Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I cannot imagine what some of these reviewers are doing to these poor machines. I specifically waited to write this review due to the many complaints "reviewers" have left. I have had my CBK-200 for several months now and make at least one loaf of bread a week. It works flawlessly. The recipe I use is a basic white bread recipe... proof the yeast in 1 cup of 110 degree water and 2 tablespoons of sugar for 10 minutes. Once it is good and "foamy", add 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter, add 3 cups of white bread flour topped off with 1 teaspoon of salt. Then put the baking pan in the machine and push Start. An hour and a half or so later, it beeps 6 times and I push Pause, take the mixing paddle out, put the baking pan back in the machine and push Start to continue the baking process. In about 3 hours over all, fresh, hot bread. Other "reviewers" have complained about the "noise". Ummm... what noise? It isn't as noisy as my washing machine in my kitchen, and I can barely hear that running. The CBK-200 does make a bit of noise when it's kneading, but only a bit. Nothing like the "Volkswagen" comlained about by one reviewer, and I know . . . I've owned several VWs. This bread machine is NOT noisy. I solidly recommend this machine to anyone . . . if they can read the instructions. I've already suggested the CBK-200 to all my friends. *UPDATE - 2021* Well . . . after 4 years of baking a LOT of bread (sometimes 2-3 loaves a day) and two back to back hurricanes in 2020, the bread machine is on it's last legs. I'm about to order a replacement. While I am replacing it, I will say that the original machine is still making bread . . . it is finicky, needs monitoring, and no longer makes noise . . . the loaves aren't "pretty", but they're edible. This machine has been such a soldier, we're replacing it with the exact same machine.
