 Excellent 1st Breadmaker May 14, 2008

Couldn't be happier with the performance of this breadmaker. My main purpose for this machine wasn't even making bread to start with. I enjoy making homemade pizza and was looking at purchasing a stand mixer to make the dough. Upon a family members recommendation, I tried this bread machine instead to prepare the dough. Works great! Plenty of power to mix even a drier pizza dough recipe. Not to diminish this machines ability to make a great loaf of bread. My kids even prefer the bread we make at home vs. the grocery store brands.
 Good but not great. May 12, 2008

The Sunbeam 5891 Breadmaker works as well as some other breadmaker machines, but not as well as a few. There are too many to name each and every one here. Since purchasing last month, being April, 2008, I have made quite a few loaves of bread with the Sunbeam 5891. Many adjustments to the recipes in the included book were needed to obtain the perfect loaf, but this is the norm with many of the less expensive machines. But, as with any of the automatic breadmakers, it saves me from having to knead the bread myself, which is a labor of pain with the arthritis in my hands. So, I can enjoy fresh baked bread without the discomfort. I guess it does the job it was purchased to do.
Short loaves need advice May 11, 2008

I like this bread maker and the loaves taste good but they are not more than 6 inches high and a little heavy. I live in a desert area so maybe that has something to do with it. I have reduced flour, increased water and yeast but always get a short loaf. I would appreciate any input.
Machine good- Manual recipes poor May 10, 2008

I was apprehensive about the Sunbeam 5891 because of the many reports of cratered loaves. I carefully measured and followed directions for the test loaf in the users' manual, and sure enough, the loaf fell. Then I tried a basic white bread recipe from Better Homes & Gardens bread machine recipe book and baked an excellent loaf. I tried the BH&G whole wheat loaf on the machine's whole wheat cycle, and the loaf cratered. Baked on the basic cycle, the whole wheat loaf came out fine. By contrast, I had no trouble using the manual recipes for an Oster machine I borrowed from a friend.
Based on my experience, I think Oster, which makes the Sunbeam machine, didn't test their recipes properly on the Sunbeam model. The main difference between the BG&H recipes and the Sunbeam manual recipes seems to be that the BG&H test kitchens used significantly less yeast. Otherwise, I think I'll have to test recipes myself and see what works.

I'm on my second machine - not because I like it so much but, rather, because the folks at Sunbeam sent me a new one when I complained about every loaf collapsing upon itself. The second machine, I am very sorry to say, behaves identically. It doesn't matter if I use less sugar or less salt. Nor does it matter if I tweak the yeast or water amounts. I've used different flour and added gluten, etc. In short, no matter what I do, the results are the same. And beleive me, I have baked many, many loaves of bread with other machine brands over the years. No other machine had this chronic problem.
Here's what happens: The bread will rise fine and begin baking. Somewhere late in the baking things begin to go south. By the time it has finished I always have a loaf that has fallen somewhere between 1/4 - 1/2 below the top of the pan.
Sunbeam must be commended for sending me a new machine months after purchase of the first one but, needless to say, I do not recommend the Sunbeam model 5891!
