Over a year later and it still works like it's brand new. I still make bread in it all the time and have never had any issues. Appearance: Upon receiving the Breadman BK2000B, the first thing I noticed was how visually striking this appliance is. It is large, glossy black in color, except for the chrome top panel. It has a good weight to it and feels quite well made. Each button on the control panel feels just as well made, with no sticking or cracking sound made when pressing them. When opening the lid, there were no latches or locks required to undo it. It simply opens with the lift of the lid. The lid has small handles on the side to make it easier to open when the appliance is hot. The electric cord wraps snugly underneath the base of the bread-maker for storage when not in use (I have included a picture of this in on the Amazon product page customer photos section). In the box: Included with this bread-maker is a single...Read more 37 of 42 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Breadman BK2000B 2-1/2-Pound Bakery Pro Bread Maker with Collapsible Kneading Paddles and Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser (Kitchen) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) 2/22 2011
Received the replacement, so far so good. I'll update if it suffers a similar problem as its predecessor did. 1/13/2011 update I finally received a call back, the rep asked me many questions to ascertain if it was fixable. It was not. As this is a brand new model, I was the only person to date that had encountered this problem, yay me! :-( The solution was to cut off the plug & mail it in a padded mailer & upon arrival they will replace the faulty unit. I certainly will put the new unit to a MUCH more rigorous baking schedule than I had the previous one, to make sure if is is going to fail, it will while still under warranty! I will continue to post my results! 1/11/2011 update Below is a copy of my follow up email to the manufacturer after waiting DAYS for the return call (an option they give you after waiting on hold twice as long as they say your wait time would be, I gave up after 20+ minutes!)...Read more 20 of 23 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Breadman BK2000B 2-1/2-Pound Bakery Pro Bread Maker with Collapsible Kneading Paddles and Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser (Kitchen) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) We have a non-wheat eater at home, and we are not alone. Many people these days have found out they are intolerant to gluten, and others eat low-carb breads while losing or maintaining weight. Standard bread machines make bread by mixing, kneading and then baking breads with some variations of timing and temperature, but generally they have not been able to handle specialized bread mixes such as gluten free. That is, until now. This machine has additional cycles for specialized breads, so now you can use gluten free mixes, gluten free flour blends, spelt, and low carb recipes. The Breadman BK2000B has just about everything a bread baker could want. There are 14 programs on board, including gluten free, low carb, sweet, whole wheat, as well as dough only, BAKE only (use commercial dough, or perhaps a dough you froze earlier) and jam, where you can heat and stir preserves. In addition, the paddles that mix the dough in the machine collapse, meaning you won't be pulling...Read more |
