Breadman TR875 2-Pound Breadmaker, Stainless Steel

I want to start by saying that I am a first time bread machine owner. My girlfriend has a older Breadman bread machine they have had for years and I saw how easy it was for her and her husband to make fresh bread and I just had to have one. I researched all the bread machines and this one had great ratings on every website I visited and went perfect with my other kitchen appliances, so I ordered one; I'm so happy that I did.

I got it yesterday afternoon and I'm already making my second loaf with it. Right now I smell my potato bread and I can barely wait for it to finish and cool down so I can tear into it. Last night I prepared a bread mix from a box and that loaf was so good that its already been eaten.

This machine is so easy to use, the readout is big enough you can see it and the bread is perfect! I could not be happier with this purchase. I bought it mainly for the holiday season coming up, but I can say that we will be making bread a lot. I love the fact that you just place all your fresh ingredients in it, close the lid, push the buttons and this machine does it all for you. I also love the timer feature, so you can add your ingredients, set it to bake later, go to work, come home to fresh baked bread! No muss no fuss. I highly recommend this machine to anyone and there are many recipes on-line to try! You can't go wrong with this one.

This bread machine performed adequately except for the fact that I had to be around for the first knead to make sure the ingredients were pushed into the dough ball from the bread pan corners. It was also fairly noisy. I could clearly hear the machine kneading from my upstairs room in the opposite corner of the house. While not necessarily annoying, it would have been nicer if it was quiet. The one thing I would strongly caution anyone about is this: you WILL NOT get parts for this machine. I made the mistake of trying a Beth Hensperger bread machine recipe that called for crushed sugar cubes. In hindsight, I realized that crushed sugar cubes have extremely sharp edges that will scrape off the non-stick coating. Thus, I destroyed my bread pan. I called Breadman's customer service number and ordered a bread pan. That was FOUR months ago. I recently called them again, and while the customer service people were wonderful, they still told me the bread pan was on backorder. Probably indefinitely. I'll try to find a bread pan on ebay, but still Breadman SHOULD have parts for their machine.

Easy to use...the bread machine does all the work. Bread stays moist
days later.

I just received this bread maker as a gift and it's wonderful. The bread is soft and fresh and the machine is easy to use. I highly recommend this machine.

I'm not originally from the US and struggle with the difference in the types of bread I can get here. Especially down in good ole Memphis. So, I decided to try a breadmaker. I've had breadmakers in the past and not had much luck but this was in the gold box one day and I decided to give it a go. Especially as it had pretty good reviews. First effort was a washout as I missed the fact my yeast was very old. Second effort was really impressive. On the french bread cycle I got a crisp, light loaf that rose and cooked perfectly. Tried it many times since and it works well every time. Have to admit I was a little apprehensive at trying another machine but it paid off. Just have to try some of the other recipes now.
