Bread-Bakers v105.n034.2

Is there someone who owns and uses a Cuisinart Convection Bread 
Machine and  is highly satisfied with it (or not)?  Finds it 
user-friendly in all respects?

I recently purchased (after much thought and looking in to) a 
Zojirushi bread machine.  After using it twice, I sent it back.  It 
must have been a lemon.  The top of the loaves were barely brown 
although the sides and bottom were very nicely browned and the loaf 
was easily released from the bread pan.  I was told I could try this 
and that to overcome the problem but my feeling was if I had to tweak 
it to accomplish what I expected should not be a problem in the first 
place, it was hardly worth keeping and certainly not at the $200 price tag.

I'm willing to try my luck with the Cuisinart Convection ($100) but 
would like to hear from users first if possible (or about any other 
highly recommended brands).

Thanks anybody.
