I asked about the Regal K6745S and Magic Chef 310 breadmakers which are
available at Wal-Mart.  Regal advertises the K6745S as ideal for GF
bread.

The recommendations were:

- 3 people like the Regal. It helps to mix the ingredients a little at
     the beginning, but it's not essential
- Nobody had anything to say about the Magic Chef.
- The Oster 5821 and the Zojirushi were also recommended.

Other suggestions:

- call Red Star for advice: 1-800-4-CELIAC
- keep trying machines and returning them, until you find one you like
- the more expensive machines don't necessarily work better
- check Walmart online for specials: http://www.wal-mart.com

I decided to get the Regal for $70.  It looks sturdy, has a strong metal
paddle, and makes a 1.5 or 2 lb. loaf.   It also has a "Super Rapid"
option for only one rising - I figured this was the one to use for GF
bread, since we don't need (or want) a second rising.  But the
instruction booklet said to use the Whole Wheat setting for GF bread -
that's 4 hours long!  I just ignored this, and used the Super Rapid
setting instead.

It worked!  I used the most basic rice bread recipe from the booklet,
and mixed the ingredients in the pan for a few seconds at the beginning.
Then I left it alone, and 69 minutes later I had a very decent loaf of
bread.

So that's 4 votes for the Regal, once you add mine in. :)
