Bought it to save on sandwich bread, was 53 from best buy, originally 150 their site said. Now I just make bread every day. Then I started putting Vegemite on it and am addicted to that. Also Vegemite plus avocado toast is insanely good and cheap for the calories. Also good nutritional value.

I can speed make it in the morning with good preparation hacks. I use mason jars with all the dry ingredients ready to go in a drawer, and I use a digital scale to make adding flour fast and accurate.

I picked one up maybe a month or two, then I was gifted a second one. I've got one or both running at least 3-4x a week! Typically two or three times a week for bread, and another time for pizza dough. Having both going at the same time speeds things up quite a bit, but it was doable with the one machine.

I'm 100% seeing the cost savings, and the bread/dough is so much better than store bought!

Started to really save when I switched from those glass jars of yeast to Red Star in large bags (instant to active dry yeast) and ditching bread machine flour for just Canadian all-purpose flour at a fraction of the cost.
