Bread machine is one piece of cookware I never buy,
It does not make any sense and potential foodsafety hazard.
Consider keeping  eggs, milk, butter at the  perfect condition
for 8-10 hours.
Then the technical issue:  the bread proof (rises) at 37C and
bake at 175C,  we should keep the bread at 37C and place in
175C oven when it is ready. The bread machine  really destroy
the  bread's proper texture.
Yes, you could use the machine for  kneading the dough only,
then you are buying a machine for single task and it is quite bulky.
Do not waste money on that.

I don't have a bread machine, however I do have a  Thermomix
that would make almost any dough in 2-3 minutes---- bread, mantou,
steam bun, noodle, pasta etc

There are some bread, i.e.  Foccacia, does not require
much kneading. All you need is a large mixing bowl and a wooden spoon
and a pizza pan.

I was the judge for the Skills Canada National Competency Contest 2 weeks ago,  
3 student competitors  brought their Thermomix with them. They are  students too.

My idea is that, if you are going to buy a bread machine just for
mixing the bread dough, might as well buying a basic model of
Kitchenaid mixer. It is powerful  and multi-task, lasting a very long time.
The base model  costs around $200  in Vancouver. Much cheaper in US.
or you get lot of option on ebay, bidding from $50. I  got a Bosch on ebay
for $80, very powerful. But I like the Kitchenaid better.
