I wouldn't recommend a Black & Decker. They tend to be noisy & clackety. Other than that, if you're only going to be making the occasional loaf, just about any machine will do. You will get better features and options on more expensive brands like Cuisinart and Kitchenaid, but you can still bake a decent loaf with your Sunbeams and Toastmasters.

I was happy with my Sunbeam.

Look for features like time bake (wake up to fresh bread) and horizontal loaf (because vertical loaves are just weird-looking).

Also, butter makes it good! Rub a little bit of butter on the inside of the baking pan before adding ingredients for an extra-delicious crust.
