Rating: 10

Time with product: 30 Days

Strengths: Ease of use, excellent quality of finished product, no noise.

Weaknesses: Unit is large so ample counter space is needed

Summary: I totally love this bread maker! I balked at the price, but now think it does everything I wanted and more. The texture of the bread was excellent. I was able to make bread within no time after taking the unit from the box. The directions could use a quick start cheat guide or a laminated instruction sheet--but are functional as they are.

Time with product: 1 Weeks

Strengths: Easy, Standard Loaf (not 'bucket loaf'), Larger 2 lb. loaf, plus too much to list!

Weaknesses: None so far!

Summary: I love this machine! My very first loaf... too easy... set the delay timer to have fresh bread for dinner (6 hours out)... put in all the ingredients... and, at dinner time, the loaf was beautiful and delicious! I loved checking through the window here and there to see how it was looking during the process! Cleanup was a breeze!I will be making some pretzel dough next! My daughter is anxious to mix up some pizza dough and have a 'pizza night'! I also am looking forward to some fresh cuban bread, as it isn't something you can buy around here! Great machine!

Strengths: Durable and quiet.

Weaknesses: Cost

Summary: I have only had this 3 short weeks before you requested feedback. However from everything I can tell it seems to be very good quality machine. It is quiet, easy to clean and has produced a couple of good loaves of bread so far. I would love to give you feed back in a year or so after I have owned it a little longer. As of for now, I would highly recommend this to anyone.
