This is a basic no frills breadmaker whic does what it is supposed to do and doe it very well.

This is my second Oster Breadmaker. I loved the first one so much that when it came time to replace it I didn’t hesitate to buy it again! Very easy to operate and works well with any recipe. If you are in the market for a bread maker this is the one to buy.

We’ve probably made 25 loaves of bread already and every one of them has been great!

It makes a loud cracking grinding noise while it is kneading the bread. I can't recommend this model.

I have made 3 different kinds of bread (white, whole wheat and sweet) in the first week I got it and they all came out great! I’m also pleased with how much smaller and lighter this one is than the two machines I had in the past. Makes it much easier to move it from the counter and put it away.So far I’m very happy with it. If anything changes, I’ll be updating this review.

Adorable machine. Great features, all of which I'd like to explore. However, the primary purpose was to make my own (edible) gluten-free bread (I heard you roll your eyes; not my choice but the MD said my blood test indicated significant immune system reaction to gluten). For the life of me and my reputation as a research scientist specializing in experimental thermodynamics, I continue to fail at making even marginally suitable loaves of gluten-free bread. I want to keep this machine as I'm sure it will be great when I make sweet breads of all sorts and even jam! Yet, once again, the paramount reason for its purchase was to make edible gluten-free bread.I tried three different brands of gluten-free flour comprised of different mixture content and ratios. I followed the gluten-free recipe in the manual to the letter multiple times (think double digits and don't judge). I tried permutations on ingredients. Some were recommended by the manual and others from different sources, which included the addition of egg versus just slightly increased moisture, the modification of the masses of flour and instant bread machine yeast, and different flour mixture compositions. I attempted variations on baking time and color selections. Not once did I get a normal bread dome, bread interior, or bread color. Instead, the domes are pale, rough, dry surfaces reminiscent of poorly laid concrete. The exterior surfaces are nearly always pale. Only one time did a browned exterior form although the dome still maintained a horrible concrete texture. Meanwhile, the interiors were dense in all experimental loaves and ranged from almost cracker-crumb dry to overly moist. Never once did any loaf appear similar to those pictured in the advertisements and support.Again, experimental scientist and research professor here with an undergraduate and two advanced graduate degrees in chemistry, so I know very well how to design and execute with great precision single parameter variation experiments. Thus, to the reviewer with the sweeping comments about failing to make some anticipated standard level of bread is due to one not grasping the functions of the machine, well, raspberries to you is all I can say. It may be true in some instances, but it is not a absolute. In the case of my gluten-free bread maker journey, certainly the operations and features of the machine aren't a mystery. What astounded me is how/why in the blazes did anyone write such a crummy manual and Oster happily signed off on it. What befuddled me is why the bread maker gluten-free recipe simply doesn't work. My hypotheses on my repeated failures to form edible gluten-free bread include: 1) the gluten-free flour variety included in my experiments are representative of a small sample of those available and may not reflect the manufacturer choice, which is unknown and not in the manual (i did try two flours most frequently recommended in reviews elsewhere); 2) I need to do homework and compile the fundamental underpinnings of making bread and how specific ingredients perturb its formation and its development of desired properties; 3) the machine that I received might not have been carefully delivered and was subsequently damaged internally; 4) none of the above will help in my case and I will forever fail at this one endeavor although I've mastered everything else to which I've applied myself. Where to begin?To the manufacturer: I hope that you can appreciate how maddening this is. Please modify your manual appropriately. I am happy to consult.To others as inexperienced at making bread as I was, let's not give up. Surely there's some old text out there that contains the secrets to bread making. Very likely, others have acquired this information and will kindly share it while supplying all of the necessary details for a successful outcome.Never surrender.Keep loafing.

We tried making bread for Christmas and it was not great. The bread did not rise as it should have. We used all fresh ingredients and followed the directions, still the bread was not great. We used to have a Black and Decker bread machine and this one doesn’t come close.

The product came in good condition. For the price, I can't go wrong. It's way cheaper than brand new and I got an item same as brand new.
