Own it and love it.
This is a great machine and the price is great as well. This produces a nice loaf of bread . The first loaf was a quick cook one and even that was good. When I made a nice oatmeal bread it was heavenly. You can't beat the fact that this has a horizonal loaf pan, with dual paddles and is under $100. The other dual paddle horizontal bread machines cost twice this price. And you can make a 3 lb loaf of bread in the beauty.. This is my third breadmachine over the years and is by far my favorite.
Lasted 10 months
I received this as a gift and it lasted 10 months before one of the paddle drives broke. It won't knead properly with only one. B&D promises a new replacement machine with the one year warranty. Have to pay for shipping of new machine. Lid is not molded very well at all in the rear and heat discolored the plastic lid over the months. Worked well for 10 months. Paddles tend to come off inside the loaf after baking and can be difficult to remove. Am waiting on a replacement. Will go for a different brand next time. Scant recipes included in booklet.
This machine is terrible
Black & Decker All-in-One Automatic Bread MakerI used my old Black & Decker breadmaker for years and never had a problem, unfortunately it died. I bought the Model B2300 several months ago and I absolutely hate it. First, the settings are difficult to figure out, second it burns every loaf on the outside and the inside is doughy, inedible. Second, there are no recipes in the book that I really care to make and it won't successfully make the recipes from my old book.
Third, who wants to make jam in their bread maker, ugh. I am so sorry I bought this machine and I wish I had my old bread maker back. Go back to selling the old machines Black and Decker, this new one is ruining what I previously thought was your good name. I might add that I am not a novice cook and have made my own bread for years. With increasing arthritus in my hands making this painful to do, I thought this supposedly new, up-to-the-minute machine would be a godsend. Not so much.
Colour me disappointed in the extreme.
