Anyone who is unsure of getting a bread machine...here's an interesting hint: even a partially broken machine(that doesn't bake right--they can go bad this way)can be still be used for dough. And dough can make donuts, pizza, buns, french bread, etc. Did you notice I said pizza? All you want, all the time, day or night, use left-overs. Add fish and pineapple, asparagus and broccoli. You one of those don't like sauce? Use slices of roma tomatoes, or alfredo sauce. PIZZA.
Another plus to ownership: no preservatives, no gluten, no whatever you don't like. Add what you like--fruits, nuts, seeds, spices, flavors, different flours. There are scads of recipes to try. Some people claim to making jams in the device--who knows--go nuts(that's nut bread).
