Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have never owned a bread machine before so this is my first experience. The directions were easy to understand and had a few recipes to start with. I've tried three bread recipes so far and all came out perfectly. Clean up is easy, no over complicated bits and pieces. It sits right on my counter. I love being able to throw the ingredients in and have warm, fresh bread in a few hours with minimal work on my part!

Great bread machine, does all the work for you. Love that I can just throw all the ingredients in, set it and walk away. It alerts me when it's finished baking!

Makes little heavy loaves and it is noisy. I don't like adding the yeast with the other ingredients . I think that is why the bread doesn't rise properly. Not happy

There are a variety of recipes in the user's manual and i chose cinnamon/raisins. I was not disappointed in the first loaf although i would probably use 1/4 c more of water to make it a little less dense. It was tasteful and the raisins mixed nicely throughout.

love the breadmachine, it has many different cycles. I use it primarily for pizza dough and it does a great job.

This machine is the best! It's very easy to use and does excelents breads.

Pull the dough out after the last kneading session in the machine and remove the paddle. Put the dough back in and let it cook. If you have a good recipe, you'll have a pretty good loaf when all is said and done.

Have made several loaves, still trying to find good recipes and how to get ones I found to turn out, but it was worth the effort. Once you get a recipe down, the bread is delicious and easy and easy to make.

I returned the Hamilton Beach Artisan Doughmaker to the store I bought it (not BestBuy) because it created too much smoke when preparing the breadmaker prior to breadmaking use, per the instructions. The plastic lining (Teflon-like surface?) must be what caused the smoke when I turned the breadmaker on to "bake" for 10 minutes. The entire house filled w/a toxic-smelling smoke, despite the kitchen exhaust fan above the breadmaker. I tried 4 more times, placing the breadmaking outside on my porch, 10 minutes each, again at "bake" setting, since I read that the smoke would stop after a couple of preparation baking times but it did not. The smoke burned the inside of my nose. The toxic, smokey smell remained in my kitchen for days. I can't imagine that the smell would permeate the bread dough as it baked. I DO NOT recommend this model or perhaps even manufacturer, espcailly if they used a material that smells (is?) toxic to breathe at baking temperatures.
