I've only used it twice. It works well, but you must follow the recipes closely, such as when it says butter should be "room temperature." The machine is very noisy though. Which was unexpected. Lots of "whir, whir" with the mixing blade, and then the "beeping" for the various stages. I load the ingredients and then put it in another room and shut the door and check it once in a while.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’ve had trouble with getting bread yeast to raise properly either too hot water or too cool water even using a temp probe I was still unsuccessful. This machine took away that problem. You need to add warm water but the kneading, dough raising, and baking are all in one pan. You can hear the kneading paddle working and lots of beeps for attention if you choose to add seasonings into the bread or to remove the paddle so it doesn’t bake into the end of your bread for later removal. All and all I’m satisfied with machine to provide reliable tasty bread in a 2-3 hour time.

This is my first bread maker and a great value for the money. Pros: easy to use, recipes are detailed and work, instructions are okay, the bread and quick bread recipes are liked by the family. Cons: this is a simple bread maker and you cannot adjust the length of time for proofing and mixing meaning some recipes you find online may not turnout as well as you would like. The instructions have a few typos and can be a bit confusing. The instructions do not give the time in minutes for each of the programmed routines. This would be helpful if you get tired of their recipes and want to try something you find onle.

This is my second same model bread machine. It takes the physical work of making bread especially kneading that arthritic hands can’t do. Making French bread each week is so easy and cinnamon rolls are perfect. Brioche for french toast will be a special treat. The machine does everything except slice the bread and serve. Control panel easy to read and maintaining the machine is effortless.

Very loud and doesn't make gluten free bread. Won't mix a 1 1/2# loaf completely so won't bake properly. So if you don't mind 76 dBA noise and only make white bread this is for you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
