I love this bread machine, I mean absolutely love it. It makes having delicious homemade bread so easy. I don't have the time to always prepare fresh homemade bread and have the time to knead it once it rises nor do I have a long amount of time to wait for it, I'm a stay at home mom of 4 kids under 6 years old so I have to be very efficient with my time. Stability While in Use Very stable, I've never had any issues with it tipping over, you can tell it moves, but it doesn't shift from side to side or front to back or anything like that. Performance The performance is wonderful, it kneads the dough so nicely and then bakes it to perfection, the only thing I would change is the fact that sometime the outside gets really tough if you set it to the darkest setting but I use the medium setting most of the time and it's great. Ease of Use This bread machine is very simple to use, all you do is add your ingredients in pick what type of bread, the amount of bread, and what crust you want it to make and then just wait for it to do it's job, and that's it. The only difficult thing about it is the canister inside is sometimes hard to get out, and sometimes the dough mixer gets stuck in the bottom of the bread but it's still great! Durability Extremely durable, this thing stands up to anything you throw at it!

This bread machine works great! I make homemade bread every week. My favorite breads to make are wheat bread, white bread, cinnamon bread and sour dough bread. Since using this bread machine, I haven't had a loaf of bread turn out bad. The options and control settings are simple and straightforward which makes it easy to get use to operating the bread machine. The price of this bread machine is a bargain. I am very glad I purchased this machine. It only takes one hour or so to have a fresh loaf of bread on your dinner table. The manual that comes with this bread machine has some excellent recipes. If you are new to making homemade bread start with the manual to get recipes and tips. The bread machine itself is very quiet when in use and it doesn't take up a lot of room on my kitchen counter. This bread machine is very easy to clean so you don't have to worry if the cleaning process will be a hassle. I really like this bread machine. I highly recommend this bread machine. In my opinion its worth every penny.

i like this machine for the simple fact that it gives me bread with little effort as most breadmakers do. I had a 1 lb. machine and was sad that i couldn't make bigger loaves when i had family over. I invested in this Breadman TR520 and am very glad that i did. It can make one, one and a half, and two pound loaves which is awesome! I haven't had any real problems with this machine. It makes yummy bread, but is quite load in the process.I have owned many, many machines, and this one is louder than alot of others i have owned. I really hate the yellow panel on the front..but that's simply a cosmetic preference. if you are looking for a breadmaker and don't mind it a little loud, this one may be for you. Stability While in Use This breadman TR520 is pretty stable while in use, but you absolutely need to have it on a flat surface because this machine tends to "walk" and you obviously don't want it to crash off of the counter. Performance This machine makes good bread, and can knead even thicker breads, so the performance is good in my book. Ease of Use As long as you know how to use a machine, it is as easy as putting your ingredients in the machine in order. ; ) Durability this machine can take alot of use! i had made about 50 loaves before i gave this to my mom.

I never thought I would like having a bread machine since I love to make fresh bread but this has been a pleasant experience. I particularly like that I can have the machine do the preliminary work of mixing kneading and rising and then I can take out the dough and form it as I like. My machine also has the capacity to make smaller loaves and jam as well. I love waking up to the smell of fresh baked bread and I didn't have to stay up all night to do it. I am sold!

It's easy to use and manage settings.I like the crust color control.You can choose light.medium,or dark.Even though it doesn't make very large batches,because it's so quick and simple,I like making small batches at a time with this to have fresh bread every week.It also makes just any food item made with dough like pizza crust.I like making fresh pizza crust versus buying store bought so all of my pizza ingredients are fresh.While making bread it's fun looking inside of the viewing window of the machine to watch as the bread rises. There's a keep warm cycle once the cooking is done.It lasts an hour max.It could be longer.The shape of the bread mimics store bought bread.It's made of cheap materials.I can just feel the cheapness of them.I hope it lasts.The price itself was low,so it wouldn't be too much a loss.I will see.It has a non stick bottom and nothing has ever gotten stuck so far.It's easy and convenient overall.

When i received the product, opened the package, seriously, i was surprised to see the amazing quality of the product. It has the receipe book also, I would definitely suggest this product to others. It does its stuff very well. It rocks, it can cook different varities of breads, pizzas etc. It does not easily get that hot. even you can watch through the window on what is happening, It just makes small beeps sound. Bread machine is not too expensive and is excellent. Makes delicious bread and dough. Pros: - It has sold with good recipe book, each day we can try new one. - Cleaning is easy, just remove pan and clean it and blade also is very easy to unhook it. - It has delay switch, which works fine with all settings, , like bread, dough, etch - You can choose different colors in range. - Daily use Cons- - Bit Bulky, weighs more. - Bit louder - Display device is a minus for this product, The digits are not visible in low light, the combination of background color and foreground digits colors worsens that.

One of the best perks in using a bread machine is that I can bake bread in any weather without heating up the kitchen like an oven would. The manual that comes with the Breadman 2-pound Horizontal Bread Maker TR520 is very useful. It's very important to read the manual for important pointers such as never immersing the bread pan in water. The recipes may not be to your taste, but always follow the recommended yeast brand and amount. Any other brand will require trial and error as the Breadman recipes are formulated using only Red Star. This was a great quality buy for very good, perfectly functional machine. It had all the essential features required of a bread machine, though it didn't have some extra features, like a pause button. The only flaw was the strange decision to use white-on-yellow labeling, which makes it a bit harder to read. It's a great machine for the beginner bread baker.

I bought the Breadman Deluxe a few years ago, and thought it was a great appliance because bread making had always been something I had trouble with, and thought a machine especially meant for making it would help. The pros of this machine were that it was very easy to use. I could find directions in the manual and online, so I had a lot of different sources of information. It was also very stable. I never had to worry about it toppling over, and its thin stature made sure I could fit it on our counters easily. The bread comes out just how I want it. I've had a few burnt loaves, but that was due to my own faults, not the machine's. However, this bread maker did have a few cons. One of them was that the bread comes out oddly shaped after being baked. It is also a bit difficult to clean as there are grooves and edges that are hard to reach. I understand that these are very minor setbacks to an otherwise great bread maker, but they were what I found wrong with this appliance.

If you have ever eaten home made real bread, you know that the stuff you buy at the super market is far less inferior. Even if you buy the expensive artisan loaves that are claimed to have been baked at the store, it cannot beat the taste of homemade bread. In chain grocery stores, even bread that at baked at the store come in already-made frozen loaves. When I first got into baking my own bread, I really realized that I had been missing out on delicious, fresh bread. Bread that I make at home doesn't contain any preservatives and are much more healthy for you! This Breadman bread machine is my first machine. I got it 4 years ago, and the design is it's major downfall. It's large and clunky and takes up almost a third of my counter space. It is even larger than my 10 cup rice cooker! Though the design is lacking, the ability is not. It makes bread well enough to eat. I do have a few complaints though. The paddle inside is extremely hard to remove for cleaning, and it makes quite a bit of noise. I have since moved on to a slimmer and newer bread machine, but this Breadman bread maker will forever be remembered as my trusty first bread machine.

The directions that come with the machine are easy to read and self-explanatory... good, even for an amateur (like me;). The recipes are simple with inexpensive ingredients. The pan is easy to remove, clean and re-insert. The outside of the unit can easily be cleaned with warm, soapy water. The digital programmer is simple to use, as well. There's even a feature that will keep the bread warm until you're ready for it! It's just an all-around wonderful machine. Stability While in Use Very stable on flat, stable surface (I.e. countertops or dining room table). Just ensure that the cord is not hanging down, or loosely draping over anything, or where a child (or pet) could get to it. Performance (Discussed above) Ease of Use This machine couldn't be any easier to use. It's made by a high-quality, appliance manufacturer (Breadman), and comes prepared to use... right out of the box (o.k.. so you do have to clean the pan with warm, soapy water before your first use, but that's the extent of "work" you will have to do, upon reception of your machine, before you bake your first loaf of bread). Durability This unit is consistently durable, inside and out. The inside hardware is made of high-quality metal. The inside functions as well as any restaurant-quality machine. The lid is also very durable, while being extremely simple to open and close. The body of the unit is nice and solid, and cleans easily.
