Actually she does, but not in her book. She likes the Zojirushi S-15 and the
Welbuilt models. GF dough is very tough and needs a strong motor and paddle.
It also needs a cooling down fan unless you plan to be present when it's
done (to take it out).

There was a lot of discussion on the list back in December, mostly near the
end of the month.

This was discussed a bit in mid-December.

>Can the washable parts be put in a dishwasher?

No. Except for maybe the paddle which is small enough to wash by hand.
