Very happy with this product. With other brands were reported breakage of the blade, not kneaded flour corners and uneven cooking. This machine is more expensive, but the quality is up: kneading is perfect (no residue at the corners), the blade does not remain in the bread (except French bread, hard crust, but it is easy to lextraire without damaging bread). Ventilated cooking is priceless, cooking is timely, consistent and always good French toast. Very useful automatic seed drawer to add grains, fruits or vegetables, etc. It is also possible to dy chocolate, provided that it is mixed with a little flour to not attach to. 1 kilo of bread with a very compact in proportion machine. Refined design, no plastic but fully chromed metal. Glass lid with touch keys, very stylish and easy to clean. The silent kneading, much less for a way microwave for example. Cooking is completely silent. Moderate consumption of electricity. Dvd and paper manual provided. The results are always perfect on the first try, even for beginners like me. Even by varying the mix of ingredients (bread with goat cheese with white cheese), or are adding olive loaf is always timely. Fully compatible (programs, assays) with the Larousse and manual editing of Kindle "Special Breadmaker" I recommend.
