I really like my bread machine. I'd really like it if it weren't in the basement! It is a Zo as well and the results have been amazing. Although I don't use it as much as I'd like to, I sure love the results I get when I bring that machine up those stairs. Pizza dough! Add the ingredients and walk away. The crust is amazing. I have a Kitchen Aid Mixer and use that as well. My brother who is a carpenter told me once long ago - if there is a tool that can do the job better and quicker, you better buy it! I have followed his advice!
