Best Bread Machines for Bread Pan

the only reason i gave this 4 stars rather than 5 is because when making dough for noodles, i put my hand in the well (after the bread pan was removed) to clean a few crumbs out and my index finger

some difficulty removing the mixing paddle for cleaning until i discovered there was a tiny hook on the breadmaker shaft that helps retain the paddle while you remove the bread from the bread pan.

it's hard to remove the breadpan because the handle is hot.

the unit is also easy to use and all the parts seem to be good quality, including the bread pan which is made of thick metal.

i usually use it to make the dough and then i put it in my own bread pan and bake in my oven only because you don't get the hole in the bottom from the mixing paddle and because i prefer the shape of

my only issue is when it is done its a little hard to pull out the bread pan.

one thing i really like about this machine is that i never have left over flour in the corners of the bread pan, the paddle in it works really well!!

if i were to change anything, it would be to make the bread pan more elongated.

i make sure and push it way back on the counter (it does "walk" a bit) and i don't immerse the bread pan (per the instructions - not sure why).

i also scraped the unmixed flour out of the corners of the breadpan during a pause as recommended and could not remember having to do this on my much less expensive now long gone bread machines that
