I am also looking for a decent replacement for my breadmaker. I thought that after 15 years, breadmakers would be better than the one I have; but after buying the "Breadman TR875", I have found that not to be true(more cheaply made & less options). My old breadmaker is a REGAL... I don't even know if they make them anymore. I am hoping I can get a little bit more mileage out of it as I look for a replacement. I was looking at the Zojirushi, but I opted to note the issues there as well. I think I am going to try to buy one in person, so that I am able to return it to the store. Any suggestions would be great! I am also looking for a decent replacement for my breadmaker.

Thanks for your reply. I had a DAK, given to me in 1987. It was huge and cumbersome, and baked a round vertical loaf, but I used it to make dough for breads and pizza, and then baked them in the oven. They are not made anymore as far as I know. I was looking at the Sunbeam 5891. Is that the one that you have that leaks lubricant? I certainly don't want that!

I noticed that there are two different Breadman TR875's sold on Amazon - what's the difference between them? Does anyone know how many watts power they have? If anyone owns one, would you recommend it?

Anyone have any REAL idea about how the Panasonic SD-YD250 is? That would be my only alternative now... but, I am now weary about buying a breadmachine online now. Although Amazon always makes it right, I don't have time to be sending defective machines back.

Well, don't buy the Sunbeam 5891 either! I bought one and am returning it tomorrow! The reviews on it are terrible and I didn't listen. Big mistake! My machine stopped kneading halfway through the first cycle and never mixed again! The end product was dough in the middle, hard as a rock on the top, and the bottom of the pan was full of flour. I would certainly not recommend the Sunbeam.

I need a bread maker that bakes gluten-free loaves...has a gluten-free cycle....preferably 2 lb., horizontal ("normal") loaves. Help?

First of all, this is not a bread maker. It is a wheat grinder.Secondly, it has a 1250 watt motor. For more information, please go to their website at http://www.thewondermill.com/.

I don't have one of these bread makers, but most appliances sold here in the U.S. don't have a built-in ability to switch voltages. India's 230V and 50Hz electrical standards are identical to the UK (colonial heritage, no doubt), so try Amazon.uk or other U.K. vendors. The British get to buy better models of Panasonic bread makers anyway : The SD-RD250 looks physically almost identical to the SD-257WXC listed on the Amazon.uk site: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-SD-257WXC-Automatic-Breadmaker-Program/dp/B003DNRTDM The only difference seems to be that the SD-257WXC has more breadmaking modes (and is more expensive) It's been replaced by the Panasonic SD-2501WXC: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-SD-2501WXC-Automatic-Breadmaker-Dispenser/dp/B004RTJWMW/ref=pd_sim_kh_3

I have had mine (Cuisinart) for about a year and I love it. It makes wonderful bread and dough. I use it a lot, several times a week.

I'm so sorry you've had such bad luck. Mine works perfectly and I produce wonderful loaves of fresh bread. Try another brand and report the results. Now I'm worried!!

I have this and the Nuwave (the infomercial I think you're referring to). The Nuwave is bigger and much more powerful and cooks about 20% - 30% faster than the Sunpentown SO-2002. The Sunpentown seems better built (ie, glass bowl). FWIW, I use the Nuwave and love it. The Sunpentown is in reserve should the Nuwave break. It CAN cook multiple items but they all need to be on the same rack and you need to know cooking times for different items to know when to put them in the oven. They need to be on the same rack so as to get direct heat. If you use multiple levels the lower levels take FOREVER to cook as they don't get direct heat.

I'm having this problem. My old bread maker which was Oster also did a much better job. This Oster bread machine was smaller but made a 2 lb. loaf the price was right so I bought it. I'm using the recipe book but not having success. The first loaf of raisin bread I was pleased with. The second loaf I made the machine did not cook the loaf until it done. I don't understand it has to be the machine !

I really do not know because I bought a Bread Maker for that. I do know that it has a lot of power. Professionalsuse this machine. You can 'googol' this question. That is what my husband does before we buy anything. He looks at the reviews.

I'm in Seattle, too. I used a smaller size transformer first couple of time. But it couldn't handle 5~6 hours of use so the bread maker stopped couple time in a short time.That result a poor finish of the bread. Then I decieded to bake a bread without the transformer. The machine made beautiful breads since then and I have no problem so far until today.I have used machine for about 4 months and it is working great...... so I think if your machine couldn't get started, there must be another issue?? This is a great bread maker, hope you can start to use it soon!!

Wolfgang Puck machine has 2 paddles. I used the hell out of mine until the element went tits up and the machine had to be trashed as it kept tripping my GFI in the kitchen. Great machine while it lasted though and made some pretty great bread. Horizontal loaf also

I haven't had this issue with my bread machine. However, make sure the temp is not malfunctioning which could kill the yeast. Yeast likes about 100 degrees but not more then 120. Also, certain flours like whole-wheat or rye could cause a fallen, heavy load as will excess salt and/or cinnamon (after a period of time). Hope this helps a little....I think you may need a replacement also....after 4 loaves I would have given up too....

I purchased the Waring Pro TCO600 1500-Watt 6-Slice Convection Toaster OvenSells for $79.99 on Amazon - I bought it at Best Buy since I wanted to see it up close. Love it. It meets all my "health" requirements, and it's not that expensive.

Have you found any alternative? I just started looking into purchasing a bread maker and I'm stuck in the same quandry. I avoid non-stick at all costs, but I can't seem to find a machine without it. Please let me know if you found anything. Thanks! Lyndi

Aloha: I will be talking about the different model here a little bit ......... My friends have the Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Maker, I guess it's the old model which someone wrote, but still available in Amazon USA. The manual has a 100% whole wheat recipe at sandwich mode which is so called 1.5 lb size only. I was checking around and decided not to buy this SD-RD250 because of this whole wheat matter. Thanks for the reviewers!!

Not lose but save in energy bills and cost difference in buying the machine. The Artisan does everything the 575 watts do. The Professional 600 series is just larger in mixing size, 6 quarts vs. 5 quarts. Plus the doughhook is different. It was hard choice for me but in the end, the tilt head was what made the difference for me. I do not think you will go wrong with Artisan, but in the end it is up to you.

Good luck with this... I also, was looking for new paddle which broke after only 4 use....I'm still looking over an year later. I even contacted breadman without any luck. This machine is over price and doesn't do any better bread than a $50 bread machine.

This is the only one I have purchased and used! Have no idea what the difference is. However I can tell you, it is amazing!! I made a banana bread with it; absolutely out of this world!
