Rating: 4

Time with product: 1

Strengths: looks goodlots of settings

Weaknesses: louddoesn't make good bread

Summary: I was inthe mood for something new, so I bought this to replace my panasonic breadmaker, which has a couple worn spots in the nonstick coating of the pan. rather than replace the pan, I bought this breadman. Unfortunately, it doesn't make very good bread. In addition to the bread coming out denser and not as risen as the panasonic, this machine makes some pretty annoying noises while kneading. I returned it, in the end.

Strengths: Powerful, looks stylish , yummy bread!

Weaknesses: Have not found one yet

Summary: Great buy! Will recommend! This is our first time buying breadmaker and we are very happy with our choice. Bread turns out very tasty and fresh! It looks great too, compliments our kitchen apliances. We'll hope it will keep on working as good in a year or so (hehe), but the price is great too.

Time with product: 3 Months

Strengths: Stainless steel exterior, see through lid, looks durable

Weaknesses: beeping loud, flour sticking to some part of the interior

Summary: Have used this machine for 2-3 months and so far so good. Many choices of programmed mode and see through cover large enough to know what is going on. The interior is somewhat sticky for the flours in some areas, esp. the cornor. When it finishes the program, the beeping sound is very loud. Overall I think it is a nice machine to do everyday stuff.

Strengths: looks, good bread

Weaknesses: the inner surface of the pan gets scatched easily

Summary: I bought this bread machine from amazon.com and have used it atleast 3-4 times so far in one month. I have tried the timer mode and it has worked flawlessly with fresh bread ready while we just got up from bed.The buttons on the front is not very friendly. You may have to press it hard to register. One time the bread basket didnt get locked into its base as a result, the machine made lot of noise when the timer kicked in. I later found that the basket was not fully pushed in. Although it was my fault, but I think the lock mechanism was not that firm.The inner surface of the non stick was scratched the first time we used the bread machine. I like my machine and hope to use it more frequently once I get familiar with the process of making breads.
