The breaking point in this machine.

All bread machines seem to have the same kneading apparatus -- the rectangular mixing container has a small paddle at the bottom, which attaches to the body of the machine. With all the sophisticated computerized options, it all comes down to stress at this one point. I make about two loaves per week, and all my machines have ultimately failed at this juncture. This Cuisinart lasted only two years! I just checked out the 3-yr warranty, and you have to pay shipping costs, which makes me decide to just buy a new one, and start all over again.
