My favourite place to buy small kitchen appliances is the thrift store. People love to buy kitchen gadgets but they don't love to use them, so you can get nearly-new appliances for very little.

Do thrift stores still have good deals. I heard you could buy a bread maker there for like 8 bucks. But that was years ago. From what I heard they are all almost as expensive as Walmart or just out of stock for things like kitchen gadgets.
I guess it depends where you live. Mine are still good in my part of Canada.
Also check other thrift stores. Our smaller one supports a non-profit, we're all volunteers so expenses are low. We get lots of donations so we have to keep our prices low to move items out the door.
Pro Tip: volunteer at a thrift store to get first dibs on incoming items. It's a great perk.
I've been curious about those machines. I see them all the time in my local thrift stores. I normally just make bread in my Dutch oven but I don't always have the time or energy to dedicate to it. Are any brands better than others?
could you just make it with an oven or toaster oven, and/or while baking other food?
