Fantastic !!, December 15, 2003

This review is from: Breadman TR2828 Pro Double Loaf Breadmaker (Kitchen)
This is a bread makers dream. This is a bread maker that is high tech., yet simple to use. It has many features not avaiable on other makers, (and I've gone through two others). This machine allows you to customize the bread you want to make, various types and batters, sizes and crusts...and more.
It has a hard crust feature to replicate the European crusts. It even does bagels that come out as bought at the deli.
Sultan, the manufaturer, has another great product.
You won't be diappointed with this machine.

Good Performer, Great Customer Service, June 2, 2005
This review is from: Breadman TR2828 Pro Double Loaf Breadmaker (Kitchen)
We purchased this breadmaker several months ago. It does a fine job making bread. So far, we only used the "Basic" modes to make white and wheat varieties. The first impression is "small loaves", but each slices into 10 or 12 "normal" sized slices, so when you consider the ease of making them, it's fine. The controls are basically clear, but a little awkward, due to the need to step sequentially through the various modes for the two sides (don't overshoot, or you get to do it some more). Independant controls for each size would be easier.
A hint on removing the small paddle that ends up being baked into the bread, use a plastic picnic type knife to cut around the hole and extract the paddle (careful when hot). The plastic blade will avoid scratching the non-stick coating on the paddle (don't ask me how I learned that trick). After a few loaves, you'll become quite adept at the surgery.
What prompted me to write this review was due to an initial frustration using the machine. On two occasions, the controls "froze" and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. The first time, I unplugged the machine for several hours. The second time, I called the consumer support phone # published in the manual. After working through 3 telephone menus of "Press 1 for..." I was talking to a real person, and as a pleasant surprise, she had a real mid-western USA accent. She helped me figure out how to reset the machine (hold down the "Start/Stop" button for a few seconds.) and I was back in business.

This bread machine is great!! I bought this about 5 months ago and use it just about everyday!! I use the rapid cycle the most and have little problem with the ing. mixing. ( Sometimes I have to mix again) But great and cooks wounderful!! I have used lots of the recipes and they have turned out great! (Just as a side note I only use whole wheat flour)
