Pros: Reliable. Consistent. Multiple settings. Delay timer.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: We have had this machine for several years and use it apx 3 times per week. This machine has lasted far longer than any previous machine we have used and have never (knock on wood) had to repair any components. We use it for 3 lb breads and frequently just use the dough setting so we can shape it/bake it ourselves. We make whole wheat bread w varying amounts of whole wheat flour, and, even w 100% whole wheat flour, we can still get a loaf w a respectable rise. The bread machine has a delay timer for up to 13 hours - so you can set such that the bread will finish 13 hours from when you set it. When my bread machine finally goes, I will look to replace it w the same model.
