Does this machine beep so that you can take the paddle out before the bread bakes?

Yes, it beeps, but only at the beginning of the second kneading so you can add herbs/spices/cheeses/nuts, etc. It does NOT beep before baking. But if you watch the clock, baking starts when sixty minutes are left, so you can cheat if you're there.

As the other reviewers stated it is for getting the paddle out. HOWEVER, if you are using the machine for dough, you can get the paddle out right after the dough is mixed. If not and the dough is allowed to "dry" it is really difficult to remove! When bread is baked, often times, the paddle just falls out with the bread removal.

No - it does not. Plus it beeps when the griddle is ready and again when the waffles are done.

No, this one does not have a beeper. But beware, the reviews of how long the coffee pot will work are dead on. Less than 6 months for me.

most waffle irons dot have a beep some you can hear a quiet click when the light turns on or off. another way to tell if the waffle is done without a sound is to put your hands near the sides a inch or so away when the steam stops coming out its done!

No it does not have the automatic timer function which would let you hear a beeping sound when the waffle is ready. The answer Tom on 2/25/13, provided is also true. What I do, since I like to hear a beeping sound, is I set my kitchen stove timer or the egg timer... I've even set up the telephone timer. Whatever is close which will work for you. The waffle maker is super easy to use and clean. Makes great thick waffles and after many uses, it is as functionable as the first time. I do not mind setting a timer at all.

It does not beep. I'll say this though......it sure gets HOT! We like the toaster.

No, it doesn't chime or beep: just the gentle sound of the bread popping up.

No when you finish baking to remove bread without making a large hole in the bottom, you reverse the paddle from the bottom and it will collapse the paddle.

I bought one of these waffle makers for my grandson. He loves it and especially likes having the removable plates that can just be put in the dishwasher. I don't think it had a beeper but it does have a light to let you know when the waffle is ready.

I wanted to amend my information in my last answer, since I used my toaster this morning and paid close attention. The answer is still "No" there is not a beep, but I always hear the toaster popping up, plus since there is a timer on the front, you know when to come back and check if you can't hear it pop up. Also, Setting #2 is 2:30 min. Setting #3 is 3:15. Setting #4 is 3:40. I didn't check Setting #1 or 5 because I don't ever use those.

There doesn't seem to be a way to turn this off and IMP it's a huge flaw. We live in a loft so there's no wall between kitchen and bedroom, and the beep is so loud it wakes us up at night. This is obviously a big problem that deters me from making bread.

Yes it does. It beeps once about every minute until you open the door. I don't know for sure but don't see a way to turn off this feature.

Yes, it beeps when you set each setting.For example, once you press a preset button like 'Toast', 'Bake' etc..., then on heat setting and then on time setting.You can rotate the knob as much as you want back and forth but when you press it to set, it beeps once.Also, it beeps few times when pre-heat is done, few minutes or a minute before cooking is done and then when it's done.And, no you cannot change noise volume.Also, it's not noise. Why anyone would consider a beep from oven or microwave NOISE is over my head.It's NOT noise but a needed feature.But, it's not an issue so don't make it a big deal like bunch of others do here.I actually like it since it tells me my settings are being set.

Yes, it does have a beeper unlike my other ricer. What we really like is that it switches to warm so if not home yet your food is kept warm for you. :)

Yes, it does. It is number 10 on the list of the menu on top. I like this bread machine and make all my bread now with it. This is my second Breadman bread maker and just really like the products.

As others have written, yes, it beeps to tell you it is ready to make waffles-about 4 minutes after you turn it on-and then again when the waffle is ready-about 3 minutes. There is basically no clean up.
