 Rating:  - Let's hear it for BREADMAN!!! Quick review because I want to save you time!!! (1) Done right this makes a great loaf of bread! (2) Best to make 1.5 lb loaves, have found the other sizes don't turn out the same quality breads. (3) Try light crust first on recipes. (4) If you want a perfect 1.5 lb loaf of white bread then follow the recipe given, uses warm water, and instead of 2 tbs oil instead of 1.5 tbs called for. (page 36 in my manual) (5) Great machine. Auto mix ins is a nice touch. Super Saver makes it so this ships to your home free!!! Hopefully it will still be on Super Saver Shipping when you buy!!! === STOP HERE IF YOU WANT SIMPLE ========= BELOW IS REALLY DETAILED ===== OKAY now time for ranting. My history: In the last ten years I've purchased 9 breadmachines from various manufacturers. This is the first one that I have purchased new, well my second one was new. Most of my machines I've purchased for under twenty dollars second hand. NOTE: If you do this make sure the machine goes through all the cycles, and also heats before forking over the cash. This Machine: (HISTORY) BREADPAN PROBLEMS: Bought my first one second hand at a thrift store. Yes I have had the problem that people refer to with the bread pan coming loose while making bread. I have noticed this mostly with the two lb loaves. My bread pan would actually come unclipped the bread would wack up against the side so hard. (So Bill why not slam this machine because of this obvious flaw you ask.) Well since this was a used machine I could not be confident that it was not due to the prior owner. Also I FIXED the problem. There are two things you have to do (1) Follow directions... (I'm talking about the Breadman Manual, not what I'm writing here.) I have found that moisture content has a lot to do with the floppiness of the dough. (2) Slightly bending the clips in the breadmachine oven or well that hold down the bread pan help, along with making sure that the breadpan itself is not bent. All that will keep your breadpan in place for the years to come. BREAD PADDLE PROBLEMS: Although this machine mixes great I have found that my bread paddle gets stuck in my bread or pulls out a chunk of bread when the loaf comes out of the pan. This is easily solved by removing the bread paddle before the third rise, well actually as soon as the first rise starts. When doing box cakes the directions actually say to do this, so why not when we make bread too :) At this time you can also make sure your dough is even in the pan for its last rise before cooking. JAM PROBLEM: This one gave me a heart attack. From now on I'm sticking to making bread only in this bread machine. Yes this is not an industrial machine. I think that the moisture from my jam gave my machine electronics problems. Yesterday, YES just yesterday I got frisky and decided to make jam for the first time in my life. I've read that bread machines make jam, so why not make some. Long story short after making the jam I was hungry for bread. I plugged in my Breadman TR2500BC but much to my dismay the panel LCD did not show, there was no beep, and only the light went on. Weird I thought. Well I took the control panel off, investigated the electronics. Plugged and unplugged connectors. All these efforts did not make my machine work again. Thinking that my problem may be a moisture problem I decided to let the machine dry overnight. (Once shorted a calculator in college and after drying out with a blow dryer it came back to life the next day.) Early this morning I started shopping before testing my machine. The great news is that when I plugged in my machine one more time it decided to work :) The light, lcd panel, and beep all worked. Now all I have to do is make bread. (Oh by the way I used my other Breadman the one with the one hour bread feature to cook my loaf of bread yesterday... Yes the breadpan was full before I turned on the machine.) LONG STORY EH??? I am curious if anyone else has also had this JAM PROBLEM. NO BEEP FOR MIX INS: If you have had another machine and want to jump in and make bread remember there is a compartment for storing your mix ins. This machine will not beep for mix ins as the compartment opens dropping the mix ins into your bread at the right time. Note if you have really small mix ins it may be better to just time the cycle and add manually, as I found a few sunflower seeds didn't make it to the breadpan. The seeds may have missed because of my overfilling the mix ins compartment. This compartment is a feature that I really like on the bread machine. Compartment light: I love the light that shines bright on your bread. There is a small switch to turn off the light. Don't understand why it was even put in my machine, and is only operated through a small hole in the top right of the oven compartment. (Remember I took my machine apart so that is how I know... LOL) Why mention the light. Well if your light burns out you can remove the top panel by unscrewing the three screw that hold it on and then reach in and replace the oven light. This machine is really well designed for the most part :) Okay three problems you should know about before buying. I would buy this machine again. It makes a great loaf of bread. So where is my other Breadman Ultimate Machine you ask... No not with me, I loved this machine so much I bought one for my mother last year. She loves it, but what do my parents like the most.... The bread knife that I bought them to go along with the machine.... Folks the R H. Forschner by Victorinox 10-1/4-Inch Curved Blade Bread Knife, Black Fibrox Handle is worth the money... Read the reviews... It does cut a great slice of bread... I no longer use a bread slicer with this knife... A homemade bread box, my Victorinox knife, and my Breadman TR2500BC breadmaker bread and I'm happy.... Have a great day and happy shopping. c-ya....... Bill Rating:  - Breadman TR2500BC breadmaker[[ASIN:B000BXD5WQ Breadman TR2500BC Ultimate Plus 2-Pound Stainless-Steel Convection Breadmaker Good product. First I ordered the top of line ZO.Couldn't get a loaf of bread we could eat. Terrible.Sent it back and got this one.Every loaf wonderful except my whole wheat. Zo doesn't have the features this machine has. The auto dispenser for extras is so great to have.Also to be able to choose loaf size.The Zo made every loaf too dark on light setting and well lets say disaster. I love the pause feature also. I try and get to bread if I'm here and remove mixing paddle before rise 3. Like bread with just a small hole in bottom.Machine is noisy. But I can stand the noise for such nice bread. Cost less than half the ZO. Doesn't have the quality feel of the ZO. But heck who cares about that I want bread we can eat.The cookbook has lots of recipes in it.I think for under $100 this is a good breadmaker. We love homemade bread. Probably going to gain 30 pounds this year. Rating:  - Horrible customer service; replacement parts unavailable.I just purchased this unit a couple of weeks ago and although it works okay, it is very hard to get the bread pan in and out of the machine. I usually have to have put the machine on the floor to get sufficient leverage to take the pan out or put it back in, which is very inconvenient. I have also been trying to find spare paddles since I tend to lose mine, and I have been surprised that there are no replacement parts available any where on the web. I have tried calling their customer service line but just get put on an eternal hold. Rating:  - A DudI have had this machine for 3 years. It was great for about 1.5 years and then the motor started going. It's just about dead now. I paid about $60 at walmart.
