To be fair, the price is low, and it does what you want it to to: producing decent quality bread: looking good and smelling good -- when it still sits in the machine. However, it is when you try to take it out from the casing that you have to struggle hard to "get it out": it is extremely hard to take the bread out without somehow forcing your fingers into the bread and pulling it out with force, which results in a half smashed piece of what used to be a bread. By that time, you are already frustrated and hardly have the desire to enjoy it... The unpleasant experience every time reminded me of the saying "you get what you pay for." I am in the process of looking another bread machine, and that is how I came across this site. I thought I should warn the prospective buyers of this big drawback of this particular machine.
