Without ever using another bread maker I can only tell you my experience using this machine. The unit is nicely designed and would look good in most kitchens. I have made two loafs of bread so far and they have come out perfect. The first one was a plain white bread loaf. I takes 3 hours for it to complete its cycle (standard for breads using yeast). The bread came out medium crusted (there are 3 setting for the crust..light, medium and dark) with a light but very slightly chewy consistency (in other words perfect by my standards). I thought for the first bread I have made with the machine it was quite good. In fact, the 2 lb. loaf was devoured by the family, kids included.
The second bread loaf included white chocolate chips, about 3/4 cups of M&Ms, a general experimental holiday bread. This bread had a bit thicker but excellent consistency. Kind of melt in your mouth. So the machine handles extra ingredients, like chocolate chips, just fine. This bread was a delicacy and relished by all. Just pour a cup of coffee and enjoy.
Overall, if you make sure to wash it out well before you use it the first time, add ingredients correctly, usually liquids first then four with yeast last on top of the flour, you are going to make some fine bread. Don't let the lower price fool you, it makes really good bread. Rosewill also has excellent customer support, I see them replying to problems when people post them on sites like NewEgg and Amazon. It is refreshing to see that a company supports their products this way.

I've been using this bread machine on a weekly basis for almost a year, and it's been working greatly until the inner pan was recently scratched by accident. I couldn't find a replacement on the market so that my boyfriend contacted the company for buying a pan. Their customer service responded shortly and sent us a new pan from their warehouse for free. I'm amazed at how helpful the company is, despite that they are not specialized at making bread machine. Also speaking of the machine itself, I find it just as good as the brand-name ones with a fraction of the cost. Highly recommend!

My wife LOVES this bread maker and I'm happy to have great homemade bread. She wasn't sure if she would like bread from a bread maker, but since I bought it for her six months ago we haven't bought a single loaf of bread from the store. She mostly makes half white, half wheat bread and occasionally white bread. She has also used it to make several different types of jams three or four times and it has made excellent jam. We make a dozen or so dry mixes at a time that we keep in plastic bags so that when she wants to make bread she just dumps in the dry mix, yeast, and water and its ready to go. Each loaf turns has turned out great, and they've been getting better and better. The four biggest things we've learned are 1) checking how moist the dough is after it has been mixed makes a HUGE difference in how the crust of the loaf turns out which is why it beeps after it is done kneading the dough. It shouldn't be too sticky or too dry. (but even when we are too busy to check it, we still like the bread) 2) Using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour makes a big difference. 3) When we do use all-purpose flour, adding a table spoon of wheat gluten for each cup of flour makes all the difference (I even add more wheat gluten to the bread flour). Wheat gluten makes the bread spongy and stretchy like the bread you buy from the store (rather than crumbly and crumby). You can buy a big can of wheat gluten on Amazon that lasts a long time and is a good price. 4) Bread recipes are not all created equal.
Today my wife put our Rosewill Bread Maker on the stove and accidentally turned the stove on! Luckily she didn't leave the house, but I will say the bread maker is not fireproof! So now I'm looking to replace our breadmaker. I've offered to buy her the Zojirishi Virtuoso, Panasonic SD-YD250, or Cuisinart CBK-100 now that she knows she likes using a breadmaker but she wants another Rosewill. The Rosewill is very well made. It seems very durable. It cooks evenly. The weakest part of it is probably the handle of the breadpan. You have to twist to remove the breadpan and the metal handle it has is a little flimsy. Handling it with a little care though, I don't expect that we will ever break it. It kneads the bread very well. For those that would prefer a pan loaf, you can use it to save time kneading and raising dough and then remove it, place it in a pan and cook it in the oven. My wife has done that for making rolls. It certainly will make a prettier loaf of bread if you do that, but sometimes convenience is what you want.
Comparing the different brands, all four have 13 hour delay starts and have 3 crust settings. The Rosewill, Panasonic, and Cuisinart all make the same shape of bread which is a few inches taller than your typical store bought bread. They all have the same type bread pan with the flimsy handle. The Cuisinart lets you pull out the paddle that kneads the dough so you don't have a hole at the bottom of your loaf. The Zojirishi is a flatter loaf, but then you have two holes at the bottom of your loaf. The pan does have sturdy handles on the sides. The Zojirishi also has a heater on the top to cook the top crust (the Rosewill seems to cook the top crust just fine without a top heater).The Zorijishi and Cuisinart have programmable settings that can be saved which the Panasonic and Rosewill don't have. A major complaint of the Cuisinart are the very loud beeps between kneading, raising and cooking. The Rosewill beeps too, but it isn't terribly loud. The Panasonic make a maximum 2 1/2 lb loaf whereas the others only make up to a 2 lb loaf. The Panasonic does not have a window to see your bread that the other three do, nor does it have a jam setting and the other three do. The Panasonic is the only one with a yeast dispenser which adds the yeast when the dough is at the correct temperature. Some reviewers suggested that they had at least one time when it didn't dispense the yeast in at all. The Rosewill has a 60 minute "keep warm" setting that the none of the others have. I can't speak to how long each will last, but at 5 times the cost, if the Zojirishi better last 5 times as long as the Rosewill.
The deciding factors for selecting the Rosewill again were 1) it had a jam setting which the Panasonic did not 2) Nothing about the Cuisinart stood out other than it looks nicer, but my wife would just assume avoid the loud beeping 3) my wife says she would prefer having a bit taller of a loaf than having two holes at the bottom of the loaf (Zojirishi) and 4) we already know the Rosewill cooks a great loaf and doubt the others would do that much better of a better job, if at all. So why spend more?
