I've had my Sunbeam 5891 bread machine for a whopping 3 weeks now but am having loads of fun trying all kinds of recipes (you can find tons at allrecipes.com). This is my first time using a bread machine and I find it to be really easy to use and, so far, pretty much foolproof if you follow the recipe exactly. I don't especially like the shape of the bread pan so have used the dough cycle more than anything and then shape as desired. Overall, I'd say this is a good model if you're just starting out. Another plus was it's low cost at Walmart.
