Bread Makers > 2.5 lb Bread Makers

Advantages: Easy to use, low maintenance
Disadvantages: none

This is a pretty good bread maker. It makes fresh bread and is easy to use. You do not have to wait all day long on a loaf of bread either nor do you have to constantly check the oven. Just mix the ingredients in the machine and go. The cleaning is easy too. Just pop the pan out and wash it and your done! The machine is a bit large but can easily be stored under a cabinet or onto of a refridgerator. I do not think that machine was costly at all. ... Read review

Advantages: Inexpensive, reliable, can be set on a timer
Disadvantages: none

I bought this a month or so ago and I make bread about every few days. I read poor reviews about the bread flattening when using the recipes in the manual but I haven't tried those. Most of mine came from the internet and they all came out really well. I find that so far this is an excellent breadmaker for the price I paid. It was $38 with shipping from Circuit City, so I figure if I can make at least 20 loaves, it's worth it considering a loaf of ...
...I'd recommend this to anyone looking to get started making your own bread machine bread but not having the money to invest in a nicer one like Cuisinart.

Advantages: inexpensive
Disadvantages: large size

This breadmaker does a good job baking several variations of bread. You can set the loaf size, brown level, and type of bread. I was very disappointed in the basic white bread recipe that came with it, but when I found a good recipe, my bread turns out perfect every time. The real key is to check the dough at the beginning of the cycle and add more water or flour as needed. You should use breadmaker flour, which is a little more expensive than regular ...
...seasonings to create my own variations. I have also used it to make the dough for buns that I bake in the oven. It beeps at the end of each cycle, so it is easy to know when to take the dough out. Cleanup is fairly easy. The bread comes right out and it basically wipes clean. The down side is that it takes a few hours to bake a loaf of bread (depending on the size of the loaf), so you have to plan ahead. It is also very large and takes up alot of ... Read review
