Am I the only one who thought the $3 thrift store bread maker was junk?

I grabbed a Breadman machine at a Goodwill in Columbus for $3 last month mostly as a joke, and it sat in my trunk for a week. Ngl I figured the paddle would be stripped or it would bake a brick, but the thing turned out two solid loaves and a batch of cinnamon rolls. Honestly the only catch is you have to measure stuff exact, no eyeballing like I do with everything else. The loaf comes out around 60 cents of flour and yeast, which beats the $5 bakery loaf near me. Has anyone else had a cheap appliance actually hold up, or did I just get lucky?

My grandma had this old hand crank meat grinder she got at a garage sale for like a dollar and it outlived three of her electric ones. She'd clamp it to the counter and go to town on chuck roast for Sunday meatloaf, and the thing never jammed once. Meanwhile her fancy KitchenAid attachment died after two deer seasons. There's something about the dumb mechanical stuff that just refuses to quit. Your bread maker sounds like the same deal, simple guts and no circuit board to fry. Now I want cinnamon rolls and it's 11pm, so thanks for that.
