I use mine (an Oster; you’ve probably seen the model at Goodwill many times) several times a year. Sometimes it is fun to have nice big slices of breakfast bread. My sister uses hers most often to make pizza dough.
But my LAST breadmaker? I lent it to my aunt when she was taking care of my invalid grandmother, who was soy-allergic, and used it several times a week to make bread. She wore that thing out; I used it twice after getting it back, and it flashed a ERROR sign and just gave up and died.
