Would you recommend a bread maker? (lemmy.ca)

Y'all have been tempting me with your declious looking bread. I realize a bread machine is going to make simple loafs and not the stuff that's usually posted here, but curious on thoughts if they're worth it?

I'm low on time and lazy. I won't make bread if I have to whip out my KitchenAid and dough hook. Tossing some ingredients in a machine I can do though, plus it could make the dough for more complex things too if I do occasionally have the energy.

Should I do it?

Oh good idea on the dry ingredients, thanks!

Just to add on this, I've had some very bad experiences with second hand bread makers. Many people use it a ton in the first year and then let it gather dust somewhere. The problem is that usually there is a rubber drive belt somewhere within, which might become brittle from the change from being moist to super dry. I've disassembled some, and this was a problem twice, completely disintegrated drive belt. Just fyi.
