Own just about every countertop appliance known to man. Wish I would have purchased this year's ago.  Bought one for my daughterinlaw for a bridal shower gift,  she influenced my hubby into getting me one.....I'm a fan. Making bread is so easy now, not to mention to mess SAVED making the rest of my baked goods. A must for any family that cooks or bakes. Let's add, the assortment of accessories is a bonus.
