I had a breadmaker but it gave up the ghost! 
It wasn't until after that, that I discovered the pleasure in mking bread the old fashioned way
. I enjoy the kneading and proving process as much as the baking.
Another advantage is that I can make any type/shape of loaf I like and I am not confined to single size & shape. 
PS And it allows me to don my butchers apron or Vinnys Pinny as Veggie calls it!
