   Alex S – November 30, 2010

   I have owned three bread makers in the past. All from different companies.My first one made loaves that were tall and looked funny. But I really loved the bread, and the smell that came with it! I finally wore it out. I hated digging the paddle out of the bottom.My second one was a tragic mistake by the company. It had an inherent flaw – bread stuck to the pan. Even after they replaced the pan for free – the second pan was even worse. I gave up making bread … because even when I finally got the bread out of the pan, I still had to dig the paddle out of the bottom.I really loved my  Sunbeam 5891 2-Pound Programmable Breadmaker , so much so that I actually recently purchased one for my daughter. It does many things the earlier bread makers didn’t, including quickbread and cakes. It makes gluten-free bread. It has fast settings and normal settings. And it even has a jam setting! It is shaped so that loaves come out looking like loaves. Only one thing I didn’t like – I had to dig the paddle out of the bottom. (sigh)And then – Breadman came out with this wonderful selection! A Bread Maker that does NOT leave the paddle sticking in the middle! Even more, it has all of the settings I used on my Sunbeam (although it is missing the cakes, which I didn’t use) AND the automatic fruit and nut dispenser!!! So I set my Sunbeam aside, and “went for it.” The bread maker of my dreams.How does it work?The feature works by creating a one-way paddle that collapses when it is reversed. So the paddle turns and kneads while it goes in one direction. At the end of the kneading cycles, the machine reverses the turning of the paddle and it collapses into the bottom of the pan.As a result, while you have the impression of the paddle in the bottom of the loaf, the paddle is not stuck inside of the bread! So don’t think it’s perfect, it’s just much better than before.Cookbook and manual:This comes with a wonderful manual that even gives a comparison chart so that you can use whatever yeast is available in your store. All of the recipes use standard yeast, so you need to adapt them if you want to use fast-rise or other variations.The book is also very clear on how to use the various settings.Even more, the cookbook included has a wide selection of recipes for every setting. I would recommend using the included cookbook before you go out and buy any other recipe book for your machine.I did have a “tiny” problem with one of the recipes – for cinnamon raisin bread. It reversed two of the ingredient amounts – showing 1/2 cup yeast and 3/4 tsp raisins. 🙁 The mistake was easy to spot, by someone who knows a little bit about bread making.Features:One of my favorite features on this (besides not pulling the paddle out and having the automatic nut and fruit dispenser) is the fact that it will make quickbreads, and even has recipes for them. My next trip to the store will be for bananas and macadamia nuts – for banana macadamia nut bread. :-)For me, this machine was worth it – just for the two extra features. However, since it is so close to the Sunbeam, except for these two features, and the Sunbeam cost is much lower, you will need to make your own choice.Did I mention I really LOVE not having to dig the paddle out of the loaf?EDITED – I have dropped this rating down to 4 stars – When I attempted to make cinnamon raisin nut bread, the nuts got caught below the paddle and scratched the surface of the pan. Amazon immediately sent me out a replacement using overnight mail, and gave me 30 days to return the defective machine at their expense.If I encounter any future problems with the machine, I will pull the rest of the stars, but Amazon itself was very helpful in resolving the issue.Edited a year later …Aside from the first problem with the paddle, my bread maker has performed without any further problems. A+ ….Edited Feb 2012: Since writing this review, a friend turned me on to  Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking  . You do need a stone, but it is actually EASIER than the bread maker, and 😉 you definitely never have a problem with it. It takes less time and effort than using one of these. So, while I still love my machine, I do a lot more bread by hand now.Edited April 2013 – still my favorite ever breadmaker!

   If you have the space for it, this is a great machine to get. It has a horizontal loaf pan that bakes a normal looking loaf. It is easy to use and easy to clean. I love that the paddle stays in the machine until I take it out. My very first loaf turned out very good. It just keeps getting better as I tweak the recipes. It has a nice recipe book, but I also read many recipes and advice on the internet which were helpful. Our everyday bread is: 1 cup + 2 TBS water (80-90 degrees), 2 TBS olive oil, 1 1/2 TBS honey, 1 tsp salt, 2 cups bread flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 1/2 tsp instant yeast. Add to the pan in the order listed and bake on basic cycle.

   Although this bread machine is a great buy, easy to use and it works great, YOU CANNOT GET REPLACEMENT PARTS!!!! My kids lost my bread paddle as soon as I bought this machine. I did everything. I called the company, the parts place online, searched EBay, begged the company for dimensions, you name it, I did it. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. I finally made a clay mold and measured it. I found ONE universal that would potentially fit and it did. But it’s really not worth the stress time and trouble I put into it.

   The paddle does not drop or stay down as advertised. I have learned to remove in the last cycle. This was the reason I purchased. I have also noticed the cooking preset times do not cook the loaves all the way. It is almost easier to remove and bake in the oven.

   The Breadman 2 lb Professional Bread Maker works great. It is a bit on the loud side, though. But, it’s not a serious issue that would deter me from purchasing it again, if I needed to. I also don’t understand why it has a cycle of beeps at certain times. It seems to be at times when there’s no reason for it. Other than that, I’ve made bread four times so far. At this very moment I am baking a loaf of French bread. It looks gorgeous! Each loaf we’ve made has been really good, although, for some reason the previous loaves collapsed a bit while rising before the machine baked the loaf. Maybe I need to tweak the recipe (more water/less water, etc.). All in all, I’m extremely happy with the bread machine.

   I’m not disappointed. It’s a good bread machine and the price was right. I’ve literally made over 30 loaves since it’s purchase in September.

   I had a Breadman just like this one for years and was replacing it since it was making a noise and likely on it’s last leg. I liked the machine so much that I bought the same one in a newer version. However, I’m very disappointed that the machine is too hot so that it burns and dries out the bread. I called Breadman and they said to try adding additional water to the recipes so I will, but I doubt that is going to help. I know what the dough should look like from years of making bread in this machine so I know I have the right consistency. Even on the lowest amount of time, it burns on the outside when making cinnamon raisin bread. I also think that their new recipes aren’t nearly as flavorful as my old ones. I hope I can figure this out since I do like this machine in many ways and know it has the ability to make great bread.
