I really don't like them.  The one we had had the hook mechanism on  
the bottom, so half the loaf of bread had a big hole in the middle.   
I'd rather have a whole loaf for my trouble, even if I shape it by  
hand and it's less than perfect looking.

It was ok if you wanted half a loaf of sandwich type bread, but you  
can't vary at all for texture, like a chewy crust, or steam.

It was ok with mixes, but the minute you added something harder, like  
real whole wheat, it chugged.

All in all I was thrilled when I gave it away.
