Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Breadman T4000 Ultimate Dream Machine, 2.5 LB.
Customer Review: Great machine, great manual
Summary: 5 Stars
Litmus test: I nailed a great loaf on my first attempt.
This machine is in a different league from my old Sunbeam. It comes with a bunch of preset cycles, but you can set the duration of individual stages (e.g. "3rd Rise").
The manual is well written. Not only is it full of useful information, but it is also a pleasant read; manuals nowadays are often very poorly translated into English, and you have to spend a long time trying to figure out what they're trying to say. This one is great in comparison.
So far I've had no problems with belts, or anything else. It really works well. That said, a couple of suggestions:
1) Stick around for the first few minutes of kneading. You may have to push some dry ingredients off the corner of the pan with the handle of a wooden spoon. The pan is longer than in most breadmakers, and dough may stick furthest from the paddle. Once the machine develops the ball, though, the problem goes away.
2) If the machine is not in a very well-lit area, you may have some difficulty seeing the LCD panel and seeing the bread inside the window. I fixed that by keeping a $1 flashlight close to the bread machine.
3) Pay attention to the table in the manual with equivalences between different kinds of yeast. That may make the difference between getting a loaf to be proud of and a loaf to be scared of...
