yes. i am on my third or fourth machine. great bread- when all goes well. i have seen some sad disappointments. the benefits are well worth the time and effort given. mistakes i have made include using bad yeast, old flour, forgetting salt, butter, sugar, and of course, the old kill the yeast with hot water trick..
if you do start to use one, i would advise you to keep some other bread as well. it is really sad to look at a loaf of bread that is only four inches tall instead of seven. the aroma of cooking bread is smooth, intense, and very fulfilling. it is very pleasing to see granddaughters walking around eating a piece of fresh bread!
makes the best toast and french toast i have ever had, as well. just basically the old win, win deal for me. don't give up over a few mistakes.

not successfully....

yes, yes, yes...I absolutely love mine!!!

Does anyone have any experience using a breadmaking machine?
