I received the virtuoso bread machine and was expecting the first loaves to be not that great. However, much to my surprise, as i have never made a loaf of bread in my life and so these are the first ever, the first loaf (organic whole wheat) came out good, not great. Why? I used olive oil and did not put it with the other liquids, i put it last with the dry ingredients. The bread tasted great, but the shape was a little off because of my mistake. Now, on to the next loaf (organic whole wheat banana) and i made a few changes to the recipe and made sure i put all liquids first. The loaf came out almost perfect! It was shaped really nice with a smooth top and we sliced it into a regular loaf of bread. This loaf tasted better than the first but the only reason it was not perfect, i only put one banana and thus, the banana flavor was weak. Although the banana was weak, the taste was great and my kids love it. The reason we bought this machine is because our children go through a loaf a day and we were buying organic whole wheat from Whole Foods and so you can imagine the costs. With the virtuoso, we cut the price in half per loaf, it taste just as good if not better and we control the ingredients.
Ease of use? We found the machine to be very easy to use and the instructions are easy to follow. As long as you measure correctly and put the ingredients in the proper order, this machine is very easy to use. Basically you put the liquids first, then the dry ingredients, set the program for the bread you want to bake, close the lid and then press start. It is really that simple. Because the bread pan is made of non-stick material, the bread comes right out without a problem. I cannot stress how easy this machine is to bake a loaf bread. Remember, we have never baked a loaf of bread in our lives. For clean up, it is a breeze. The non stick coating on the bread pan makes it very easy. With warm water and light soap, any residue comes right off.
We understand that there are less expensive bread machines available and so we cannot compare this machine to the others. However, we are very pleased with this machine because it is very easy to use, has many options for various baking items and in our household, it will pay for itself in a few months. Although some may find the unit expensive, it all comes down to what you are looking for in a bread machine. Because we are health conscious and use a loaf a day, we wanted something that was easy to use and would produce a quality product. What we really like, we control the ingredients that will eventually be eaten by us and our children.

Made my third loaf this weekend and they have all turned out great. This replaced a machine I had for years and I expected to have a bit of a learning curve with the new machine but I'm already making some of my 'old favorites' with no problems. So far I'm thrilled!

Arrived in 3 days nicely packaged and works great. The knives, cook book and measuring cups and spoons that are a part of the package offered by esavings were all there. The knives were average grade, the cook book was nice and the measuring cups and spoons were high quality heavy gauge stainless steel that have some weight to them. Not some thin cheap metal. They also were deeply stamped with the size that is easy to read.
