Bread-Bakers v004.n040.2

I apologise in advance if this question has been asked many times, but I 
have just discovered this list thanks to Diane Barlow.
I am hoping for a bread machine for christmas and am wondering what is the
best model.
Specifically can anybody tell me what the West Bend one is like?
It is the cheapest one that can make a large 1 1/2lb loaf and I presume
it is made in the U.S.A
Thank-you,
Petra
