With the prices of bread machines dropping (and especially with so many
sales this time of the year) I think that you can do a lot better than to
buy a Welbilt machine, given that there have been stories here and
elsewhere about how they tend to break down. I have a Toastmaster (the
old 1 1/4 lb loaf version) and have been very happy with it (I'd be
happier with the new 1 1/2 or 2 lb versions since they're more standard
sizes). I saw a Toastmaster on sale at Bradlee's a couple of weeks ago
for $99.99, other places have had it on sale for $140 or less. There's
also the new Oster machine which looks nice and I think I have heard
decent things about it. Service Merchandise carries a number of these
machines and has frequent sales. I'd recommend checking them out.
