The Sunbeam Breadmaker, model 5891, is my first bread making machine. I found it easy to use and the instructions easy to follow but I had to re-read the instructions more than once. I still keep the instructions handy when I'm making bread for the basic use and because it contains recipes that I still use. The machine allows you to make your own recipes and store bought packaged bread mixes. For a novice breadmaker it is a good machine to start out with. The display is digital and easy to read and understand. I don't like that you can't stop the machine if you forgot something without having to start over from the beginning. I don't know if this is the case with all breadmakers or not. You absolutely need to use the breadmachine yeast that comes in a jar. The packaged ones say they can be used in machines but when I used it, the dough overflowed and pushed the lid open. It was a real mess. This model allows for 3 crust color settings and 2 loaf sizes. It has 12 breadmaker settings. You can make fresh fruit jam in it. You can mix dough that you roll out and then bake in a standard oven. You can mix cake mixes in it. It can be delayed programmed to start at a specific bake time. When the bread is done it will keep it warm for one hour. Overall, I like this machine. The worst part of it is trying to get the dough mixer paddle out of the bread pan to clean it. I also had to take a non-abrasive scrubber to get all the dough off the paddle.
