7. I have found some reviews now, from other experienced bread makers -

whose experiences are similar to mine - as well as the exact opposite.

When I read the reviews initially, I read several of the top reviews - and several of the bad reviews. Unfortunately, the bulk of the bad reviews (3% of the overall thousands of reviews) are people who got sent a non-functional machine - or one which broke quickly . Now I'm searching for baking failures that sound like machine failures. More of them are baking bricks than cave-ins. But both are probably related to bad/inconsistent temperature or timing control.

I may have just thrown my money away . . . since it sounds as if they are very bad at refunding money, based on the reviews I'm finding.

On the positive side, I may be able to salvage my old machine. The damage to the cord is about an inch from the plug, so I may be able to just replace the plug (without messing with a wire soldered to a circuit board).
