Good for gluten-free bread
I bought this at WalMart for about $35 and use it occasionally. We've been happy with it. I've found that it works well for gluten-free bread recipes (most often the Red Mill mixes). Honestly, I've never used another bread baker for gluten-free recipes, so I have no point for comparison, but the loaves have come out relatively fluffy (which is a real "plus" for GF stuff, which usually is like bricks) and they are not over cooked. This item has a one-year warranty, and I imagine that if it were used on a regular basis, it would probably last about a year. It's pretty solid, but even with the little baking that we do, some of the Teflon has already worn off the loaf pan and the little paddle.
One caution -- make sure you pay careful attention when you program your baking session. There's no "reset" button and the only way I found to correct a setting mistake is to unplug the machine and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
I have used the one-hour "quick" setting once, and I wouldn't recommend it. The loaf didn't come out anywhere near as nicely as with the regular cycle, which takes around three hours.

Not the greatest but good for the price.
For the cost of this bread machine I would recommend it. If you do not mind paying a higher price I suggest getting another machine since the results in this machine are not always the best, but will do for the price.
