 Good value at $50 November 24, 2007
John C. Hanson (Canada, eh!)
If you've read many breadmaker reviews like I have you'll notice many very negative reviews and many very positive reviews for the same machines. You'll also notice a tendancy for newbs to have great success and experienced users to fail dramatically. I don't understand why; though I suspect a conspiracy ;)
I am a newb bread maker, and I didn't read the other reviews on this product when I bought it on sale at ... a retail outlet for under $50. The price was great and it was the only one in the store. I knew I could return it if I wasn't happy. I wanted one as I want a better diet. I can't find any good tasting breads in stores that are also good for my blood sugars (diabetic eh). There may not be one anywhere as I now find out that all recipes have some white flour or equivalant to make them fluff up and stick together, but that's another tale.
This machine has made two loaves for me without a flaw. I made the plain white sandwich bread on medium nad a Robin Hood Oatmeal Raisin bread on light. Both were fantastic! I've written enough, so I'll point form the positives and negatives I found:
Positive:
+ does not burn. Bread was perfect.
+ shakes but moved only 1/4 of an inch on the #5 (3:40) setting, less on the sandwich (1:55) setting.
+ does not stick. Nope, it's very slippery. If you can't clean this, you should not be allowed in a kitchen.
+ LCD very visible
+ beeps loudly
+ very sturdy paddle. No issues.
Negatives:
- thin recipe book/manual. I'm skeptical of a currant bread with no currants.
- buttons very hard to read
- buttons backward from manual descriptions (pfft!)
- cover does not come off. My 2nd loaf did stick to it a bit, and cleaning was not difficult, but if a disaster happens, cleaning could be tough.
- it's a vertical bin, but that's what you pay for.
So far I'm very happy.
