I’ve had the same bread maker for twenty years. I use it every week. What’s wrong with bread machines?
Nothing is wrong with them.
We have one almost as old. They are great, even if you only use them for the initial phases, and then do the bread in the oven.
Who said there was anything wrong with them? We found ours to be unnecessary, as have many other people. If you like to use yours, good for you.
