West Bend Hi-Rise Bread Maker with 12 Preset Digital Controls, 3 lb Capacity, in Gray (47413)

I love the dimensions of the bread container. Paddles stop almost perpendicular to the length so more slices don't have the hole in them. I've only made sandwich bread with it. I used my recipe. It's so great to have loafs the size of regular sandwich bread.

Great bread maker but I do wish it had suction cup or something on the bottom so it wouldn't move. Mine ended up falling off the counter and broke… No more delicious fresh bread in the morning :( I miss The warm bakery smell in the kitchen! Otherwise it works really well and I loved the real loaf shape, the delay start, and the double paddle.

My wife makes a lot of bread for neighbors and social events and parties. She uses the machine to knead dough. She keeps her slim beautiful arms but still gets to work up a storm. These pans last us about 4 years. At least half of those days are spent making dough balls, usually 3 or 4 plots of dough a day. They are great pans, they do a lot of the heavy work for you. The bearings do give out after years of service. This is the 3rd bread machine in the last 22 years, it is only two years old, we have owned. We never wore out a bread machine, they simply discontinued them and we couldn't get the pans anymore. So about 10 years of service with 3 to 4 pans per machine so far. Great product, thanks to WestBend for making it and not forgetting those of us that still love to cook.

Add ingredients as directed, pick settings, turn on, and wait for finished bread. I am in an arid climate and know my adjustments for climate differences. I have previously used a different brand for decades. I purchased this for the loaf shape and size. I love the upgrade. Easy to clean. Arrived promptly and in pristine condition. I would buy this again.

This is machine is sooo good

Excellent bread machine. Price is higher than it used to be.

I've only used it once so far but it was easy to use, the recipe easy to follow, and the bread was yummy.

There were no instructions for using the West Bend bread maker. i could not even remove the ingredient pan to wash it so it could be used. This is the 2nd one I ordered and returned within a month. The 1st one had a booklet but instructions resembled something a 4th or 5th grader wrote, made no sense. I have owned 3 previous makers before these and they each had instructions and recipes, each machine works differently. The 2nd one was returned to Walmart yesterday. I am debating ordering a 3rd one from Walmart or looking further. I want a machine now not next year. My last one that I owned just plain and simple wore out. I love homemade bread, plain and simple!

Machine works well, but lasted 3 months, or about 25 uses. Looks like the heating element is bad, seems like the quality is extremely poor. And customer service is awful, they do everything in the arsenal not to take care of the issue. Still trying, and entering our 4th week of that process. Beware, I ignored other reviews, and this company is the worse one I have ever dealt with, in the past 40 years!!

The machine came with just 1 paddle, which would have been fine, if it only used 1, but I purchased this machine specifically due to the 2 paddles... there's no option to contact the seller, so I will need to return it.
