I've had an Oster bread machine since October 2014. Looks like I bought it new on Amazon for $62. I bought it to make bagel and challah dough. I don't use the baking part, just the dough mixing part. I don't use it often, just when I'm asked to bring challah to an event. Works fine after ten years but very limited use. Start to finish for challah dough is 90 minutes without me doing a thing. The dough is portioned, braided, and left to rise again for 20-30 minutes and then finished with a egg wash, seasoning, and baked. I almost never make bagels anymore but that's mostly because I stick to a low carb keto oriented diet.
Any bread maker recommendations?

I used to enjoy eating my wife’s bread machine bread when I was still working.
Now that I’m retired and am not a slave to a schedule I spoil us with artisan sourdough bread from our Dutch Oven.
Our bread machine is a nice one but it’s a kitchen tool that I would give away.
Our local second hand stores here have quite a few to choose from.
If I wanted one I’d look there where nice ones are pennies on the dollar.
