I purchased this bread maker to replace my aging B&D one. This new one has a lot more variety of bread making cycles than the old one. I especially like the timer that lets you know when to remove the paddle after all the kneading has completed. The bread also releases easily from the pan. I had to make some small corrections in my recipe, but the bread is actually coming out better than my old one. I still have some experimenting to do to perfect the recipe, but that will come.

The recipes that came with this machine do not work. I'm shocked at the amount of sugar and yeast......had to go back to my old machine made by someone else to get the bread to turn out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
