Customer Review: Best Pick for Quality and Cost
Summary: 5 Stars
A person could about go neurotic over trying to make choices sometimes; you just don't want to make a mistake when laying that hard earned money down. I did not make a mistake in choosing this bread machine. First, it makes a good loaf of bread. A noticeable taste improvement over the old Panasonic I used to have. The loaves are small looking even though they're a pound or larger but what's nice is that the slices come out large and even with the roundness at the top like it's "supposed" to be. Hey, aesthetics count. I want normal looking loaves and these are not just normal but impressive.
Another nice feature is the ease of removing and inserting the bread pan. No need to twist it to get it in or out, it goes straight down and straight up. Of course the pan is easy to clean and so far the paddle hasn't lodged itself in the bread needing to be dug out and destroying the loaf.
The low price is a definite plus, because let's face it, they just don't make products that last a lifetime anymore; I for one don't like paying lifelong prices for items not expected to last a lifetime. One more reality is the size of the thing, it does take up some counter space. At least it does so looking sharp if that can be said about a bread machine. I like the black color. The easy to read display and intuitive controls are excellent. The booklet doesn't offer very many recipes but recipes are easy to find on the internet. If you want good home made bread that looks good and tastes good, is easy to make and clean up after, this is your machine.
Customer Review: READ ALL REVIEWS CAREFULLY before buying the Breadman TR875 Stainless Steel Breadmaker!!!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Listen very carefully to the negative reviews... or semi-negative reviews. They are more dead-on than the positive reviews. I too received a product that appears to have been returned and an attempt to be refurbished. There was glue coming out of the panel, and the menu button was sticking, and would not let me choose my options. The "loaf" button did not allow any choices at all, and when I tried to "stop" the machine, it continued. The accessory kit was broken as well. It didn't even bake the bread properly. My 15 year old bread maker works better, and it is on it's way out... (I ordered this NEW, nothing stated "refurbished" or otherwise.)

5/4/2008 Well in my quest to buy a bread machine, I have found none like the one I am replacing. I went on Ebay & found the exact same bread machine that I am trying to replace (Regal Kitchen Pro K6745S); and practically new. (It is hard to find.) I have had mine so long, I know that it is a better choice than trying to look for a machine made recently. I'm so familiar with the way it works, that I have successfully gotten it to work with gluten-free bread on the rapid cycle; even though the machine does not have a "gluten-free" cycle.
Customer Review: Refurbished/used units being sold as new
Summary: 1 Stars
Our family waited with anticipation for the delivery of our new Breadman TR875 breadmaker. We have been faithfully served over the years by our old Toastmaster bread machine. Our 11 yr. old son was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and we decided to purchase a separate bread machine for his use so he might enjoy fresh gluten-free bread without the worry of cross contamination from our existing bread maker. The gluten-free cycles of the Breadman machine made it the obvious choice.
Imagine our disappointment when the unit arrived yesterday and clearly was refurbished/previously used. Gluten contamination issues of a potentially used unit aside, I could hardly believe Amazon would charge in the neighborhood of $100 for a previously sold item which may have more serious problems than the obvious cosmetic issues. A little more in-depth searching of past reviews shows that this is not an isolated case. I thought perhaps the item had shipped directly from the manufacturer this way, but Amazon undoubtably is at fault as the shipping label shows it was shipped from Amazon's Indiana warehouse.
If Amazon wishes to sell used or refurbished units they should advertise them as such and price them accordingly. When a retailer markets an item as new, they are beholden to their customers to provide the item as described. Based on the comments of those users who've used this machine it appears to be a terrific unit. Sadly, to find out I'll have to hunt one down locally where I can see what I'm buying. Shame on you Amazon!

Breadman TR875 2-Pound Breadmaker, Stainless Steel
I want to start by saying that I am a first time bread machine owner. My girlfriend has a older Breadman bread machine they have had for years and I saw how easy it was for her and her husband to make fresh bread and I just had to have one. I researched all the bread machines and this one had great ratings on every website I visited and went perfect with my other kitchen appliances, so I ordered one; I'm so happy that I did.
I got it yesterday afternoon and I'm already making my second loaf with it. Right now I smell my potato bread and I can barely wait for it to finish and cool down so I can tear into it. Last night I prepared a bread mix from a box and that loaf was so good that its already been eaten.
This machine is so easy to use, the readout is big enough you can see it and the bread is perfect! I could not be happier with this purchase. I bought it mainly for the holiday season coming up, but I can say that we will be making bread a lot. I love the fact that you just place all your fresh ingredients in it, close the lid, push the buttons and this machine does it all for you. I also love the timer feature, so you can add your ingredients, set it to bake later, go to work, come home to fresh baked bread! No muss no fuss. I highly recommend this machine to anyone and there are many recipes on-line to try! You can't go wrong with this one.
Customer Review: This machine is AWESOME!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my third bread machine. I bought this particular bread machine during the Black Friday sale because I liked the look of the black and stainless steel. I really wanted one that would make quick breads, like banana nut bread or pumpkin bread. I looked at the manual for this model online and it had one little sentence that referred to the "bake cycle" being for cakes and bread. I just got my machine this afternoon and decided to experiment with it. I found a recipe online for bread machine banana bread. I added the ingredients to the pan and turned on the dough cycle. I let it mix for about 3 minutes. It mashed the bananas and mixed the ingredients perfectly. Then I stopped the dough cycle and turned on the bake cycle. In an hour I had a perfect loaf of hot banana bread! I love it!!! The manufacturers are really missing a bet by not listing the ability to mix and bake quick breads as a feature.
I also made a perfect loaf of white bread. The ability to choose the darkness of the crust is a real plus. My last bread machine didn't have this feature and nearly always got the bread way too dark. The Breadman made a perfect loaf. I like the shape of the bread pan. It makes an actual short loaf, not a big square thing like my previous bread machine.
I was a little worried after some of the reviews here said that their machines were obviously refurbs, but mine arrived in absolutely perfect, new condition. I really recommend this machine!
