I got myself a breadmaker for that same reason, and I'm kind of lazy when it comes to baking. I love the fact that all I have to do is toss the ingredients in, and 3 hours later I have nice fresh warm bread that cost next to nothing to make.
You don't have to knead it? Whenever I try to make bread I find I'm kneading forever and it sticks to everything and I get flour all over then it turns out really dense.
Nope. Just throw the ingredients into the machine and turn it on. my machine won't do anything for the first few minutes then it'll start doing it's thing. In about an hour and 20 minutes later it'll beep to let you know to add nuts/raisins etc (If you so desire) and after that it'll start the actual baking process.
From the time it's turned on it takes 3 hours and ten minutes before it's finished. at that point you can either pop the loaf out or it'll go into 'warming mode" and just sit there and keep itself warm.
I can also do bagels and pizza dough for it, which works well. Saves a lot of the effort of beating up the dough.
Ah! That's my problem, I wasn't using a machine! Just doing it by hand. Maybe I'll pick one up.
They are definitely worth it in my opinion. I picked mine up used from a thrift store for something like $20 just to give it a shot, and I'm hooked. I've have been using it regularly for the last 4 years now.
