I actually didn't purchase this bread machine, I received mine for free through a Freecycle group. So obviously, my model came to me used and was actually a bit banged up. It's lid is no longer attached, and it looked like it spent some time on the counter being ignored. But it works and that was key. But let me tell you about how it performs and how I use mine.I don't like the way the bread baked in a bread machine comes out so I only use it to make dough (or butter if I'm feeling fancy). I use mine several times a week. It's getting a ton of use out and considering I've had it for about a year and a half, it's doing a bang up job.Will I buy another bread machine? Probably not since it takes a ton of space up on my extremely limited counter space and I can probably do exactly the same thing with a mixer which I can then use for other cooking projects. But if I were going to purchase a bread machine, I'd get another one of these. This model has impressed me.
