    The best bread machines for under $100 are all available at your local Goodwill, Salvation Army or other charity store. $10-$20 is a typical price, and frequently they are complete, including the instruction book, and lightly used after their former owners went on a diet or decided it was just easier to keep buying bread from their local supermarket.
