First off, this stainless steel beauty looks like a spaceship on my counter—in a good way! The tempered glass lid lets me spy on my dough like a proud bread parent.

The gluten-free setting is MAGIC. As someone who recently went GF, I’ve had disasters with other machines. But here? Perfectly risen loaves every time. Pro tip: Use the included recipes first—they’re foolproof.

Made pretzel dough last night (yes, pretzels!) and the kneading paddle handled it like a champ. Though fair warning: the manual’s English is… creative. But hey, YouTube tutorials exist.

15-hour delay timer = waking up to cinnamon roll smells. Enough said.

Cons? The display dims during cycles (tap ‘+’ to brighten), and removing the pan requires a twist—not a yank. My Cuisinart-loving friend admitted this one’s better. Shhh.
