    I have bought this heat gun before. It is cheap and noisy but powerful and EASY to mount.
    No idea on the bread maker. Seems very close to the Breville large loaf.

      The BM looked a bit flimsy last time I looked at one.

          Id seen someone else noted K-mart clearing out their Homemaker bread makers for $29, so I made sure I took note when wandering through my local store yesterday afternoon... sure enough, piles of them clearing out for $29.

          Anyone know if the Homemaker BM has the attributes required to make a corretto? Specifically, does it have a dough setting that will just mix for the required time? Im not technical enough to be doing mods to the circuitry!

            Hi Damienh7 , lm using one atm and it works fine.....lm a newbie to roasting , but have done 3 so far and no problems at all .
            l use the "dough" cycle , For the first three minutes it pulses, for the next three is stops for 2 secs every 30 secs then youve got 14 mins of constant mixing .
            The first parts of the dough cycle dont appear to affect the roasting at all as the beans ramp up in temperature evenly and l get a nice even roast
            lm thinking of buying another as a spare as lve drilled a hole for my temp probe in this one .......so no waranty cover, but @ $29 whats to lose?
            Cheers Ken

                        Those are the ones. The center left one is what was available at my local store. Not a bad scale for the price. The last one I bought was half again as much and had a max weight of 500g, a smaller platform, was all plastic, and had a display that is a tenth the size. It did however have a higher accuracy and used 2 AA batterys so it ran forever before they had to be changed. It will be interesting to see how long the battery lasts in this one seeing as its a single 2032 button battery.

                            $29 lower than last years price. Not $29.

                              TG, if were talking about the Homemaker BM at K-Mart, they are definitely selling em out for $29.
