Haven't read all this thread, but I'll chip in. We have an old very simple one. But I found that too Trish, the bread seems heavier.. I only like eating it when it's hot with lots of butter LOL. Never like it the next day. I also bloat more with homemade bread.. must be the yeast? dunno.

I haven't tried any other fancy things in it tho. Not even pizza dough.
