Simple to use. Great results. Delicious bread. I will try other recipes in the manual and also experiment with other ingredients. Eager to see how my favorite Date Nut Bread comes out using this.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Kodak camera of bread machines

Unless you enjoy buying products that are deliberately not serviceable, look elsewhere.
I set out this morning to do some deeper cleaning on this unit by unscrewing the very, very obvious (and seemingly user-serviceable!) Phillips screws holding the heating element to the interior of the "oven." Little did I know that this would result in the insulator/insert dropping into the cavity of the unit.
That light with three screws? Good luck when the glass drops through to the cavity of the unit when you unscrew it.
"OK, annoying - no problem! Let me just open this thing up and get these reattached," you might say.
Well, this thing is designed to be as hostile as possible to repair. 99% of people attempting to disassemble this unit will break it. It is essentially a disposable bread machine. Once anything needs to be replaced, it's essentially garbage. Plastic tabs holding the metal housing to the plastic bottom? Good luck - they're brittle and reversed, designed to be one-way. There's pretty much no way to access the interior of this unit without breaking something. I've given up and am going to do what I should've in the first place - buy a bread machine someone used once or twice and then donated to a resale shop.
This thing is utter junk and the reason I will avoid any and all Cuisinart products going forward. Y'all should be ashamed for making these deliberately difficult to fix.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought my bread maker a few weeks ago and I’m very pleased with it. It’s easy to use, lots of different bread options, compact and very quiet. My bread turns out great every time.

I bought the compact bread maker, and am happy with the size. It takes up less space than my last model.

Have not had this market for very long but am very pleased with the bread it has made thus far. Can make various types of bread down to pizza dough. Reasonably priced. Seems durable and well built, hope it lasts the rest of time and use.
I would recommend this to a friend!
