The item shipped and was received last week; I have made several loaves since then. The machine is very easy to use. It has many more recipes than our prior unit. Also, it came with measuring cups to make baking even simpler. There is a day sleeper in the house who has not been aroused once by the bread machine...it is a very quiet design. I can't possibly think of anyway to make it better! If you make bread, this item is a must have for your kitchen.
Pros: Value for Money, quality, Fast/ Speed, easy to use, Low noise, construction, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well
Cons: none yet.

Ecstatic over my great Stollen!

Gave my first breadmaker to my sister and bought this updated version with all the settings and Artisan options I craved. All I have to say is "Don't count me out!" Arthritis made kneading difficult for this bread lover so it was a revelation when I found that a bread machine could allow me to continue making bread. Again I can have the satisfaction of creating a great loaf of sandwich or toasting bread for little effort or cost and I even used it successfully to make my delicious Christmas Stollen and holiday rolls! Using a "Breadman" once or twice a week lets you save money and have more healthful bread with no preservatives. Dispenser adds walnuts and currents to my whole wheat bread at just the right time. If you can measure a few ingredients you can make great bread in the new sideways pan that makes an impressive chunky loaf. I'm going to explore Artisan settings next with Reinhart's book in hand.
Chefscatalog had the best price on this product and with free shipping it could not be beat.
Pros: extras dispenser, artisan settings remembered, bread pan inserts more easily, very good recipe book included

I was very disappointed with this product. The craftsmanship was poor. The finish was poor and when we plugged it in and tried to make a loaf of bread it sounded like the gears were slipping, it made loud popping noises. We unplugged it, put in back in the box and returned it. I would not order another product made by this company.
Cons: Construction, Appearance

The delivery was swift and the packing was bulletproof. This is a replacement for an earlier model of the same machine which lasted for nine years of steady service. The addition of the stainless steel body is nice looking but unnecessary. That expense might have better been applied to improvement of the readability of the control panel which is even a little bit poorer than the previous model. That is the only reason I did not give five stars. However, I bought it for performance and that it does deliver.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, Value for Money, easy to use, Low noise, construction, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, durability, Functional/Useful, Long-lasting

Disappointing purchase

fromMahaffey, Pennsylvania
I made raisen bread. The fruit left the dispenser on time only it didn't mix into the dough. The raisens were in a big lump on the end of the loaf after the baking was complete. Also, the mixing paddle was buried way up into the loaf. I had to dig through the bread to find it. I made another loaf following the directions to the letter . The same thing happened. I am very disappointed with this machine.
Cons: Performance, Unreliable

I purchased the Salton breadmaker a few weeks ago, I have used it several times since and have been enjoying it so far. It does have a number of recipes but it could use more as well as more tips for converting regular recipes. Perhaps even offer another book as an add on purchase. I've only had two unsucessful runs with this machine otherwise it's been really fun.
I've made bread, caramel rolls, coffee cakes, pizza dough and it's all come out beautifully. It takes a bit of practice but it's been worth it. As some people have stated it does vibrate, however it's a small price to pay for what you get out of it.
It would be nice if the cord were a little longer as well other than that I don't have any complaints.
Pros: Performs Well, Functional/Useful
Cons: Cord Length

Great Bread maker

I have loved this bread maker (always made bread by hand, but since moving to the mountains, haven't been as successful, plus it's just too time consuming!).
The one flaw, and to me it's a big one, is that the paddle usually comes out with the bread (which they said might happen), but when you take it out, it leaves a HUGE hole in the bottom (and middle) of the bread!
Any suggestions, anyone? Otherwise, I've been making one or two loaves a week since I got it two months ago, and they've been great! We love having the smell...and taste...of homemade bread in the house again!
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, Value for Money, quality, easy to use, Low noise, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, Functional/Useful
Cons: huge hole where paddle comes out

Not the quality I expected

I purchased the Salton Breadman which seemed to be a quality machine. My first issue with it is that it is very difficult to see the display panel unless you are right over it. This is difficult to do because it is a tall machine and then add the counter height, I have to stand on a stool to be directly over it so I can see it. Now onto the real meat, er bread, of the matter. We have yet to produce a single quality loaf of bread. The loaf rises and then falls or overflows the pan. We have cut the yeast in half with some improvement. I would much rather make my bread from scratch but since I haven't had the time lately, my husband will use this as a substitute. The taste of the bread from the recipe in the book is also greatly lacking.
Cons: Digital Display

I got this bread maker last week and have already made cinnamon roll dough and hot roll dough. It does a terrific job with the dough. It incorporates all the ingredients thoroughly unlike other bread makers I have had. I can't wait to bake a loaf of bread and see how it turns out. Excellent product!

fromfall creek wi
I have had bread makers through out my life and recently wore one out and needed a replacement. This breadmaker and its recipes are the worst ever. I returned the machine last week after trying it 4 times and having a mess all 4 times. It threw dough all over inside of machine when using the ratio of water and flour the first time. The next times I adjusted the ratios and all the loaves rose beautifully and then fell when baking. It basically baked bricks of bird feed bread.
