Bread maker machine

Wife wants a bread maker for Christmas.
This is the extent of my knowledge and research on bread makers. Wanting to use it for our weekly bread usage for sandwiches, etc.
Any recommendations?

An oven?

These were popular in the early 90s. I had one. Used it a lot. Didn't know they were still sold.
Anyway, got no recommendation. I still bake bread but I use the oven.

Can't beat the tried and true method. Actually, the hardest part about almost any bread making is mixing the dough since most of them are pretty stiff, but quite doable with just a bit of elbow grease.
I like to bake bread and have a good rosemary/parmesan recipe I use, along with sweet breads like banana/nut and date/nut.
Once the dough is formed, it's just a matter of letting it proof (rise) before actually baking it. Not many things beat the aroma of bread baking in an oven to make a house smell great.
Cleanup is easy too. Just a mixing bowl, a couple utensils and a loaf pan.

My wife took up bread making a few years ago, she's gotten really good at it. I love it.

burned the shite out of my hands as a kid picking up the metal container thing that holds the bread in that machine, thinking it wasnt hot, turns out i was wrong
pretty impressive marketing campaign considering its no different than using an over. feel like they are akin to the current air fryers

We had one in the 90s that we used a couple of times a week. Especially loved to make a peanut butter bread recipe overnight and time it for when we woke up the next morning. The aroma was incredible.
I found it in the last few years and fired it up. Still worked fine and made a beautiful loaf.
Just googled it and they are still making them.

Get a really nice bread storage box instead.
You can do bread easily with a stand up mixer. If you're able to, learn to get a sourdough starter going. If you have a different kind of bed then get good at that and eat it fast. You can store in the bread box and as long as you don't cut into it, it will last longer than sliced bread you've already gotten into.

I've got an Amazon Basics machine and we really like it. My wife loves fresh homemade bread. We've got our money's worth for sure. If you get one check out BreadDad's website and recipes for bread machines. He uses milk instead of water and we like it alot better.

I was given one as a present 15 or so years ago. We used it 5 or 6 times and loved eating fresh bread but then forgot about it and gave it away after it sat unused for a few years. Another single purpose appliance that takes up too much shelf/cabinet space.

They are a little easier than the old fashion way but one fault is the bread is not really that good. We sold ours .

I am considering the same thing. I am pretty good with quick breads but am new to yeast breads. I have been watching some videos online.

For the most part, yeast breads are pretty straight forward. The only thing with them is using yeast that is not past its shelf life-----and it does have a shelf life.
My barometer is when it's put in warm water to activate, if very little, or nothing is happening, I toss it and get a new packet to use. I usually buy the 3 packets of yeast you can find in the flour section of most markets.

Had one about 15 years ago. It takes up a lot of space and she will maybe use it a few times the first year then it'll rarely get used again.
Just get a nice kitchen aid mixer instead if you don't already have one. That's really the best thing to have if you want to make all different kinds of bread.
