We have one and use it often not just for bread as there are many things you can make in it. Ours is a sunbeam and came with a great recipe booklet. It makes lovely pizza dough for the yummiest homemade pizza, the banana bread recipe is fab too and the best thing is you can put all the ingredients in it at night set the timer and when you wake in the morning you have loevly warm fresh bread with no preservatives or artificial anything! The only thing is, because it doesn't have all the preservatives and nasty things in it the bread doesn't last like commercial bread does but that's OK because you can set it to make a small loaf only. Happy baking!
