Can be pre-programmed to awake to the smell of fresh bread for breakfast. Also has a custom profile that allows you to create your own "Home Made" bread recipe.
Summary Machine runs quietly and is easy to operate. Can be pre-programmed so you can wake up to fresh bread. Priced reasonably so it is affordable for just about anyone. Great for you if this will be the first bread machine you purchase.
