West Bend Bread Machine takes the work out of baking bread!
I have had my Westbend Bread Maker for several years and would not trade it for anything. It makes perfect bread, every time. I love the option of being able to select the crust color, from light to dark, as well as the bread type. I have made white bread, garlic bread, cinnamon bread, and hawaiian sweet bread in this machine and they have all come out perfect every time. The trick is to make sure the water temperature you use is at room temperature. Also, if you are using a boxed mix, pour the water in first, then add the flour. Make a small indent in the flour and add the yeast. This will help in the agitation process and allow the yeast to mix with the flour and the water at the same time. I have never had an issue with the bread sticking to the pan, and the small agitation bar is easily removed for cleaning. My bread maker makes 1.5 and 2 lb loaves. I've always made the 2 lb loaf, and have never had a problem with it. There is a timer for adding things such as cinnamon or butter and garlic, and an audible beep is heard when it is time. You can also set it for just dough so you can then use the dough for making rolls or twists, etc. This bread maker also has a delay set timer, so you can tell it to start later in the day. For medium crust, it takes about 3 hours, so you can adjust accordingly. The warmer also stays on for an hour after so you can come home to fresh baked bread!
