I always wanted a bread maker because honestly, bread has became expensive in store and you never know what is inside of them because packages don't really tell you all of the nutritional facts and making it is healthier because you know what you put in it.
This is perfect for snow and ice storms because people always buy up the bread and a lot of people go without.
Another thing is that you can make all different kinds of breads and not just one kind. The machine just mead your dough and then you put whatever ingredient you want and then let it finish baking it and I love that it is kind of a set it and forget it kind of thing unless you want to add things to it.
Some makers make different lbs of bread so you have to look at them before you buy them to make sure it is enough bread for you and your family.
