I have tried two loaves - VERY hard on outside (hard to cut with knife) and bread uneatable on inside. That is using Light Option! I have bought new bread flour, new yeast. Followed instructions to the letter. Very unhappy.

This bread machine is not that good. The bread does not rise much and is very dense. I have tried several types of bread recipes and they all come out dense. The bread never has a "dome" when finished baking, it is always level. We've tried several different combinations and always the same results - dense bread. We had a Black and Decker for over 20 years and loved it. The only thing we use it for is to make dough and even sometimes that isn't that good. I can not recommend this machine.

Don't buy! I have made 2 different loaves of bread and threw both of them on the trash. They both are almost totally hollowed out. The last one had a 1/2" crust all around the bread. Is this thing getting too hot? This is not my first bread machine. Over the years I have had 2 more. I used to buy bread mixes. I can't find white bread mixes any more. Guess they quit making them.

Very disappointed in the machine. Have tried several recipes of yours and a flop every time.

I haves used this bread maker, two times a week for the last five weeks. I have followed the instructions, explicitly, and use the recipes in the that came with the bread maker. Comes out, dry, and dense. When I make a 1 1/2 pound loaf, the top center sinks in after the last rise. I even went and bought all new ingredients to ensure freshness, but this did not make a difference.
When I just use the dough cycle, it seems to work fine.
Note: I never had this problem with my previous bread maker, which was 20 years old. I only replaced it because it needed a new gasket on the bake pan and it was no longer available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
