Cons: bake cycle a bit long, provided recipes incorrect
The Bottom Line: Buy this for a low cost, healthier bread supply but a novice baker. Just don't expect "set it & forget it", perfect results right out of the box.
tramp116's Full Review: Sunbeam 5891 Bread Machine
The Sunbeam 591 is my first bread machine and there has been a significant learning curve in making good bread. I used up 5 bags of flour before I started to figure out the tricks. But I have had it now for a year and once I learned the tricks, my bread has been very good. Functionally, my machine works well. None of the noises, bearing & motor problems, or other function problems other people have reported. It has been very reliable. It does produce sounds at the various stages which are loud enough to be heard in another room. I find this useful as I can monitor the progress while doing other things. I don't have to watch the clock. The recipes that came with the instructions are okay but contain WAY too much yeast. My experience has been ANY recipe that asks for 2 tsp or more of yeast is gonna fall. I cut back to 1&1/4 to 1&3/4 tsp of yeast for all recipes and my loaves have been coming out great ever since. And I use regular dry yeast. Not "bread machine" yeast. Bread machine yeast only rises once and so is useful only in the Express mode. The standard settings do tend to over-bake the loaf. I've taken to stopping the baking cycle after 45 to 50 minutes and my crusts have gotten much softer while the inside is properly baked. Okay, maybe it's not equal to a $200 bread machine. But I got it at Walmart for $40. And once I learned how to use it correctly, I have been very happy with the results. I would buy this machine again and would recommend it to others, with the warning that, like any tool, you gotta learn how to use it correctly.
