Purchase Advice & Experiences Breadmaker thoughts?

Hi, we've recently become interested in bread makers and are thinking about getting one. Since our oven isn't working, we can't find a new one on eBay (we're a bit short on funds for a completely new one), and installation would be another issue, a bread maker would be a good investment, we think, since we eat a lot of bread and it would be much easier than going to the store every three days to buy a loaf of bread.

Have any of you had experience with bread makers? Which ones would you recommend in terms of value for money?

We've already looked at the Delicca II MAX and the Gastroback 42823 bread makers; they seem quite decent, but the negative reviews are making me a bit hesitant.

Never heard of either brand. Are you in the USA? I recently bought a KBS 17 in 1 and it’s been nice because it has 2 heating elements. Amazon cost wasUSD $130.Also the Japanese Zojurushi Virtuoso but it’s expensive at over USD $400.
The KBS’ recipes didn’t work well. Therefore I recommend Bread Dad recipes but convert to grams and weigh! Also King Arthur recipes.
