Breadman TR2500BC

Pros: Very good kneading process.

Cons: More costly than some, but not bad at all.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this breadmaker. I cannot really speak for all the models out there, but this one works well for me.

Review: Check out my review of the Sunbeam 5891. In that review, I compare it to the Breadman TR2500. The Breadman is the winner because of a much stronger kneading motor and kneading process. I had an Kenmore which was a private labeled Breadman and a ...

Pros: Very simple and bakes a perfect loaf every time!

Cons: Basket comes off track occasionally

The Bottom Line: Simple to use and perfect bread every time.

Review: We have had this bread machine for two and a half years now and it still works great. The machine gets used at least 2 times a week and every loaf turns out great. The only problem thus far is that the basket pops out of place occasionally and ...

Pros: Rectangular loaf, versatile programmability, quality construction

Cons: Dim display; press lid to turn light off. Too much clearance between paddle and shaft.

The Bottom Line: Very good quality versatile machine at attractive price.

Review: Our older breadmaker, purchased from DAK, functioned well for about ten years before stopping, leading me to order this unit. The Breadman TR2500 BC arrived within two days (Dallas to Houston) with free shipping, and in good condition. I spent the ...

Pros: Works every time and VERY versatile

Cons: None particularly other than I am eating too much bread

Review: My unit developed the "popping" out problem during the kneading cycle. The problem is the small "clips" on the side of the unit need to be bent out a bit to allow the pan to firmly snap in place. My problem didn't develop until after a year. I am ...

Pros: Easy to use. Turns out great homemade bread loaves.

Cons: Surface hard to keep clean.

Review: I purchased this product specifically for the gluten free option it has. And it does very well with those very thick, sticky doughs that gluten free diets are known for. However, I have found it to be a very good bread machine in other types of dough as ...

Pros: delay timer, horizontal pan, extras dispenser, jam cycle, three sizes

Cons: pan pops out, rendering timer useless!

Review: I, too, loved my darling Breadman and pre-programmed it to have the bread ready first thing in the morning-- what a great way to wake up. I used the machine regularly for about a year, then we moved and it sat on the shelf for a while. Now we've moved ...

Pros: made a perfect loaf every time, has a fruits and nuts dispenser

Cons: very poor customer service, basket sometimes popped out, it was noisy

The Bottom Line: Stay away from this product. Once out of warranty they do not offer service and do not have service centres to handle warranty on a direct basis.

Review: We bought our Breadman Ultimate Plus TR2500BC Breadmaker as an open box item on December 2, 2006. On February 18th, 2007 only 11 weeks later with 18 minutes left to bake the machine cleared, started buzzing and would not reset. I had to unplug it to ...

Pros: The recipe book.

Cons: Everything else.

The Bottom Line: Look elsewhere.

Review: Hi. I've worn out several bread machines over 15 years and was very disappointed in this model. The first one I bought had the problem of the pan's popping out of it's clips from the first day. Bending the clips helped, usually, but I could never ...

Pros: Multiple menus, Excellent book, small footprint.

Cons: Made about 30 loaves of bread and it died twice. Good for spare parts now.

The Bottom Line: This unit was replaced by a Sunbeam 5891. Died in just over a year. TR2200C is far better. Now just spare parts for the TR2200C

Review: Had this unit for a little over a year. Went to use it a few weeks ago and the display was dead, no beeps or anything. Called the company nothing but prompt after prompt, hung up. Took it apart found a bad soldier joint, fixed it units worked. Made a ...

Pros: none

Cons: IF the machine works, the baking pan comes loose very easily during the knead cycle.

Review: The first time I used this machine, the bread pan came loose during the first knead cycle. Then the second time I attempted to use it, it didn't work at all. I returned it to Target that day. Not a good ...

Pros: Can't wait!

Cons: Have not rec'd it yet

Review: I just spoke to the customer service department today. It was regarding my Breadman TR205, it was catching on fire, I was making a lot of bread with it.  I just rec'd it in Feburary.  They are replacing it with the Breadman TR2500BC. ...
