Zojirushi BBCCX20

Pros: Makes breads, jams, dough for rolls & pizza, cakes and even sourdough bread!!

Cons: Short power cord. Extension cord of same electrical rating may be used. Controls require learning.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend it!! It's great, works wonderfully, eliminates using the stove's oven for some things, and makes wonderful bread!

Review: WHY THE ZOJIRUSHI BBCC-X20 HOME BAKERY SUPREME BREAD MAKER?

First, let me point out that I own two wonderful & powerful K'Aid Stand Mixers. Absolutely nothing wrong with them at all. I've made excellent bread dough with them both, and they...

Pros: Convenient, excellent quality results

Cons: none

Review: Just over a year ago we replaced our computer with one where we could get Internet access and I have loved it ever since. It is only natural then that when my 15 year old breadmaker die that I would surf the Internet to check out what was available...

Pros: huge loaves of bread; easy operation; comes with excellent recipes

Cons: "add things" beep disabled if you open it; flimsy non-stick coating; eventually broke down

Review: We never quite got around to making fresh bread, but we thought a bread machine was just unnecessary. Then a friend of ours got a bread machine and started raving about it. We gave in.

We did our shopping for bread machines the way we...

Pros: Easy to use, Great breads, Reliable brand

Cons: Cost more than I like spending on a kitchen appliance

Review: This process is so easy I could not believe it myself. To learn about how you too can make lots of dough keep reading on...

Ha got you hooked, now that you are here, you may as well finish. Yes, you will learn how to make lots of dough but...

Pros: Simple, flexible, great recipe book

Cons: Beaters occasionally hard to extract/clean, wheat cycles need recipe adjustments

The Bottom Line: It's a great device. Recommended.

Review: Well, I seem to be reviewing everything else in the kitchen cupboards on this trip (flights to Hong Kong are great for this sort of stuff), so I might as well chime in on the bread maker scene as well.

I got the Zo (as we call it) as a...

Pros: Programmable baking cycles, heavy duty motor which mixes the ingredients very well, easy to use

Cons: Crust does not bake thoroughly. Wheat setting does not have crust control. Pricey.

The Bottom Line: I would not recommend especially if the user does not make a lot of bread. The price is high considering the quality of the bread I have experienced so far.

Review: I am a very heavy bread machine user and have gone through at least 5 machines over the last 15 years. This is my first Zojirushi and I wanted to treat myself since all the other brands I had previously had wore out quickly and I always ended up...

Pros: ease of use, strong, quiet

Cons: family weight gain

Review: I got this product because we love fresh bread but my son has allergies to milk and soy, so it makes it difficult to buy bread at a bakery.

I love this breadmaker, it is so simple, yet works great!!!

You just dump the ingredients...

Pros: Horizontal loaf, two kneading paddles handle whole wheat with ease. Very easy cleanup.

Cons: Machine is large. Crust can brown slightly unevenly.

The Bottom Line: This bread machine has the power to make very hearty bread, and is easy and pleasant to use.

Review: This is my first bread machine ever, and as a Christmas gift, I am really enjoying it. Since receiving it, I have only bought bread once (a loaf of French for French onion soup). Now, I look forward to making my own bread.

My husband had...

Pros: Lasts a long time. Turns out great, normal looking bread.

Cons: Can't put pan in dishwasher (is that a problem?)

The Bottom Line: Based on my experience, this is the only choice in breadmakers.

Review: I have been using this bread maker for 5 years now. It is truly a workhorse. This bread maker gets used by me at the minimum of 5 times a month.
I bought it online at cooking.com in 2003 after having bad experiences with a Sunbeam and and Oster...

Pros: good bread

Cons: bad machine

Review: I wanted a good bread machine and was willing to spend for it; I read the reviews and bought this one. The shape of the machine is what sold me. It is small and fits well in my kitchen. If it fits, it will get used.

The bread is...
