I don't know what Cusinart was thinking. I hope the design engineer who designed this machine has since been fired.
I bought this exact model BRAND NEW. Used it one time, and back it went.
I have several Cusinart appliances. Both new and refurbished. But new or refurbished. This model bread machine, is one Cusinart appliance. I suggest you take a pass on. At any price. Looks great, but thats it.

I got this from Big Lots (same factory reconditioned model) for a bit less cost wise. Anyhow, the first one ... the paddle kept turning after it should have (had to unplug the machine). So, Big Lots replaced the item, and the new one works fine. This has a 90 day warranty from Cuisinart as well.

I have to alter the recipes, and it still does a great job when I use a combination of rye, potatoe, and soy flours instead of any wheat, etc. Personally, I love the looks, but I bought it ...

Rating: - Disappointed
I like the looks of the machine, but it does not bake bread well at all.
Rating: - Cuisinart CBK-200FR-2 Not what its baked up to be.
This breadmachine with crust set on medium, burned the bottom half of the crust, every time. The little window on top for selections - is hard to read or see what shows up, other than time numbers. I had to get help from another person to make sure entries were correct.I didn't like the size,shape of the bread baking pan. In all it just was not what I thought from reading the product descriptsion, and reading comparison product information. I am 67 and an experienced bread maker, and was wanting a good machine to replace being able to do the job for myself.
