Bad points

Bad Points

  • Gluten free bread may need some experimentation.
  • Only Ok instructions, instructions based on the supplied measuring cup and spoon. May need to trial recipes.
  • Paddle can get stuck in the bread.
  • Water can become trapped in the lid when washing. If dough hits the lid and bakes on the lid will need to be soaked.
  • Handle on bread tin can get in the way when removing bread.
  • No cord storage.
  • Small viewing window, unable to view inside no light.
  • Interior can be difficult to clean, crevices can trap crumbs and ingredients.
  • If bread rises too much over the handles it can make removing the loaf difficult.
  • When selecting a setting need to go through all settings.
  • No fruit and nut dispenser need to manually add fruit seeds or nuts when indicated by the audible sound.
  • Loud audible sound when cooking completed.
  • Very noisy when mixing and kneading.
