The Progress EK4219P has several notable features. We particularly like the advanced scheduling features. One of these is a 13 hour delay timer, letting you schedule baking well in advance. The second is a 60 minute keep warm function which keeps the temperature up after baking. We like the large viewing window and the LCD display, both of which make the breadmaker easier to use.
