Comment: Don't buy this breadmaker. I followed the instructions to the letter, even bought all new ingredients, and it still does not work. I end up with a gooey loaf, that is hard as a brick. My dogs wouldn't even eat it. I tried unsucessesfully 3 times to make the white bread recipe, each time ending up with the same brick. I decided to try one last time and decided to take the dough out on the 2 rise and bake it in the oven. That bread turned out perfectly. I wrote two letters to cruisinart about my bread maker and still have not heard back from them. I definately will not buy anything from cuisinart again.

Summary: Excellent for Gluten Free 2010-08-12
Comment: I used this machine exclusively for Gluten Free bread. It has a Gluten Free setting. At first I thought machine was defective because when I pushed the Start button nothing happened. It turns out that the Gluten Free setting (and some others) start by warming the ingredients before any mixing occurs. So far I have been using Gluten Free Pantry's Favorite Sandwich Bread Mix. The 22 oz box makes a two pound loaf. Every loaf has been wonderful. One feature that I don't care for is that it keeps the bread warm for an hour after the baking cycle has completed. In theory this keeps the steam from condensing and creating a soggy crust. In practice this causes the crust to get even darker, which I don't care for. Another plus for this machine is that it is easy to get replacement pans and paddles from Cuisinart and they charge a very price.

Comment: We got this bread maker with a lot excitement but it was not heating. If you plan to buy from Abe's of Maine,be careful item may not be functional. They reimbursed but I had to pay shipping and restocking fee which costed as much as brand new.

Summary: Sporadic results 2010-08-09
Comment: It was bought as a gift for my wife, and she knows how to bake, so I don't think it's a mixing or prep issue, but it's a "crap shoot" as far as how the bread will turn out. Sometimes it comes out fine, other times it comes out under or over cooked.

Summary: This machine is terrible! 2010-07-21
Comment: Brief tale: bought the machine, made three loaves of bread with different ingredients, all did not rise, returned the machine. Bought the Panasonic, every loaf (30+ at this point) I've tried has turned out great.
Don't buy this POS. You will be sorry, unless you like hard, dense bricks for bread.
