Rating: - Works fine for >1yr...but...
Well, I've been reading some of the reviews. Guess I'd throw in my 2c. I've had mine for about 14months. I make around 1 loaf of stone ground whole wheat bread per week. Fwiw, this is my second machine (had a DAK for the first). For the most part the loaves come out very well and of consistant texture. I have two complaints: first the tabs that hold the pan down bent, so it's not all that secure. Some users have had trouble with the pan coming out of the the motor. I haven't had that problem, but can see it happening (I make only 2-lb loafs- maybe the extra weight holds it down[?]). Secondly, and ... Read More
Rating: - Good for less than a month!
I thought this was a great machine. I made several loaves of very good bread. But my second loaf of french bread(using the dough cycle only)the machine wasn't quite strong enough to get to the end of the cycle. Since then, even with the regular loaves of bread, the machine just doesn't have the power to get through the entire cycle.I waited a couple weeks before attempting the dough cycle for french bread again and the machine cut off 15 min before cycle was over. I am assuming the motor just isn't powerful enough. You could smell the motor running hot! Enough already! I will be shopping around for ... Read More
Rating: - New Breadmaker and a new Baker
I bought this breadmaker a year ago and found that it made the bread okay but I had to try to turn it on several times because the menu was so complicated. Also, the mixing function on my breadmaker does not work. I have to start the churning process myself to make sure it works. I wish I had better success with it because I wanted to make my own bread each week with my new machine but as it is I have only used it a couple of times because it does not work.

Don't go there! I got this machine for Christmas. Made about 10 loaves very well. Then the bread pan would not stay put. It wouild ride up on the mixes and the punch down, so no mixing would take palce and the required constant manual holding of the bread pan in place. Zip in the instruction book on this. I called, emailed and write wrote twice only to get from letter that they were going to send a new breadpan, but never did. That was two months ago. I am not an engineer, but the design to hold the breadpan in place looks off. The metal clips will keep the pan from lateral movement, but there ... Read More
Rating: - Up to 1 year to replace!
This machine has a computer problem. Sometimes it starts properly and other times it doesn't. It also occassionaly skips a step in the baking process. Also, the breadpan is held in the machine by thin metal clips which bend easily, making it hard to properly position the pan. We followed the manufacturer's proceedure for replacement under warranty. That was over 4 months ago. When I called to find out where the replacement was, I was told that they are back-ordered and that, per their warranty, they have up to 1 year to replace the machine! I've replaced this with a Sunbeam model 5891 for less than half ... Read More
