Best Bread Machines for Baking

i have been baking bread for over 15 years and would never have thought to get a bread machine, but i am throughly suprised and really enjoy using this unit.

i have been baking bread for over 30 years, and also ran a bread business for a couple of years, where i baked 25 loaves of bread daily and sold them wholesale to a health food store.

the smell of baking bread filling your house, with only a modicum of measuring on your part is pure magic.

nothing like waking up in the morning to the smell of fresh baking bread (timer feature allows you to set it up the night before for a delayed start).

i'll get better @ baking bread one day....

i wanted to get to try my hand at baking bread so i got this machine and the book "bread machine magic" by linda rehberg after reading reviews.

my wife grew up baking bread, and is very pleased with the results she gets from this machine.

you'll be baking bread like a pro from the first try.

i'm a little disappointed that there's no 'bake only' cycle.

there is no "bake only" or "pause" cycles, which often has me turning on the oven if i'm doing a special loaf of some sort.the whole reason i like kitchen gadgets is to keep from turning on the oven

this t-fal breadmaker has 2, 2.5, and 3 lb loaves instead of the 1, 1.5, and 2 lb loaves with most machines, so if you are baking bread for a family this machine is the one you want.

it has a bake only feature for doughs that are made outside the machine.

i have never even thought of baking bread before (other than jiffy corn bread!), but i bought this on a whim and i cannot believe how easy it is to use.

i am baking bread at least once a week for my husband and myself.

i am baking bread 2 to 4 times a week!

other reviewers mention the smell of baking bread as reason enough to bake and they have a point but fresh, warm bread with no preservatives is reason enough for me --no preservatives are necessary

i love the smell of baking bread!

i'm by no means an expert at baking bread, although for a number of years i owned a zojirushi bread machine with a vertical pan (their entry level model at the time).

i waited until the bake cycle to cancel, then manually entered the bake minutes as a bake only.
