I have one, and I love using it. Usually I only use it to mix and rise the dough for me, since the last time I tried to mix it by hand my wrists were injured for a month. The machine also keeps the dough at just the right temparature for rising, which has always been a problem for me (I don't have an electric blanket - what a stroke of brilliance!).
Then all I have to do is shape it into loaves, let it rise once more (in as warm a place as I can find) and pop them in the oven. If I'm in a rush, I'll let the machine bake them too, but then they come out in the weird bread-machine shape. :)
