I need to puchase a BM for my daughter & her family (husband & 2 small kids)who are on a sailboat for the next 2 years. Power is a big concern to them so an efficiency model is key. As they will be at sea for 60+ days & be relying on the BM for long perods of time, which model would you recommend?

I have wheat intolerance and have trouble getting non-wheat bread in Spain. I have discovered spelt and used it for cakes successfully so am looking into getting a bread maker to try making my own bread. Problem is there’s not a lot of choice of available bread makers in the shops. My nearest electrical store only has 1 brand – Taurus. Have any of you heard of it and would it do for making spelt breads?!!

Comments/advise very welcome, please!

I bought a Black and Decker B6000C on sale for $50.00 . 2 year warranty, dual paddles, horizontal pan, 1 1/2, 2, and 3 lb sizes , 3 crust settings, 11 useful programs etc.
I have used it several times already( carrot bread on the go as we speak} and it works fabulous!
Let’s see how well it stands up but right now I am extremely happy with this machine.
The 3 pound loaf is HUGE. I prefer the 1 1/2 pounder as it doesn’t have time to go stale.
The white bread is great so is the French loaf and the date loaf recipes that are included in the operator’s manual that came with it. The manual is full of useful information about basic ingredients and which cycle to use.
I recommend this inexpensive machine to anybody.

i recently thought id try and make bread. my grandmother made bread when i was growing up and now that i live on my own with my husband i thought what better thing to do, then to make some bread! however, ive done many many recipes with the packets of yeast you buy in the store.but my results were.. very flat bread thats rock hard. im wondering what im doing wrong? and so i was thinking about buying a bread machine, i dont really care the cost but im just wondering. what exactly does a bread machine do? mix, knead and rise my dough? . if u could help me out id really appreciate it! thank you.

Nice article, but I think you were a little harsh in your criticism of the Panasonic YD205 and it’s start delay. I picked one up in like-new condition at a thrift store ($8.49) and all of my bread has been terrific so far. I’ve never baked bread before in my life.

After reading your article, I decided to make a basic white loaf and started the menu/timer just before I measured the ingredients. Know what? It took me 20 min to measure & put the ingredients into the pan (I weigh/measure meticulously), and 5 or 10 minutes after that the machine started and made another perfect loaf.
