It's so good its comcastic!
Pros: I like the idea of using it as a proof box. I like being able to start it up in the different stages of the baking process. For example you can mix the dough by hand, place dough inside and start it from their or if your not feeling like doing it by hand you can have the machine mix it for you. Cleaning is easy and the bread pan has a nonstick surface.
Cons: Needs about a 23" vertical clearance so the do door can be open.
Overall Review: Since I'm a professional baker, I really had my doubts about a machine making good bread but I was wrong. If you follow the directions your bread will turn out great. Just be sure not to let the yeast touch the water, sugar or salt before you start mixing otherwise the pH level of the sugar or salt will kill the yeast; The water temperature has to be just right so the yeast won't die either. Also don't open it during the proofing process or else your bread will start to fall. Baking is a science and this machine has got it right.
Not sure what to think
Pros: Looks nice.
Cons: N/A
Overall Review: On the product page under the section "Block" and "Block Compatibility" it lists: LGA 115x, 1366, Socket AM2, AM3, FM1, FM2. However, when I was reading the manual it has every thing listed except FM2. I have the FM2 Socket. I don't know if I can still use it or if I need to return and get a different model.
Pretty Solid
Pros: The Operating System boots within a blink of an eye.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Not too sure how to activate some of the features. It's not as obvious as I thought.
High Quality
Pros: $20 cheaper then Best Buy. Very high quality product.
Cons: None
Under-rated
Pros: If you like good scfi-horror survival scare than this is a game for you. The neat concept of the game is its TV series theme with each so called episodes. Granted its not your latest Resident Evil with absolute perfect polished gameplay and graphics but has a high entertainment value at the end of the day.
Cons: minor level unpolished environments.
Overall Review: The game is severely under-rated by people that demand too high of standards that look at superficial aspects instead of content.
