loaf we baked"i felt the breadpan itself wasn’t as sturdy and thick walled as the other brand but good enough and at a fraction of the price this is a good entry level breadmaker and the loaf we baked came out well but slightly denser mainly as with the shorter cook times the bread has less time to prove "

cool and fewer"the pan dimensions tend to produce tall loaves especially in the 2lb size which may rise slightly above the pan lip when first finished but shrink back slightly when cool and fewer slices if sliced lengthwise it was suggested elsewhere that slicing cross wise gives more 'normal' slices using the bottom and topmost slices for croutons"
