Pros: Buttons easy use, easy cleanup, nice variety of breads

Cons: Loaf pan easy to upset if not in the machine

The Bottom Line: I would buy this machine again, because it met or exceeded my expectations. I loved the rosemary bread and the dill bread. Many recipes to try...

Review: I've always been happy with the quality of the Cuisinart brand, and after reviewing the features of the various bread machines, I settled on this one. The machine is easy to use, easy to clean, and produces some nice bread. The instruction manual...
