Weren’t bread machines all the rage because you just dump in the ingredients and it’s autopilot from there? I see a lot of them at 2nd markets and in dumpsters, so I wonder if their usefulness was overestimated.

Maybe? I dislike them because a mixer and an oven do much better and are easier to clean. I don't even know if they can make bread with a starter.
