Same cheap insides as all of these bread makers. I got this one because of the shape of the bread pan. The square/single paddle kind don't make a loaf that is usable for regular sandwiches. ( in my view ). So far, very good results for the loafs I like to make.Durability/reliability will be the question. Fingers crossedI would prefer an online .pdf copy of the recipe book, and prefer a replacement paddle, pan and heating element to be for sale on this site. Our first experience was with whole flour, and it didn't rise well (we got flat bread. Then we doubled the yeast (pleas do not do this, it was a horrible mistake) and set it to timed cook. Fortunately before it started, my wife noticed the batter had gone over the side of the pan and into the unit. Cleaning the inside of the unit was difficult, cleaning the pan and paddles is easy. I wish the heating element was easier to remove and insert. A more extensive recipe book would also be nice. It makes wonderful bread, batter and what not, and great donuts. Most recipes assume bread flour, but bread flour is expensive. We found 50 lb. bags of flour from a bakery supply house was inexpensive and satisfied our requirements. All purpose flour as sold in most stores will not work well with most recipes. Gluten is the missing ingredient in most store flour. Gluten is the protein found in wheat. All purpose flour used to have 8-11% gluten, it seems to have less now (5% from Wal-Mart). Bakery flour has about 12-14% gluten and if you buy it by the 50 lb. bag, it is under 35 cents a pound. For this bread maker unless following a spec low gluten recipe, you will need something labeled "bread flour" which usually costs $1 or more per lb. or just bakers flour which if bought at a supply store is a lot less expensive.Nothing better than warm bread and butter! Although growing up with homemade bread, this is the very first time I have ever made it! We (wife and husband) made this bread following instructions from cusimax and a recipe (Portuguese sweet bread) from a bread machine cookbook. If you take the time and do exactly what the instructions says your bread will turn out amazing filling the house with the memories of your mom or drandma baking bread. We decided to use regular flour and other normal ingredients to make this Portuguese sweet bread instead of prepackaged mix. The machine was easy to use once you thourogly read the instructions. It took about 15 minutes to get the ingredients set up and around just over 2hrs for the cusimax machine to make and bake it!. No more hand needing and proofing because the machine does its all. Best part is the taste and smell. The cusimax machine is very easy to clean and use! Lots of loaves with other recipes to be made in the future. We absolutely love this bread maker so far!We have eliminated almost all bread preservatives by making all fresh bread. So far besides bread we have done hot dog buns, hamburger buns, pizza dough, and cinnamon rolls.Perfectly working. we almost making bread everyday.Really nice bread machine. The price was right and I had a coupon, so I thought I would give it a try. Other reviewers liked it so I though, why not?! I really like it! It is easy to use, easy to clean, and it makes great bread. I have had no problems at all. The instruction book that comes with it had some of the measurements in grams and milliliters, (with some cup measurements mixed in for some ingredients) so that was a big of a challenge, but I have a scale and that helped to get accurate measurements. I have also used recipes from other brands which use standard american measurements throughout, and they have come out well, so really no problem. Happy with my purchase!No complaints!I like the size of the machine. I tend to make hearty whole grain breads. Working alot with spelt these days. All about the ancient grains. Nice bright blue display screen. Buttons are large, writing is large and easy to read. I primarily use the dough cycle and shape, rise and bake on my own. Have only had the machine about a month. So far so good.It is my 3 bread maker. I read a lot about company. I decided to try .I am very happy. My previous was Hamilton Beach. 4years I made bread. And I thought it was the best. Now I see it wasn't.I know what means good and taste bread. It is the best. I like here shape and structure of bread. I decided to write comments to help people to choose it. Who will buy it would understand understandSo far this guy has performed exactly as I hoped it would. I use it all the time and it makes my own recipes turn out the way I expect them to. Very well designed machine, not loud, very stable, and doesn't walk around the counter at all. It takes a bit of muscle to remove and re-install the pan, but that's a good thing as there is no sloppy free play in the paddle drives and seals as a result (that can lead to excessive wear quickly, or allow fluids to leak from the pan into the machine). Easy to clean. Solid machine that does exactly what it is supposed to do, and does it very well.First use was brilliant. Second time, it’s not even working! Tried to contact their customer service but no one has responded to my email. The phone number given goes to a private line at a Marriott Hotel!Unfortunately, I only had 1 month window to return to Amazon so I’m out of luck.After 5 loaves of nice bread it just stopped working.I can not find any information about this product anywhere on line. Pretty expensive 5 loaves of bread.Really think it over before you buy . NOT worth itWorked like a charm for about 15 days and then the digital controls broke completely. I think the heat from baking bread overheats the controls and they stop if you make several loaves a day. So if not all of these units are like that then i suggest you bake bread loaf after loaf to make sure your unit does not break before you can return it to amazon as the cost to ship this for repairs would be high.
