Advantages: The most interesting features of the appliance are the additional functions for preparing yoghurt and butter. The yoghurt is kept at a temperature comfortable for bacteria from 6 to 8 hours. The butter is whipped in an hour. Both modes provide homemade, safe foods that can be safely given to children.
disadvantages: Unfortunately, there is no indication of the cooking phase, and the signal does not sound very loud. For example, after the end of baking, the keep warm mode is immediately activated, and it is not clear whether the bread can be taken out or not.
  
Test result
For baking a white loaf, we have chosen a recipe for table bread with butter and milk powder. It turned out to be a very homemade, unusual bread with a delicate crumb and crumbly crust (photo 1).
Kulich (photo 2) we prepared according to the manufacturer's recipe, adding components in two stages. The first tab was kneaded for about 15 minutes, then, on a signal, we introduced the second batch of products. The cake came out lush, ruddy and very tasty.
Honey mustard bread (photo 3) was also a success: it turned out to be a beautiful loaf with a pleasant complex flavor.
Functional
 Programs: Russian chef, main, special, French, fast, dough, cake, jam, yogurt, butter.
The traditional theme for the manufacturer is the availability of programs for national dishes, in this case, the "Russian Chef" mode was created for baking rye, pumpkin, honey-mustard, sour cream bread, kulich and other types of bread according to your recipes.
The special mode is designed for rich baked goods containing a lot of sugar, fat, cheese and eggs. To prepare white bread, use the main mode. Judging by the recipe, all three of these programs are the same, the only difference is in the intensity of mixing.
The Quick Bread program lasts about 2 hours.
The "Dough" mode is mainly used for making yeast dough, the process takes just over an hour. But the collection contains a recipe for yeast-free pizza and dumplings dough.
The most interesting features of the device are the additional functions for preparing yoghurt and butter. The yoghurt is kept at a temperature comfortable for bacteria from 6 to 8 hours. The butter is whipped in an hour. Both modes provide homemade, safe foods that can be safely given to children.
Features of work: as you can see, the device does not have a viewing window, perhaps for someone this is a drawback. But there are no heat leaks either, look how beautifully the loaves are browned on top. Perhaps this effect is also provided by the height of the lid, which is 8.5 cm.
The model is equipped with an automatic dispenser, it allows you to add dried fruits, nuts and other components to the dough on time without user intervention. The dispenser is especially handy when using a timer. In some programs, the function is turned on automatically, if necessary, it can be canceled.
Loaf: 500, 700, 1000 g. A little more liters of yoghurt and about 200 g of butter can be prepared in one cycle.
Bucket: very unusual, almost square at the base and high (internal dimensions WxDxH 145x135x170 mm). Pleased with the material (it is thicker than usual) and the granular coating. The loaf is compact and tall.
If you are baking Easter cake, it will look quite acceptable, especially in icing or dusted with icing sugar.
The butter is prepared in the same bucket, a blade is placed, cream is poured, a plastic cover is put on top. For yoghurt, the set includes a special form with a lid made of transparent smooth plastic. This form is put inside instead of the main one.
 Control: the entire panel has Russian-language signatures.Settings are made by touch buttons, a program is selected from the menu and an indicator lights up opposite the corresponding program on the panel. Next, the degree of roasting is selected, it is reflected on the display by the letter (A / B / C), together with the mode number it looks, for example, like this: 1A. The size of the loaf is not entered.
Unfortunately, there is no indication of the cooking phase, and the beeper does not sound very loud. Because of this, you will not immediately understand what is happening in the oven. For example, after the end of baking, the keep warm mode is immediately activated, and it is not clear whether the bread can be taken out or not.
The timer is designed for 13 hours, it turns on in all programs, except for making cake, jam, yogurt and butter.
Comfort
This is the most intelligent bread maker of dough, you can't hear it at all, it works neatly, so there was simply no need to put it in order. The bucket is well attached inside, easy to remove.
A very massive lid - 8.5 cm high. The dispenser for additives is located under the main (black) lid (it is securely fixed), no problems with loading nuts or raisins: pour in, close the lid. The oven will drain the components by itself at the right time.
Another nice little thing is a magnetic pocket, in which you can store basic recipes and they will always be at hand.
Care: minimal - the black lid is vulnerable, there will be types of pollution on it. The inside of the device is not dusty.
Power cord: brought out on the right, length 1.1 m.
Instructions: detailed, details of work, programming method, advice for beginners. The user is offered about thirty bread recipes, 9 dough recipes, muffins, jams. The algorithm for preparing yoghurt and butter has been thoroughly explained.
For baking rye bread, the manufacturer provides a sourdough recipe, which I have never seen before. This is an adapted version of the classic method, it takes longer than usual, since the sourdough matures for 18 hours.
It is not very convenient that the measure of a part of the components is given only in cups, for example, 5/8 of a cup of sugar (the volume of a cup, by the way, is indicated as 230 ml), it would not be bad to duplicate in grams for accuracy.
Aesthetics
The stove is quite nice, the design is neutral, the only thing is not entirely clear why the lid is black. But if you have black glass ceramics or a kettle in your kitchen, everything will fall into place.
