According to the Consumer Reports December 1995 (page 799-801), the best
bread machine is a Regal Kitchen Pro K6743. The Zojirushi is 8th on the
rankings. I bought one of the smaller Regal models for $100 Canadian (about
US$73) and it works well.
Anyway heres a web location with a recipe of the month:
