Okay, let's talk about my rollercoaster journey with the Razorri Bread Maker. At first, I was head over heels - that 'fresh bread smell' filling my kitchen? Absolute magic. My whole wheat honey loaf came out perfectly golden on medium crust setting, and the 15-hour delay timer meant waking up to warm bread (game changer for breakfast).

But here's the real talk: my third loaf turned into a sad brick. Like other reviewers, I faced the premature baking issue during rise cycles. The crust would harden while the center stayed doughy - not exactly Instagram-worthy. Customer service was responsive though, sending a replacement after I emailed them photos of my doughy disaster.

When it works? Heaven. The gluten-free setting makes decent sandwich bread (my celiac friend approved), and I'm obsessed with the stainless steel handle - no more burnt fingers! But I've learned to babysit the machine during rises, peeking through that viewing window like a nervous parent. Pro tip: Their basic white bread recipe works best; my fancy rosemary-olive oil creation? Total fail.

Final verdict? It's like dating someone gorgeous but high-maintenance. When good, it's amazing. When bad... well, at least Rika's customer service brings chocolates (metaphorically speaking). Would I buy again? Maybe - but only if they fix those heating issues.
