Review: I used to own a Hitachi bread maker and basically ran it to destruction with nearly 700 pounds of flour. It s been a few years now without a bread machine and I had been feeling like I d like to have one again. I saw the Cuisinart CBK-200 Bread...

Pros: Loads of features/convection

Cons: Workmanship is mediocre at best

The Bottom Line: Looks great, nice baking, concerns about longevity.

Review: Our old 2 lb Black and Decker finally died after 10 years (yes 10) and 100 s of loaves. We liked the look of the Cuisinart and thought the convection feature would be interesting. We have only had it for a month (approximately 6 to 7 loaves) and so...

Pros: It functions as it should, the recipes are nice, easy to use.

Cons: None so far.

The Bottom Line: I recommend it because it looks good, works good, and is reasonable in price.

Review: ***Update 10/20/2006***

Review: Bread Machine Review Cuisanart CBK200

Cons: Sheer impossible to get good bread

The Bottom Line: Stay away from this machine.

Review: This machine is sold in europe under the brand "kenwood".
It has the very same appearance, same programs, same weak and wobbly fixation of the baking bucket.

Strangely, i had to throw away tons of strange looking bread, and whatever i...

Pros: Great bread, crispy crust, even loaves, even baking, ease of use, lots of recipes.

Review: When I went shopping for a bread machine, I passed this one up first because it is, quite frankly, ugly! Instead I bought a Black and Decker which I later had to bring back to the store because of a defect. When I brought that machine back, the only...
