I ordered it as a gift. Adept homemade bread, I myself has MOULINEX machine after having a basic machine of another brand. I am delighted by this machine and I was not planning to buy another brand. I was right the first bread delighted my mother 83 years. Easy to use. Note the programming panel is much more readable than mine (older); of course we should think about removing the plastic cover that darkens! Easy to use. French bread 750 gr 2:45. The noise during kneading is relatively quiet compared to the oldest mine. One can argue in the same room or watch TV without mounting sound.
