There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This was really "plug and play". It's ready to go right out of the box. I took the advice found in the positive reviews which was (1) read the manual from start to finish before trying out the machine and (2) make sure your measurements are exact and you follow the instructions and do everything in the right order. Weigh out the ingredients first and have them sitting on the counter ready to put in the machine before you turn on the machine.
I read the manual twice (not all at once). I decided to try an easy white bread first. I went out and bought "bread machine" flour and since I couldn't find "bread machine yeast" I just got some fast-rising yeast. The recipes say "vegetable oil or butter" and since I never use vegetable oil (or any seed oil -- only olive oil) I used unsalted butter instead.
It was so simple it almost felt like cheating.
As to all the things I was fearing from the negative reviews: The machine is really quiet, compared to a blender or vitamix or food processor. It would not wake someone up in the next room let alone disturb an apartment neighbor.
The machine did not walk off my counter or fall on the floor. It has four rubber feet that keep it in place -- it moved about 2-3 inches a few times and I just pushed it back. (Intially I put it on a ribbed cotton placemat but I removed it after a while since it didn't seem necessary and it actually moved less without it.
I could tell the bread was rising nicely looking in the top window. When it started the baking stage (last stage) I could smell it in another room and went to see if anything was burning, but no, it was just some some air vents in the machine that let out some steam.
When the bread was done I let it stay in the machine for about 15 minutes. I took out the bake pan, turned it upside down over a wire rack, and the bread fell right out. Nothing stuck to the baking bucket.
This unit doesn't come with a paddle removal tool, and the paddle did stay in the bread, so I took the screw part of a corkscrew and gently probed the bottom of the bread and it came out pretty quick with just a little hole in the bottom.
I had set it on the medium crust level and the bread was browned perfectly.
It rose really nicely.
The bread was crusty on the outside and the white bread inside was not stiff or hardened.
I sliced a piece off, tasted it and thought it had a really good, rich flavor. I put some peanut butter and jelly on it and put the rest in a plastic bag and left it on the counter overnight. This morning, I sliced a piece off, and it was still tender inside. (Meaning if you put you pushed your finger into it, it would create a small dent and then bounce back, or at least not tear). I cut it in half and toasted the halves. The toast came out great, evenly browned and I a scrambled egg on it.
At dinner, a friend came over and tasted it and even though he's not a white bread kind of person, he thought it tasted really good.
One of the reasons I went with this model was because it's dishwasher safe. But the pan was still so clean after baking the bread, all I did was take a dampen a clean dish towel and wipe the inside. Nothing stuck to the inside housing of the machine so I just ran the damp cloth over it and let the top up so it would dry fully.
I know this is a long review, but I had so much angst from the 180 degree difference between the positive and negative reviews, I thought it might be helpful to another beginner like me who is struggling to make sense of the reviews. It's not that I disbelieve the negative reviewers -- I've certainly gotten appliances I thought had been previously returned or were duds for other reasons. But I am so happy with this machine so far, I really wanted to share it.
I'm going to do rye bread next.
PS If in the next 6 months, the machine falls apart or fails to perform properly or the non-stick surface comes off into the bread, I'll come back and update.
This machine is pretty consistent and I haven't had to do a thing after putting in all the ingredients.
Some things I learned so far:
- Don't mess with the machine, don't open the lid.
- Mix ingredients on counter in the pan then snap it in the machine, otherwise you can risk dropping some ingredients on the heating element and it will burn.
- Measure precisely, don't guess. Use cup and spoon measures.
- Don't put too much liquid, or pack the flour in the cup too much, or put in too much yeast. The bread machine cookbook suggested too much yeast for most recipes and one 2 lb loaf just rose up against the glass lid and the top was underbaked. Fleishmann's website suggests just 1/2 tsp of bread machine yeast per cup of flour but the bread machine cookbook suggests a bit more and the bread rises too much! It's best to bake a 1.5 lb loaf in this machine when you're first trying a recipe as it comes out with a nicer crust, and you give some margin in case the dough rises too much!
- Once you've got the hang of it, which you will pretty quickly, do experiment. I already tried cumin in one loaf with great success, and look forward to trying all kinds of nuts, seeds, flavorings.
- Keeping bread in a plastic bread box on the counter keeps it fresh, I found a transparent shoe box at the Depot that is doubling perfectly as a bread box.
I am so pleased with this machine and looking forward to trying more recipes and creating my own!

The machine did not alert me to when to add the raisins so you need to read the instructions and add them at the correct time.
Four observations:
1. Do not follow the recipes that come with it that involve the “ml” amounts. They are grossly off, especially the raisin bread recipe. The flour asked for was not enough, I needed to add more slowly during the first round of kneading. Your dough should not look like cookie dough.
2. Feel free to add more flour as it is kneading. The raisin bread recipe is too wet as written. Feel free to scrape down sides with a rubber scraper during kneading as well.
3. Remove dough and paddle directly after last kneading cycle onto a floured surface. Do this quickly so as not to cut into last rising time. This is a good time to add more flour if needed and give it a little kneading and shape. Place the loaf right back on the paddle spike. You will need to soak the bread off of the spike when cleaning but it is worth not digging the paddle out of the loaf!
4. Get a cookbook for bread machines! This comes with some basic recipes and that is it.
This machine lets you fiddle with things if you want to. I can’t wait to make more in this machine!!
Remember loafs only last three days at room temperature and ten days in a refrigerator. These loaves have NO preservatives which is great for our health, but spoil earlier than commercial loaves. Enjoy!

Ha hecho el pan básico y pastel.
La clave consiste en seguir al pie de la letra las instrucciones de uso. Para ello sólo se necesitan cucharas medidoras. Es muy fácil de usar.
Todas las hogazas salen con un agujerito abajo porque es donde está la palita que mezcla la harina y allí se queda durante todo el proceso. Se retira una vez se desmolda.
La harina que utiliza es la común, de todo uso (Selecta, en México) y levadura de sobrecito (Tradi Pan) y para pasteles harina de caja de Duncan Hines.
Las recetas que se incluyen en el recetario tienen muy buen sabor.
He dejado pasar varios meses para ver cuánto consumía de electricidad, pues la principal preocupación al utilizar este tipo de aparatos.
Es sorprendente que, a pesar de que utiliza un promedio de 3 horas en cada proceso de elaboración, mínimo una vez por semana, la factura de la electricidad NO ha subido nada notable. Es muy ahorradora esta panificadora.
Conclusión: fácil de usar, excelentes resultados y bajísimo consumo de electricidad

I bought bread machine yeast and multigrain bread flour before my bread-maker even arrived, so I thought I was all ready to go, but many of the recipes that come with the machine called for ingredients like xanathan gum, gluten and shortening, as well as some flours I have never used. Because I didn't have these things on hand, I googled a recipe for a basic multigrain bread made using only ingredients I did have. I found a simple recipe, threw all the ingredients into the machine....and let me tell you...it turned out great! I honestly thought I might need to make several attempts before getting the knack, so to speak, but just by (precisely) following the recipe instructions, my bread came out evenly baked, with a beautiful, golden brown crust and a surprisingly soft and fluffy interior. I say 'surprisingly' because I expected my multigrain flour would produce a much heavier and denser bread. Other than a small 'belly button' in the bottom of the bread (from the paddle) the loaf was picture perfect and absolutely delicious.....
Just FYI, the instructions advise centering the unit on your countertop (away from the edge), because of a possibility of the unit travelling during operation. Although my unit vibrated some, I personally did not notice that it moved much, if at all. It has rubber feet that gripped my granite counters quite well, but this is an issue to be aware of, especially if you want to use the timer to 'set it and forget it'. I also wanted to add: I was surprised by how quiet this was throughout most of it's operation. It isn't totally silent, don't get me wrong, and of course it was noisiest during the kneading cycles, but even then, the noise level was far from deafening. I was expecting it would be louder for some reason......
All in all, I am thrilled with this machine and I cannot wait to try out new recipes now!
