“I’ve used it for 12 years and it has not failed me in any way. And it has a wealth of settings! For bread: basic, French, sweet, whole wheat, express (58 minutes) and express (80 minutes) and three settings for crust. I usually opt for the ‘simpler is better’ approach to equipment, but now I appreciate all these features/possibilities. I check it occasionally through the first 20 to 30 minutes to be sure the liquid/flour ration is working. Sometimes the stir paddle does not ‘reach’ all the mixture that clings towards the top, so I simply take a spatula and assist the process.”
