Since I've learned to use it, I use it almost everyday. Right now, you can see that I have a cheesecake cooling in it.
My late wife bought a bread machine back when they were very new, and the manual was rather sketchy (this was long enough ago you'd still get that from relatively high-profile Japanese companies). She wrote them a letter explaining that "gas squeeze-out," while accurate in its way, was not the term native English-speakers used to describe punching down the dough. She ended up being hired to re-write the manual (she'd previously done technical writing, though in the computer industry).
