H.K.
I'm no expert on bread machines, but I just have had one for YEARS and it has worked well for me. It's obviously older (I got it probably 8-10 years ago) but it still works (just this year I have noticed sometimes the bread doesn't come out quite as full, risen up as it should but that could be the yeast I used, I just made a loaf the other day and it was fine). Anyways it's a West Bend and makes 1 or 1 1/2 lb loaves. If I were to get a new one I would look into one that can make 2lb loaves, but I'm sticking with this one so far, it still works.
Hope that helps
