Hamilton Beach 2 lb Bread Maker Machine, Artisan Dough Bread Maker with 14 Settings, White & Stainless Steel

it is easy to use. the smell of fresh bread in the house is amazing . the only problem for me is that it is hard to find bread making kits for the machine. but it is a me problem

About six months ago, I bought a Hamilton Beach bread maker and baked various types of bread. The instructions didn't include enough recipes, so I bought an Kindle e-book. Since October, we haven't bought any more bread because we can easily bake it ourselves. The resulting bread is healthy, delicious, and doesn't require much effort.

Perfect for my daughter who just makes bread for herself—it has different loaf size options which is very handy!

After extensive research I saw a video where America's Test Kitchen mentioned this machine as a work horse. And of course they went with the higher dollar one. So I bought this because it was in my budget. Well to my surprise, it makes beautiful bread.

I love this bread maker! I use it at least twice a week. I usually use the dough cycle then put my bread in loaf pans and let it rise around 1 hr or more than bake. Normally I make sandwich bread but occasionally I make pizza dough and Artisan bread which is delicious.

It works well. The only problem I ran into was when I did the two-pound loaf with bread flour, it rose too high and stuck to the lid. The trouble shooting manual tells you how to adjust the recipe, so it really shouldn't be a big deal - just lighten up on the yeast. Like most breadmakers, unless you want to spend $350 , the loaf is short in length, but very wide and tall. But, again, that's with pretty much all bread machines. It does, however, have a dough function, which mixes, kneads, and rises the bread perfectly. I use that and transfer the finished dough into a regular bread loaf pan, set the oven for 350, and bake for 30 minutes. It comes out fantastic every time. Just make sure you use bread flour.

Came damaged. The inner non-stick glaze already had a chip in it. That chip would just become bigger and bigger deposit straight into my bread as I used this machine. Unacceptable.

it does what it says, but takes a long time and no matter what setting for making bread it comes out too dark. for me, Ill just stick with making the sough and bread myself but for beginners and someone that doesnt have time to do it themselves, it would be good.

The bread maker works great, but the instructions must be translated from Chinese. Hard to understand. Only gives you symbols. It takes me 10 minutes to figure the silly thing out. Once I finally get it going, it's a good unit. Simple instructions would be very helpful

I only made 5 loaves of bread in this machine, and on the fifth loaf when I was washing out the bread pan the teflon came off. This is just unacceptable.
