Not sure why you need a bread machine? This five minute recipe is about the easiest, most foolproof recipe there is - http://anchoragegourmet.posterous.com/easy-homemade-bread - which was originally published in the book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0312362919?ie=UTF8&creativeASIN=0312362919
But a bread machine has two advantages:
1) Set and forget. It takes three minutes to load the machine, hit start, and clean the measuring utensils. No need to worry about when to take out, etc. You can also set many recipes with a timer so you can wake up to fresh, hot bread.
2) You can make an infinite number of delicious types of bread.
1a - can't argue with that other than the pride of doing it yourself.
2a - I figured listing an infinite number of recipes would be overkill.

My Zo is a very old model - bought when bread machines first came in vogue.

You can also use a large rectangular pizza stone, or sheet pan to make other kinds of breads. If you have a stand mixer, I don't see the advantage of also owning a bread maker.

Seems like any Goodwill store would have a large selection, the ones that millions of us got for Christmas in 2004 and no longer use. If you're in Chicago, I've got one you can come pick up.
freeradical, the advantage over a stand mixer is not having a bunch of wet gloppy stuff to clean up. Mix goes in; bread comes out; machine is ready to use again.

Noble savage use spoon and fire.
I like those oval lumps at Longhorn.
