I purchased this bread machine for the little boy watch. He has a soy allergy that makes it hard to find bread he can eat. I found recipes on the internet and used some that came with the machine. I have made white, wheat and Italian herb bread. They all turned out perfectly! He and the entire family LOVE the bread that this machine makes. I would recommend this machine to everyone!

We make multi-grain loafs all the time. They come out small but wouldn't blame the machine. Doughs are always good. Problems I've had are 1) the LED numbers failed early into this units 3 year life span--very inconvenient. 2) pan latches became very loose, but with slight adjustment we lived with it, 3) seems to be under powered, although a tablespoon of water often fixes its lugging; 4) deal breaker, the pan started to leak; the rings around the paddle shaft rusted away, thus why we're getting a new baker.
BUT even with these issues, we will probably get another TR520 because it is reasonably priced, it makes good consistent loafs the way we like them and doughs are better than average. I just wished it would last a little longer. Three star.

I have three little complaints: 1) the bread comes out more square than oblong, makes for a very large sandwich (a huge bonus would be to come with a bread cutting guide). 2) the pale yellow background with the white letters used for the settings is quite cumbersome. This was quite puzzling to me because it is VERY hard to read the display... whose idea was it to use "pale" yellow and white? and 3) The recipe book is pretty hard to follow. It appears someone just jotted down the recipes and drew lines under each description to separate the ingredients. The way they have the ingredients displayed is somewhat confusing, but there is a way to figure it out... just careful attention. If this part of the review is confusing, that's what the recipe book is like, hard to explain it. THE SETTINGS: you have to be very careful with the settings, if you place setting for medium crust, it comes out very very dark, and hard. The light comes out medium, and somewhat harder than we like the crust to be. My solution: take out the bread about five minutes before it is finished. I don't know if there is any other machine out there better, but I really like having this instead of using store bought bread with all the fake and harmful ingredients; this way I know what exactly my family is eating. This machine, with a little tweaking on my part, works for me! Nice to have homemade bread.

This machine does what my previous, much more expensive, bread makers did, bur for much less money! I can use very simple or complex recipes and as long as I have followed the recommendations of the manufacturer, the bread comes out just as planned! I had to try only three "practice" loaves to know how to alter my recipes. I do suggest you use the yeast suggested in the manual instead of any in your recipes or purchased bread mix! Now, go bake some fresh bread...winter is coming and nothing is as welcoming as that smell!

I owned a Breadman for about 7 years, and wore it out. It worked great, except the last year or so it needed a bit of help to pick up and mix all of the ingredients; just a bit of digging flour out of the corners with a rubber spatula. In the new one, they've changed the shape of the pan; it looks like I won't have that problem.
I replaced it with this one. The heating coils quit about 90% of the way through the first loaf. Replacement was quick and easy, and the replacement has worked perfectly. I'd give it 5 stars, except the control panel on the front and the liquid crystal display are hard to read. I'll probably buy another Breadman in 5 or 10 years, when this one wears out!
