Elite Gourmet 2lb Programmable Bread Maker Machine

I've never used one before but am making several loaves a week using the pamphlet of recipes that comes with it. I do wish there were more recipes provided. It's a big tricky to try outside recipes or adapt things because I'm a beginner. Very good value for $70. The only negative is I'm gaining weight because I can't stop myself from eating bread. Hah.

Great gift for my daughter-in-law. She loves making bread with grandson

Excellent results when directions are followed exactly. Surprisingly good, even with 100% whole wheat.

I made dough in it and baked in the oven. You can't cook 100% whole wheat bread in it. That is my only disappointment.

Already put in use and performed well

Delicious bread every time.

So far so good.

This is a great budget, entry level, bread machine. Nothing fancy. It comes with a few items to use for measuring and a hook to remove the paddle when it is baked into the loaf. I've made a few successful basic loafs, mostly bread and rye flour mixture. I did not have much luck with a cinnamon raisin loaf, but I also did not use any of the measurements that were included with the instruction manual. It's light and easy to move and clean. If you want a basic bread machine to make simple loafs, it's a great deal. It's smaller and easy to store when not in use. I recommend if you can get it under $75.

doesnt make good gluten free bread

The hinge to the lid is a piece of sith and is very easy to break. There is nothing special about how it makes bread. I owned 2 HB bread makers over the years that wore out. Thought I would try something different, but I regret not sticking to the old proven brand. i think this one will wear out soon.
