Cuisinart Automatic Bread Maker Stainless

I bought this refurbished bread maker four years ago as it appeared that my15ish year old Breadman machine was dying. The startup of the Breadman became intermittent but it does eventually turn on so I just put this machine in storage. I just bought a second house so decided to give it a try and it works great. When I got it, I didn't really take a close look at it, just stuck it in storage as a backup. I did verify that all of the parts were included and that it turned on when plugged in. I did not notice until I actually started using it that there was a small ding in the basket, like something pointed had hit it. Other than that, it looks new. I have made a few loafs, now, and it works fine. I did discover that if I make a second loaf after the first loaf finishes, it affects the density of the second loaf and the finish of the crust which becomes smooth and shiny. Still made a decent loaf, just not as fluffy as the first loaf. The loaf size is about 2/3 as long as my old Breadman machine makes but it does great job of making a generic whole wheat loaf, which is my main use for it. Even though the loaf is small, it is shaped like a normal loaf, which is not true for many bread machines. It does take longer to bake a loaf than in my Breadman, but being retired makes that a non-issue. The smaller loaf means it has only one paddle which is easily removed to a avoid it sticking in the loaf, which is not true for my Breadman. Giving this machine a thumbs up. Will update at some milestones, 25, 50, 100 loaves. No idea how many loaves my Breadman has made.....
