Features:

The uniquely shaped paddles:
This product has uniquely shaped paddles that give perfect shapes for it loaves. The kneading paddle collapses once the kneading cycle finishes which avoids the loaves from having paddle-shaped holes in them.
The timer programs:
With the handy timer, you can set up to 13hours in advance. You can also bake your bread using the standard 180 minute program or the timer can also be used to bake the bread when you are off. Hence, the programmable timer is of great use for the overnight baking.
The bread quality:
The bread that is baked using the standard program has an airy texture with strong bread smell and sweet taste. Even if the timer is used, the bread still goes on to look appetising and firm. The easy to use bread mixes too work well.
You can regulate the salt and sugar content which is a great boon to the ones in diet and especially the diabetic patients.
Programs available:
Some of the settings that are available are light, medium or dark crust settings. Options for baking small or large loaves are also available. You have a choice of around 10 baking programs.

Verdict:
The omission of the rapid bake feature is certainly a big disadvantage. Since this bread maker to too small, this is not the suitable one for large families. Otherwise, this compact, great looking product proves to be a great value for money.
