Amazon.com Product Description
Wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread with this programmable bread machine. Simply add the ingredients, choose from several options using the touch-pad controls, and it takes care of the rest. It will mix the ingredients, knead the dough, let it rise, and bake it to perfection--soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Choose from 1-, 1-1/2-, and 2-pound sizes and three crust settings--light, medium, or dark. Once the baking has completed, the machine switches to a one-hour keep-warm cycle that keeps bread warm without over-cooking. The unit's 12 program settings include basic, French, whole wheat, sweet, quick, brown, and super rapid for 1-1/2- and 2-pound loaves, plus dough, bagel dough, jam, and bake settings. Other highlights include delay start, an audible alert for adding "extras", a viewing window, an easy-to-read blue backlit LCD control panel, and a non-stick pan for effortless loaf removal and quick clean-up. Recipes come included. Attractively housed in durable stainless steel, the 490-watt bread machine measures 13-1/2 by 12-1/2 by 11-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

new at making bread
This is the first bread machine I have ever owned. Works very well. The one thing I did not know is that the machine will pause for about 20 min. after each kneeding cycle. The book does not say anything about that cycle. I thought I broke the machine. But do not worry it is suppose to pause to let the bread rest. I wish the book would have said that. But the machine works great. I would recomend getting a bread recipie book to go with your machine.

Above average - there's room for improvement
The machine is easy to program and use. Its design is durable and attractive. Being able to see it at work through the top window can be rather entertaining for children! French bread comes out great. However, the machine does not quite stand up to the challenge of making a great whole wheat bread. The recipes in the accompanying book are unnecessarily complicated, at times calling for too many ingredients. Overall, this was a good purchase.

Westbend has the best product!
My original Westbend breadmaker is 14 years old and, unfortunately, on its last leg. It has been through a lot of use and I will never waiver in my feeling that Westbend truly has a great product. Therefore, I plan on purchasing this breadmaker as my new replacement. Hands down, you won't regret the purchase of a Westbend Breadmaker! (They make wonderful gifts also!)
