I have had 3 bread machine in the last 40 years and use it regularly I make 100% whole wheat bread and I love it and other. My current machine is by far the best Hamilton Beach. I had a DAK and some other well known brand.
I keep my bread in the fridge because there are no preservative. It
will spoil on the counter....
Mine bakes beautifully so no need not put in oven...
Some of the recipes that came with it were not accurate and some on their web site were not accurate, But I figured it out.
Most have problems in higher altitudes. Try making small loaves at first.
Good luck and keep us posted with your results!!
