Title: Makes great bread, durability yet to be proven...
Product review: I received the bread maker for Christmas. First impressions are it's bigger and heaver than expected, I guess some of that relates to the 2.5lb capacity. My initial two loaves using King Arthur White Wheat Flour didn't rise near as expected. I then figured out I was using dried buttermilk instead of dried milk, and it screwed something up. My next loaf, using the proper ingredients, turned out truly amazing and airy. Best bread I've gotten except from artisan bakeries.What really makes this product better than what I can do with my Kitchenaid Mixer, quarry tiled oven, and a loaf pan is the timer and yeast dispenser. I can set the bread maker to have a piping hot loaf ready when I wake up or just in time for dinner. To get the rising and retarding times manually would require that I be around the kitchen for a 3-4 hour period.What I like:Big LoavesYeast DispenserTimerMany bread and dough modesWhat I don't know yet:Durability of the machine
