I owned for 17 years the bread machine that everybody totes as the best the best, you know the one that starts with the letter Z??!! I'm probably the first in history that's going to say I had nothing but problems with it and I had the top of the line one. First of all the bread pan coating peels within 7 to 8 months of consistent use and the paddles do the same oh and let me mention to replace the bread pan it's close to $90 and the paddles well you can guess that price is up there as well. I didn't want to spend after the machine finally went out that kind of money again. I just didn't see the purpose of it, especially I like to take my dough out shape it and work it the way I want, I don't like the crust that bread machines create when baked inside of them. I just had a good feeling about this elite gourmet machine and I thought let me give it a shot and boy am I impressed! I don't know what it is, it brings out such a beautiful tasting and flaky crust and texture, just amazing I can't even explain it! Although, I like to take the dough out and not have it baked inside a bread machine I did bake a few loaves in the elite gourmet and they came out really well. This machine outshines when using just the dough setting. I felt that Z machine that everybody totes is the best over kneaded the dough to the point it fermented it and made it very yeasty and dense tasting and this elite gourmet does not do that! I will say one caveat to this machine is do not overload it, it does its best with smaller amounts of flour in my experience I feel no more than four cups and that's pushing it. For the money I can get six of these for the price of one of those others. LOL I think for me more than having the best the best that the industry puts down your throat is how does it make your bread taste is your bread fluffy and squishy and have that nice creamy taste not yeasty fermented taste then this machine is for you! I use the exact same recipe in both brands of machines and believe it or not both loaves tasted and texture was completely different. I can be very fair here in my review since I owned the other one for 17 years and actually repurchased a new one and was very unhappy and returned it and actually bought a second one of the Elite Gourmet for backup. It's a little noisy compared to the other one I'm talking about, this one is nice and light has suction cups on the bottom so it doesn't jiggle around, it's so easy to set. I'm literally in love with this machine and financially wise I could do any of them and this one won me over! I did get the mint color, so much prettier in person and how cute they put a fork and spoon inside their leaf logo just a little detail that makes it not like any of the others. I've never seen a company put more effort into the packaging the plastic the cardboard so the machine arrives to you in perfect condition, no scratches no dents just a company that really takes its time to put that attention to detail!

This breadmaker works really well. I like the design and the layout of the control buttons... makes it intuitive and easy to operate. Once you follow the recipes that came with the breadmaker, it does an excellent job. I use it almost every week and enjoy delicious homemade bread. It also saves a little on purchasing bread from the bakery or store.I have no complaints... It works great!

Sadly I hadn't realised this product was coming from America, and when arrived I had to then send for adapter. My hubby was seriously ill so never used immediately. When I did bread burnt to cinder. I've made 3 since and each time bread rose but didn't cook. My husband had passed, so I was late with the return option. I sent an e mail about a month ago and although acknowledged no reply. I am now sending for another make as it looks as if I've completely lost that money. Positive I did like the colour x

I bought this international product very gladly through Amazon in May 2024. Used it twice or thrice only as instructed in the manual. After that it didn't work. It is very disappointing that I waste 21000/- on this product. Suggesting everyone not to buy this brand bread maker. It is totally wastage of money. As I have complained about it's improper functioning but there is no response from seller side. Now what to do with this machine. I didn't buy this product only for kneading but also to bake the bread. This machine spoiled lots of dough. After fermentation it doesn't work. It is very disappointing to buy product from Amazon also.They are also not helping me in replacing this product. I don't demand my money, only wanted to give a technically fit product. Help required.....
