That's the one we have.

Any complaints, concerns or other feedback? I read mostly glowing reviews on this model but I rarely trust reviews.

We have not used our bread machine in years. Instead we used a no kneed technique and cast iron bread loaf pans or the case iron dutch oven to make bread.
No kneed bread is simply bread made with a bit more liquid/water than normal. Just mix up the yeast, flour, water/beer, fat, etc and then let the dough sit for 6 or so hours. Overnight works as well. Plenty of recipes on the web.
Heat up the cast iron in the oven, and when the oven is at temperature, put the dough into the cast iron and then bake. An internal bread temperature of around 200 degrees with a nice brown crust and the bread is done.
A slice of real whole grain bread and home made soup is more than enough to fill me up. Can't wait until it cools off so I can start making bread and soup again. :licking::licking::licking:

Not a one. If this one died, I'd buy a other immediately. It also makes great pound cake and carrot cake. Recipes are in the manual. You can substitute orange zest for lemon zest for a delicious orange pound cake

That is exactly what I had expected you to say. Thank You. This machine should be perfect for us.

Year & years ago we had a bread machine. The BIG problem - I ate too much home made bread. So, one day I thought I would surprise the wife and whip up a loaf all by myself. Well - I did something wrong. The bread mixed and started to rise - it expanded out of the inner container and packed the entire machine full of rising dough. Then it went into the bake cycle and baked all this dough to a consistency of bakelite. No question - it sure did surprise the wife. End of that bread machine and we never replaced it.

My wife had a Zojirushi that worked well. She had something before that that didn't work so well but the Zojirushi never disappointed until she stopped using it for whatever reason and I think she got rid of it. She's basically just too lazy to make bread once the novelty wore off. I think that one you just dumped in the ingredients, pushed a button and it beeped when it was done. Still had that funny hole in the loaf though. Smelled pretty good when it was baking bread though.

I don't worry about loving it too much and paying the price in weight gain, but I died on Aug 4th and I do all of the cooking in our home and I don't care too much if I get fat. I have never been more than a few pounds overweight my whole life, I consider it a challenge.

Well this is something new. I've heard lately that dead people often vote democrat in elections but posting on message boards really is something new. Maybe this is taking the walking dead thing just a little too far. :laughing:

I was fortunate enough to have been sitting in the ER. Now I have two birthdays a year.

Well if you put it that way I guess my youngest brother did die twice. Both times at the same bar/restaurant. His heart just stopped and he fell over dead with the pool cue in his hands but paramedics were right there so got him started up again. I guess he was beginning to give that place a bad name. They never did figure out what was causing it but he spent some time at Duke while they tried to sort it out. They finally gave up the hunt, stuck a defibrillator in his chest and sent him on his way. A small world aside, one of the paramedics was our first cousin.

I would have stopped going to that bar.

I don't think they wanted him coming around there anymore anyway. It was getting to be bad for business.

I switched to no knead bread cooked in a castiron dutch oven after spending a week looking for a bread machine that did not use a no-stick pan for the bread to cook in (toxins released by teflon/no stick heating - we don't have any no-stick in the house.) I couldn't find anything, anywhere. We have a bread machine- but it is unused. - Shame, I like the convenience of a bread machine.

My wife has become quite a bread baker lately. She doesn't use a bread machine, only a mixer I got her last Christmas. She's been making several kinds of Filipino favorites and selling them at Church on Sunday mornings! They are in the form of small rolls, not loaves most of the time. She also makes some sort of swirled looking sweet buns with melted cheese and sugar on top.

Why would he use the bread machine to make dough if he is concerned about the no-stick surface used in the machine?

Did you ever check to see how hot that no stick surface has to get to release toxins???
NO bread machine even comes close to that level of heat!

I think, because the toxins from the teflon are only released during the baking cycle (high heat).
