Put $200 into a cheap bread machine last month thinking it'd be a gimmick
My wife nagged me into trying it and now I've baked like 15 loaves, the thing actually makes decent bread for zero effort. Anyone else get humbled by a gadget they swore they'd hate?

Why would anyone hate a machine that makes fresh bread smell fill the whole house?

You made me laugh with 'why would anyone hate a machine that makes fresh bread smell fill the whole house' because that's exactly what happened to me. But here's the practical thing I learned the hard way: if you're using the timer function, don't put milk or eggs in the bread pan overnight, they'll go bad before the bake cycle starts. Also, try swapping a quarter cup of the flour for some rye or spelt, it makes the bread way more interesting and the machine handles it just fine.
