My daughter bought an Oster Deluxe 2-Pound Bread and Dough Maker to replace
her old machine. She is very happy with it. It was only $59.95 at Costco.
It makes 1, 1 1/2, and 2 pound loaves. It has settings for basic
(includes beep for raisins etc), rapid, sweet, french, whole wheat, dough
and bake only. It makes quick breads, jam and pasta dough also. It has
only one paddle but it is larger than normal but designed so that the hole
is no larger than other machines, (in fact, it is smaller than my old
Hitachi).
I read that the Japanese rejected the bread machine because the machines
made too much noise when they started up in the middle of the night. Rice
paper walls did not do much to deaden the sound. Lucky for us that they
had to find someone else to sell them to. <G>
