Ive had two bead machines . the first from a long time ago
and the second still some time ago.
if you measure carefully , and use good quality ingredients ,
you get fresh bread that's very good , by pushing a button.
both machines were pretty much the cheapest available. .
the first s Rival , the second a sunbeam . but the names had very little to do with
the innards , they were simply some add ones from braobably the same Chinese factory .
I learned several things : measuring ingredients carefully was very important.
and two other things : if you scratch the inexpensive lining of the container
your bread would stick to the container .
and you had to carefully clean the inner rotor paddle where it connected w the rotor.
and also clean the rotor
the issue for me was the bread sticking in the container when done , eventually
not the quality of the resulting bread .
and the idea of any machine is to get the resulting bread
easily .
so , what ever current machine you end up with
keep in mind potential issues w the rotor system sticking, and the non-stick qualities of the container .
its much much nicer to have Machine Bread , than commercial store bought bread
at least as a starting point .
I got tired of keeping the rotor and container in tip top shape .
that's all. so gave up
after several years of bread baking in that manner.
