I love mine, but you do have to be flexible on certain things like shape and crust (my machine has crust settings, but sometimes the bread rises a bit too much and therefore doesn't get crispy on top).
The paddles (mine has two) do end up in the bread sometimes. I just pull them out and it doesn't bother me. Breadmaker bread does go stale faster but this is a reason to make bread pudding or french onion soup.
I played around with our breadmaker's official recipes to develop my own and that took a bit.
Now I can put a bean soup in the crockpot and set up the breadmaker and go to work and come home to fresh bread and soup. It's like having a personal chef. ;)
