Summary: Loving my Breadman!
Comment: I received this bread machine for Christmas and after reading through most of the reviews on here, I was nervous. How could one machine produce so many conflicting opinions??
In the week that I've had the Breadman Ultimate Plus, I've made 3 wonderful loaves of bread. I used the gluten-free cycle twice and I programmed my own setting once.
The first thing I did was to run the machine empty on the suggested "rapid white" cycle with the lid open (as suggested by other reviewers) to work out the manufacturing oils. It was a little loud but I attribute that to being empty with the lid being open. So far, so good...
For my first loaf, I tried the gluten-free county white bread recipe listed in the user manual. I followed the directions exactly (liquids first, then the dry ingredients, and yeast on top), popped the pan into the machine, set it to the gluten free setting and off it went. The entire time the machine was on it seems to work perfectly. It did not make any excessive noise or "hop around on the counter" as some reviewers reported.
The gluten free setting only allows for a 1 1/2 lb loaf with medium crust. It cannot be altered, though there is an option to create 5 of your own personal settings.
I used other recipes for the other 2 loaves and they came out great as well.
I'm not sure why so many people have had problems with this machine. I can only guess maybe the pan isn't snapping into place properly, causing it to get tossed around during the knead cycles.
This is a great machine at a very reasonable price. Hopefully I will be able to say the same after I've made many more loaves of bread.
Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Machine Produces Awesome Bread!
Comment: I bought this breadmaker for my daughter as her Christmas gift from her dad and I. It replaced one that made smaller, vertical loaves. She had adapted my Mom's homemade (to die for) rye bread old fashioned recipe to a bread machine recipe, so the entire family has enjoyed this gift. The Breadman TR2500BC produces the same, great tasting loaves she used to make, but there are so many more cycle choices on this machine, the bread that comes out of this one has a much nicer, softer texture on the inside.
She loves it, since Christmas, she has averaged a loaf a day, including her awesome rye bread and some adventurous banana bread. I looked at a lot of machines and read a lot of reviews before deciding on this particular machine. While some people are not happy with theirs, there are many who feel the same as my daughter does, it is an AWESOME machine. To me, it is well worth the reasonable price and I would recommend it highly (per my daughter's comments).
This was, I believe, the first Christmas I didn't ask her what she wanted as a gift (every time she made bread throughout the year, she mentioned that she would replace her machine with a horizontal machine someday) and I absolutely, completely made the correct decision. Couldn't have been better if she had picked it out herself.
Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect Crust
Comment: This is my third bread machine and I love it. It makes wonderful bread with perfect crust. I am delighted by it. No negative experience so far.
Customer Rating: Summary: took it back
Comment: After trying 1 loaf, we took this back to the store. Maybe this particular machine was defective, but it was not level, and wiggled around on the counter so much I was afraid to leave it alone. It was very noisy and sounded like it was going to fall apart. I had a Panasonic bread machine for the last 16 years and it finally gave out, so I think I will replace it with another Panasonic. That machine was solid and well built.
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Bread Machine
Comment: This is a great bread machine. I borrowed a white bread recipe from someone online and adapted it slightly, and it is always perfect. For anyone who is discouraged with making a good loaf, try this. Put one cup of warm water, 1 pkg of yeast, and 2 tablespoons of white sugar into the machine. Let it dissolve and sit in the machine for ten minutes. Then, add 3 cups of flour, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 cup of cooking oil. I use plain, bleached flour, nothing fancy. Use the 1 1/2 # loaf cycle, white bread, and a medium crust. This will rise beautifully and give you the nicest loaf of white bread that you can imagine. We love the new bread machine!
