Title: Find out what they DON'T tell you.
Product review: All the recipes give flour amounts only in dry ounces and fractions of ounces up to SIXTEENTHS of an ounce. This requires a kitchen scale that measures sixteenths of an ounce. Scales of this precision begin at $...(if you can find them), so add this to the price of the machine. The recipes DO NOT WORK if you try to convert dry ounces to dry cup measurements. This is foolish for a machine meant to be used in the United States.The manufacturer says that the different density and coarseness of flours requires different amounts (true), so only ounces will do (bunk!). My previous machine gave different cup amounts for different kinds of flour in its recipes (e.g. "2 1/2 cups bread flour or 2 3/4 cups whole wheat") and it worked fine. Panasonic has simply been too lazy to work this out for the customer and leaves it to us to buy expensive, scarce kitchen scales.I'm returning it and buying the cheap, reliable Oster.
