We have after a long search and compare prices for this breadmaker decided in May because our other major models were simply too expensive. We wanted to have a two dough hooks, because we had heard that the sandwiches are much better with it, but had no experience with bread makers. Meanwhile, we have this thing for almost 4 weeks and use it 3-4 times a week. The bread is always good so far succeeded, the settings are easy to make and it's totally easy to use. The cleaning etc. is not very lengthy. The only shortcoming is that the LCD display is not lit and you sometimes can therefore difficult to read. Personally, I find the bread machine is not very noisy, I could also imagine to let it run overnight. The timer function we have not tried.
All in all a great device at a very good price. For me, 100% recommended.
