This machine is significantly bigger than the one she uses in China and doesn't have a window but she was still excited to use this one in Los Angeles last night but it was a pretty big fail.  When I arrived at her house hoping to try the fresh baked bread, the house wreaked of smoke.  She said she thought the bread was burning so she unplugged the machine mid-cycle.  She opened the lid to check and the bread was fine so she closed the lid and waited for the bread to finish the cycle but I guess you cannot continue mid-cycle.  So when we opened the lid 40 minutes later, the bread was only half-cooked and basically deflated as soon as we dumped it out of the pan.  When we took out the pan, we found the culprit to the burning smell, during the mixing process a piece of dough must have flung out and got stuck to the heating grate and caught on fire.

Thinking that was anomaly, we tried another batch.  We noticed the burning smell again but left the bread to finish baking.  The bread came out fine but when we took out the bread pan there was another burnt piece of dough inside.  So basically this is kind of a big fire hazard.

Another thing is that this machine is super loud.  As another reviewer stated, it does sound like there's a couple hamsters or guinea pigs inside fighting or at the very least, running very rapidly on a wheel.

I'm including a video of the loud noise the machine makes and a picture of the two burnt spots.

Unfortunately, we will be exchanging this product for a different machine.
