Customer Ratings & Reviews

Loved it! My husband got me for Christmas and I’m making delicious gluten free bread. I’m saving money by not using the store bought bread anymore.

I love it. It’s so easy to use. The knead and rise function are great. I wouldn’t necessarily trust the cook ook that comes with it. It has a lot of errors in it.

Its a great product my family loves how easy it is to add nuts and even chocolate chips such an amazing bread machine :)

I love this bread maker. It has made perfect bread from the 1st day.

I had thoroughly reviewed what was on the market available. Automatic dispenser, back lighting for the easy to use menu, light inside the baking cavity & the ability to customize your recipes. This is just a short list. I was worried how difficult the bread pan would be to get in & out. My old bread machine you had twist it. Just sit in place & good to go! No need for two handles. Just follow manufacture’s order of any recipe. I worked for years attempting get the rolls that melt in your mouth. First time out of the gate, success finally! I let the machine make the dough. What a sweet taste of success. Oh so yummy!

So let me start by saying, I am an Operations Manager for one of the largest Commercial Bakeries on the East Coast. When you go to the store you're probably buying one of my loaves. So I know a thing or two about bread. And while I totally believe in the quality of the products my company produces there is something about Fresh Artisan Bread that just can't be reproduced on a Bakery Line. So while I can take home all the free bread I want from work. I had to buy this machine. Because nothing pairs better with a Sunday Family Meal like REAL BREAD. I was nervous the first batch for the first 30 mins or so as I watched it kneading the bread thinking to myself this isnt going to work. And I started having Buyers Remorse. But by the time it started to Proof, I thought OK maybe it's not so bad after all. 2 hours later all my fears were put to rest as I pulled it out of the Machine and placed it on the Cooling Rack. I am now a believer and use this machine sometimes 2 or 3 times a week. As I said previously in the Title, I LOVE THIS MACHINE. AND YOU WILL TOO.

I had a lesser quality bread maker before and it did not last more than 2 years. The quality of the bread was inconsistent, as well. This was a big decision economically because I was hesitant that Breville’s machine would be so different to justify the expense. Well, I am so happy which this purchase. EVERYTHING I have made has turned out much higher than my expectations. The machine is well made, easy to use, and looks so nice in my kitchen when I am baking in it. I have made several different kinds of bread, basic, french, and cinnamon raisin. Today, I made cinnamon raisin buns with the dough function. They look like restaurant quality, but still warm. Right now, I am making the milk and honey bread. The way the machine operates, I am confident I will have it for many years to come, and will certainly offset the initial investment. In this case, I believe you get what you pay for. Highly recommend. Oh, by the way, a 1.5 loaf of bread costs me approximately $.50 :)

I have now made 10 loafs of bread since getting this a few weeks ago. I am so in love with this machine in how convenient it makes it to wake up to warm, fresh bread. My wife is so happy with my decision to purchase this as it a little pricy. Love truly begins in the stomach as she gives me a kiss in the cheek after having fresh bread.

Love this. It makes bread making so easy. Recipes included with the guide and easy to make them vegan with egg replacer and using plant based milk where necessary. Just add the ingredients and let it do the rest. So many nice features on this model.

I like the variety of settings and the fact that the bread has been consistently good. Also the sweet dough and dough for pizza has been terrific. It only takes one hour and i can make the best cinnamon rolls for my family with the dough from this machine. It might be slightly more expensive than other machines, but you have more options with this bread machine.

Great product, with a great price. The capability is right up there with the market leaders, making this an awesome product. The ability to make different size loafs of bread is very welcomed. The ability to add nuts, spices, etc mid cycle is another bonus.Bread Maker Highly recommended.

So I was using another Japanese brand bread maker but it was limited to just a one pound loaf and I was finding that I was going through the bread faster than originally planned. I saw that Breville, which is a brand I really like and trust, made a bread maker that offered 4 loaf sizes. I thought it would give me more freedom to choose the size of loaf that I currently don’t have. Firstly, it looks pretty nice as it’s all stainless steel but I though it would be more sturdy, like several of Breville’s blenders. The steel seems a bit flimsy in places. The lcd screen is nice and easy to navigate. I appreciate the interior viewing window as my existing maker doesn’t have one. It’s a pretty big machine overall but that’s to be expected for a maker that can produce up to a 2.5 pound loaf. I though the mixing paddle was interesting as it could collapse flat during kneading cycles and during baking. That way, there is less of a gap created by the paddle during baking. Using the machine was quite easy. You select the style of bread, the crust color (light, med and dark) and finally the loaf size. It offers 4 sizes…1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 pound loaves. The very thorough instruction booklet also includes a large sampling of recipes. I followed the rapid basic white recipe, and at a 2 pound size. I added the ingredients in the order the recipe suggested, placed the bread pan in position and then started the cycle. I found that the machine is much louder and vibrates much more than my other Japanese machine. It seemed to wander just a bit on the counter while kneading. After several kneading and rise cycles, it started baking. The window let me see the process and I noticed how irregular the dough ball was as it started baking. I probably should have reshaped the dough after the middle rise cycle because the finished loaf was a bit of a mess on top. My other maker never once had this problem and produced a perfect loaf every time. It’s disappointing that Breville’s program didn’t accomplish this as well. Next time, I think I’ll try the ‘light” crust option, as the crust seemed a bit hard with this first loaf. It taste fine but again, the shape and texture are not up to snuff with my other maker. Im going to try a couple of more times and if things don’t show much improvement, I may be returning this unit and just live with the smaller output from my existing machine. I really love Breville but my first impression of this machine is not as glowing as I thought it would have been. Hopefully it will be better on my next bake.

I love this bread maker! Working full time doesn’t leave much room for baking, but with the Breville Custom Loaf I jus add the ingredients, press a button and in a few hours our family has fresh bread.

Makes making bread very easy and did a very good job making bread and dough.

Wife loves it! I love it! Easy to use and works as expected!

Love this bread machine. Very easy to use. Perfect every time.

I was finally able to pick up this hard to find Breville bread maker at Best Buy. I’ve always loved the fit and finish of Breville’s products. A baked a few loaves so far, and they’ve all come out great. I love the collapsible paddle feature. It leaves a less noticeable hole in the bread while baking. A note about the fruit and nut dispenser: raisins seem to get a little stuck in the compartment. I have a feeling nuts will drop much easier. In the future, I’ll just lift the lid and add raisins when the notification bell rings. (15-20 minutes into cycle)

Usually Breville appliances are priced super high. So I was suspicious of the modest price for this bread maker. I started with making simple loafs and now I am working at the more complex recipes. So far this machine has surpassed all my expectations

It is easy to use. Appears to be study construction. We bought it recently. So far we didn't succeed in making a satisfactory (to us) loaf of bread, but it sure is fun trying. There are lots of recipes in the book. (And maybe I should follow directions better? <wink>) They are correct about the need for the vital wheat gluten to make the dough raise better. (We are experimenting with two-cup sizes, which this machine can accommodate.) The lighted window to peek in is a great addition.

[Employee of bestbuy] My gf loves this bread maker. I got it for her birthday. She makes the best bread. We haven’t bought store bread in over two months
