 Exceeded expectations May 8, 2005

I was put off by the number of negative reviews here but I am now convinced that these critics didn't bother to read the very user-friendly manual and recipe book that comes with this product. Here is my experience: I opened the box at 10 AM, set the machine up on my counter, read the manual, poured in the properly measured and correctly warmed ingredients 20 minutes later, turned the machine on, and did my errands while the machine kneaded, warmed, kneaded, and baked my first loaf of bread. At 3 PM, I was eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on thickly sliced fresh bread that I had just made (the loaf cost me about 45 cents in ingredients vs. 3.99$ at the market). I was very happy with the results. Clean up took less than three minutes. Tomorrow I am going to make pizza dough (for about 40 cents - the local market charges 1.99$ for pizza dough - and it has been frozen!). If you are messing this up it is probably because you aren't measuring as accurately as you need to do for bread recipes - with yeast being active, even a pinch too little or too much of an ingredient can mess up your bread. This product exceeded my expectations for ease of use. A hint: buy the following while you wait for this to be delivered - a good bread knife with serrated edges, vegetable oil, yeast packages, BREAD flour (NOT all purpose flour), measuring spoons. I bought this to have fresh bread, to save money (the machine will pay for itself in a few months), to eat bread that doesn't have a lot of chemicals in it, to be more self-sufficient. I am grinning at my success : )))

While there are a lot of good bread machines, one feature of this model made it stand out to me: It bakes one, one-and-a-half and two pound loaves equally well. I prefer to make small loaves more often so that it's always fresh. It's practical to do so with this machine because it's simple to use and easy to clean. Also, sometimes when my husband gets especially creative, one pound is plenty. I cannot recommend, for instance, augmenting a bread mix with canned tuna, and grapes are not simply "fresher than raisins". For satisfying, fresh bread just toss a package of mix into The Breadman TR888. It knows how to make good bread every time so you don't have to.

For years, I swore I'd NEVER use a machine to make "home made" bread. I loved the process of making it by hand. But times change, schedules get busy, hands get arthritic. So, I broke down and bought this. I have used it to make bread and pizza dough, whole wheat breads, quick rise breads, and even butter. Everything came out at least as good as my hand made breads and doughs ever did.
The process is extremely easy, and the instructions are clear and straight foward. The recipe book contains a nice variety of items (although other bread book recipes work well also). Cleanup is incredibly easy. Another bonus is that, unlike baking bread in the oven, the machine does not heat up the room.
Despite the warnings I've heard, I often fail to follow recipes exactly (never was good at staying within the lines!) I made some breads by doing precisely what the recipe called for; yet othertimes, I threw in some of this and some of that without measuring -- and the bread STILL came out wonderfully.
I have not yet made any of the desserts, but I would assume it would work as well with those.
The multi-grain bread I normally buy costs $4.50 a loaf (yes, I like really good quality organic ingredient breads). I've made about a dozen loaves so far, at about $2 a loaf (or less). Before long, it will have paid for itself.
Two other points:
1) Although it does make butter, after you do it once, the novelty is over. Why buy cream to make butter when you can just buy butter?
2) Be sure to try the peanut butter and honey bread recipe in the recipe book. It's REALLY sensational.

This is an excellent bread machine. I've made several different types of bread and have been very pleaseed with all. Unlike many other bread machines, the flour does not stick in the corners. You really can dump everything in at once, set it up to bake in the morning and come home from work with fresh, warm bread waiting for you. Forget the more expensive options, this is one to go with.

I know most bread makers are going to the horizontal loafs. I had one and it left a lot of material unmixed. This machine is like the originals and makes a loaf vertical. The pan is first grade cast aluminum with a non-stick inside. It has all the cycles needed and even a delayed dough cycle which most machines are missing. so far I have made Wheat, Rye, White, and dough. It has a quick cycle which I probably will never use. All work great. Nice to pre-set pizza dough for when I get home after work. It is also priced right. at $69.99
