My Panasonic bread maker is used quite often. I love the smell it gives off whilst in the baking cycle. I have played around with the recipes in the appliance book and can get some really light crusty French type bread out of it as well as some Italian type bread that uses olive oil instead of butter.

I made a really dense loaf once, that was because I forgot to add much water and made a concrete hardened biscuit!!

I have a Kenwood Chef A901 here in full working order with all of its attachments. It was used yesterday to make mashed potato! It is fairly unique as it was one of the engineering prototypes that was given to my dad many years ago. It came with a prototype Thorn microwave oven complete with added thermocouples inside. Was used as the lab experimental and evaluation unit just before domestic microwave ovens were to start taking off. Still going strong!
