This breadmaker is just great. For 12 years I no longer buy bread and our 12 grandchildren eat cake with delight. This is my second machine and Riviera Bar, the first lasted 11 years and I use it almost every day. To make a bread of 500 gr I put exactly 3 minutes, a bun it takes 5 minutes .. As I live in the country if I take my car I have a 10 minute ride to the baker ... Jachète good meal and the whole family benefits. And with my new machine I go walk my dog and machine cooked rice, carefree, she takes care of everything and it is delicious!
