• Buying guide

  A bread machine is a rather bulky appliance, usually either over a foot and a half tall or wide. Be sure you have enough counter space or closet space for it.

  Choose your preferred model based on the features that you think you would use. Available features include a delay timer, just kneading and rising dough cycles, machines that signal you to add extra ingredients (like nuts and raisins), a keep warm feature, crust control feature, and specialty bread cycles (like French bread).

  Be sure and check the warranty and replaceable parts information before you buy any appliance. A good warranty will save you money in the long run.
