Zellers: Black and Decker Bread Maker - $49.97

[82]

Is your old one looks like the $49.99 one from Zellers?

Too bad, the deluxe one looks much better.

Wow. After reading the reviews on these new B&D machines i'm glad i have one of the old ones from 2002. Been working flawlessly since then. It seems to have none of the flaws that these new ones do.

And the deluxe one has 2 pedals, and horizontal rather than vertical makes it look more like the bread you buy, and less area of the hard edges.

Anyone has opinion on the Cuisinart® Breadmaker?

I have the Deluxe one from CT, and it has worked very well. I have only had it since December though, but have made well over 50 loaves.

(This model was an amazing bargain as it was on sale for $49.99- $20 as a CT promo offer in giftcards.) It makes a nice bread on the light crust setting, but I don't use their recipes included. It takes awhile till you get the bread just the way you want... you have to tinkner with the recipes.

I also like making dough and either baking it myself in the oven, or freezing it for use later. I have never had any of the problems the Sears reviews have mentioned.


The only negative I can think of is the 2 paddles in the deluxe model get lodged inside the bread if it is baked in the machine. You have to pull them out after the bread has cooled, and that leaves 2 small holes on the bottom of the bread where the paddles were. Not a big deal... just don't try to pull these paddles out when the bread is hot or you WILL burn your fingers.

Anyway- can't go wrong for the sale price IMO.

So is the deluxe model better? I am confuzed.

I've the Cuisinart stainless steel model. Does as expected, haven't tried any other to compare with. No complaints, used it under 20 times so can't say I've stressed tested it. I follow the recipe, toss in the ingredience, nice hot bread in several hours.
