I've decided to try baking bread, again. I used to have a bread machine, but it's long gone.

Do any of you have a bread machine recommendation? I have arthritis in my hands and am hoping to avoid a lot of kneading. Thanks.

What's your budget, @fuzzi? There are top end ones that are $300-400, and less expensive ones that are under $100.

Check out yard sales and estate sales. My neighbor finds used bread machines for $10-20.

Using a stand mixer with a dough hook can take care of the kneading for you without needing a bread machine.

Thanks, but I don't have a stand mixer that can handle a dough hook, it's pretty lightweight, only good for cake and cookie dough.

Do you have a brand you'd recommend? Or warn against?

I'd rather not go above $200 but for a good quality product I might invest more in it. What do you use?

Not one in your budget range.

Bakers good morning one and all!

Tea is ready.

Have a great day!

I have a Hamilton Beach that is... okay. It was about $70. It said it had a GF cycle, but I got better results if I used the mix cycle and then used the bake cycle.

The Cuisinart compact has excellent reviews on several different sites, and $129 is doable.
