While I don't have a breadmaker, that Zoji gets rave reviews. I prefer a mixer (Ankarsrum) to a breadmaker, but they're great tools for anyone who doesn't like kneading. Too many people get stuck on not liking the in-machine baking: but you can set a dough cycle and take the dough out to shape, rise, & bake however you'd like.

100 percent correct. I do this when I am making tortillas. You can also make cookie dough, pasta etc in it. It's been a game changer for me. I make walnut bread and Hawaiian bread pretty often in it. I also make a cinnamon raisin bread for breakfast. We do alot of pot luck meals with work/community and I usually bring bread or home made ice cream (don't get much ice cream out here).
