This bread machine is not worth the money. The screw that holds on the lid dropped out when I took it out of my cabinet (why would this even happen??), of course then it fell off my counter and the plastic parts of the lid broke. Even with that it still runs but It seems there is no way to get the screw back in. Why make a machine that isn't fixable? Not good Cuisinart!

The piece that holds the paddle in the pan falls out, we have replaced the pan once already and now it’s happened again, bread maker isn’t quite two years old just a piece of junk.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I started to make bread this year. A love I had lost a long time ago. Due to illness I am home and made a resolution to make bread. Kneading is tough on my joints, so my husband bought me this bread machine. Love the thought of having the machine do the hard work... Looking forward to making bread!
I would recommend this to a friend!

It’s horrible! I’m on my second one in two months and the bread never rises. It’s just a lump of ingredients and dough. There is nothing automatic whatsoever ever about this machine. My girlfriend has had to premix, add extra yeast, cream of tartar, among many other tips from others who have had the same problems in online blogs. Just a rock hard 1/3 size loaf of dense garbage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have had other bread makers and this one is nice but I want to warn others that when it's kneading wheat bread it walked right off the kitchen counter and fell on the floor breaking the lid off

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
