Breadman Chrome Ultimate Breadmaker, TR2500BC

I am on my second Breadman machine. They both have had the same problem. When the machi ne enters it's kneading cycle, many times the force of the kneading will cause the pan to pop up. It no longer has contact with the mechanism that rotates the kneading blade and stops (althought the machine continues throught it's whole program). This has happend a few times now when I set the timer and wake up to find an unmixed loaf of half made dough in the machine.
A second problem has popped up: the dispenser does not pop open to add the seed/nuts/ raisons, etc... although I do set the Extras button correctly. It seems to 'stick' ever since I had raisons in there.

It does make good bread -when it works right-but as this is the second one, I can only assume there is a defect in the design and am going to try a different brand.

Reading the Instruction manual really takes the guess work out. No problems all great loaves of bread from reg. white to french. Love the battery backup never need to fear a power outage. And they don't mention it on the site but you can pause Anytime for anything and even take the paddle out on the last rise. Even my Gentleman wanted to learn how to use it after the first loaf came out! :)
Can't wait to use the jam setting... No trouble , great buy, Highly recommend. KT

I have bought a bread machine from Breadman before, and have had excellent results with breadmaking in my home.I have saved over buying bread in the stores. My overall favorite is rye bread,and I just bought pans to make Italian loaf breads, and the ease of the machine making dough is great. The only minus I have is the fact that it is not American made anymore. I proudly support my country,and I hope that we will see things made here again.

I read the instructions and it was easy to use. My bread taste great and I also made dough for my hamburger buns with it. Yeast dough is not always easy to make but with this bread machine it was a piece of cake!

was skeptical at first, but this machine proved to be an excellent selection. bottom crust is crispy and brown on the medium crust setting, loaf is fine grained and fairly solid and the shape is pretty close to hand shaped. 1 lb. loaf is a bit small, but 1-1/2 lb. is just right. my only negative comment is that the top crust is a bit too light and a bit too under done, but not that bad. i would recommend this machine. haven't figured out all the computer part of it yet, but basic settings are fine for now.
you'll need some counter space for this, it's a fair sized machine, but i just put it under the counter on a shelf and bring it up to use it.

This breadmaker is very pretty - When I unpacked it, all seemed to be fine - but when I picked it up to place on my shelf, I noticed a big dent in the left bottom corner where the plug is, and also the leg sticks out about an 1/8th of an inch - call me picky, but for the cost of this - I think it should have no imperfections. I didnt send it back because it has not affected the cooking process - but I think the company should be more careful when packing. Also - there was a coupon for yeast which had expired in 2007.

My only regret about buying this bread machine was not doing it sooner. We have made French Bread, Pizza dough and using an old family recipe for home made bread, made a delicious loaf that tasted just like the original. The last thing we made were the sticky cinnamon rolls which were so good. It is a little noisy during the kneading cycle, but not that bad plus the cycle isn't that long. Sure beats kneading by hand.

An excellent product; makes real loaves of very good bread. At first the settings seemed complicated, but then I left the defaults do the job perfectly.

This product is not as good as my last Breadmaker.
