I have had 3! Two Osters and a Breadman.
I perferred the Oster.
I loved mine...haven't made any bread in a while. I made mine from scratch and also brought the box mix. Both ways are great.
When you use it make sure you put ingredients into tub in order. yeast is always last.
I don't think the brand really matters. My first one was a 1lb loaf and the last two were 2lb loafs.
You can also make dough for pretzels, pizza and other intersting things. You will get a recipe booklet with it and they have great recipes.
Have fun!

I have a Breadman. I prefer it because it has a gluten free cycle which only kneads the dough once. I use spelt flour and even though it's not GF it can't take the extra kneading of a regular machine.

I have a Westbend & really like it. It is probably close to 20 yrs. old. Don't use it a lot but at Christmas time making dough for cinnamon rolls for a craft show. Have made several different kinds of breads in it & they have always been scrumptious.

I found mine quite "touchy"...or its me...sometimes great turnout and sometimes a lump..gave it up...I have the one that looks like a loaf of bread not the upright one. Keep thinking I will try again but...

My bread machine is a Wal-Mart cheapie. I don't know what brand. It works fine. The main feature I'd look for is a timer you can set so the bread will be done when you get home. It's nice to leave to do things and come home to a crockpot full of stew and hot bread.
