Pros: lots of cycles, automatic fruit and nut dispenser
Cons: lousy documentation, non-working features, unnecessarily complex programming, flimsy construction
Summary: Some time late last year the Ms (bless her pointy little head) decided that my hoary old Zojirushi bread machine was due for retirement. It was, after all, about fifteen years old and had survived three cross-country moves and thousands of loaves of ... read more

Pros: cost effective, great bread, highly programmable, time delay
Cons: sometimes overflows, doesn't always work well if you don't supervise ingredient mixing.
Summary: First of all, this machine does just about everything. You have 3 settings for just about everything ~ loaf size (1, 1.5, 2 lbs), crust (brown, neutral, light), 2-knead, 3-knead, and so forth. It makes horizontal bread loaves and is superior to the ... read more

Pros: Wakes the dead, did not explode, made bread occasionally, eliminates excess money.
Cons: Demonic, useless warranty, scares small children and animals, makes bread occasionally.
Summary: So my wife wants a breadmaker for Christmas... $100 and change at Macy's and we're eating fresh bread every day. For a month. Sounding like a crew of crack-addled gorillas with jackhammers remodeling my kitchen, it makes wonderful bread. For a month. ... read more

Pros: Easy to use.
Programs easily.
Has lasted long time.
Good company customer service
Cons: "Dough" cycle does not allow for "add-ins".
I wish the add-in bin was bigger.
Summary: I have had my TR2200C nearly four years now (anniversary date: Oct, 2006). I bake heavily -- 3-5 times a week. I have had breads that don't turn out, but that is because I needed to learn about the importance of water quantity. Water amounts are ... read more

Pros: Makes a good textured white loaf (most of the time).
Cons: Don't buy this machine if you want 100% whole grain breads.
Summary: Last year in the fall I purchased a Breadman Ultimate TR2200C bread maker so I could make healthy breads and cinnamon rolls for Christmas. At first I thought it was great for making white bread (although I had to scrape the pan to get the dough out of ... read more

Pros: Makes making your own bread trivial.
Cons: None really.
Summary: I hemmed and hawed for a while before buying this breadmaker. Now that I have it, I probably use it more than most of my other appliances (appx 1x per week). It takes me just about exactly 10 minutes to get the ingredients together, measure them out, add ... read more

Pros: Price, settings, options
Cons: LOUD as -bleep-, doesn't mix well, unpredictable
Summary: Well, I had a breadmaker (not Breadman) that I adored - and I used it daily for almost three years - when it died, I cried and buried it in the garden next to my basil. OK, so now that you know I am slightly biased, here is my experience with the ... read more

Pros: Excellent Bread, Easy to Use Machine, Reliable Results, and a Nifty Delay Cycle
Cons: No On/Off button or light
Summary: I spent two dollars on a loaf of bread from the grocery store and had one of those moments. This bread keeps forever and it taste like...nothing. At this moment, I started researching bread machines. I bought the Breadman Ultimate because it has a ... read more

Pros: Good interface many options, aggressively priced.
Cons: Not for regular use because pan is thin, cracks & starts leaking
Summary: This breadmachine has a good interface, good motor and good overall features, with one big problem. I've baked more than one hundred breads with it, probably hundreds. The real problem is that the pan, in which you pour the ingredients and bake the br ... read more

Pros: Has worked perfect every time/Can make large 2-Lb loafs

Summary: We have had ours for about 2 weeks and so far we are well pleased. We decided to get a bread machine and had read the high rating of this unit at Consumers Reports as well as the member reviews here, but funny enough it was somewhat hard to find. When I s ... read more

Pros: Excellent bread every time!
Cons: It's huge (like your butt will be after a few weeks) and noisy.
Summary: I had an old Breadman Plus that was given to me when my mother-in-law purchased a new one. I think she was trying to make me fat. The baking pan was scratched and the bread would stick after baking. Even though the bread came out mangled - it was ... read more

Cons: Dough makes some noise when it kneads.

Pros: Settings for custom recipes, changeable factory settings, pause button, non-stick pan, and price
Cons: Unpredictable extras dispenser
Summary: Most people enjoy eating homemade bread. Unfortunately for some, it is a struggle to even have any bread. My family has to avoid all foods containing gluten, which basically means no wheat, barley, rye, or oats. Of course, this eliminates practically ... read more
