Breadman TR520 Programmable Bread Maker for 1-, 1-1/2-, and 2-Pound Loaves Review
I’ve had this machine for a month now and I don’t know how I got by without one for so long. Mainly I use it for the dough cycle because the arthritis in my hands doesn’t allow me to knead my own dough anymore, but this machine does an excellent job. The dough rises beautifully and all I have to do is shape the loaf and pop it into the oven. I also have let the machine bake some loafs and I have been very pleased with the finished product.
The manual has some excellent recipes and I highly recommend the cinnamon raisin bread. I do substitute warm milk for water and I add a package of instant sugar free vanilla pudding mix for richer dough, but it’s very good. The dough cycle doesn’t have an alarm for adding fruits or nuts but I can add those to the loaf before baking. I’ve also used other yeast than the recommended Red Star and have had no problems.
Other reviewers have made comment about the white letters on a yellow background (not the wisest color combination). I haven’t found that to be a problem because the program/timer screen is digital and not hard to read.
The machine itself is quiet and doesn’t try to “walk” across the counter top but you can hear it during the kneading process. I don’t think it is very noisy at all though. It’s also very easy to clean.
All in all, I am very happy with this bread maker and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a user friendly, very good product.
