Bought it to save on sandwich bread, was 53 from best buy, originally 150 their site said. Now I just make bread every day. Then I started putting Vegemite on it and am addicted to that. Also Vegemite plus avocado toast is insanely good and cheap for the calories. Also good nutritional value.

I can speed make it in the morning with good preparation hacks. I use mason jars with all the dry ingredients ready to go in a drawer, and I use a digital scale to make adding flour fast and accurate.

I bought a random one at the thrift store a few months ago, it's some no name brand. My only requirement was finding one that didn't have any scratches on the Teflon nonstick coating on the pan.

It has been amazing, it takes literally 5mins to measure and throw the ingredients in there and push start. Took a little while to fine tune the recipe. It's nothing like baking bread but I completely stopped buying bread after getting the machine. Now I can still bake when ever i want, but its an easy way to make sure I always have bread around.

I read on r/BreadMachines that the brand really doesn't matter, just buy one for 20usd or less and get started. So far it seems to be true for me.
