Oster 2-lb. Expressbake Bread Machine  Product Reviews

"After first buying a cheap Sunbeam that didn't work at all, I decided to upgrade to the Oster, which I soon discovered was also made by Sunbeam. After burning several loaves of whole wheat bread, I carefully check and timed the cycles (the cycle times are not in the manuel). I discovered that the only difference between white, whole wheat, etc. is the time it rises. All cooking cycles were 60 minutes. That is 20 minutes more than my old machine. Way too long for any type of bread that I know of."

"Heard people rave about bread makers so I bought this model. I think only one attempt came out acceptable. The others failed to rise even though I used different brands of bread mixes and followed the directions."

"Every loaf we've made with this machine has come out over baked. It just seems to bake at too high a temp."
