Zojirushi - Home Bakery Mini Breadmaker - White

Well built, easy to use, compact easy to clean. The Home Bakery Mini Breadmaker's 1 lb. loaf is the perfect size for smaller households to savor the taste of freshly baked bread every day without waste.

This bread machine replaced a 20-year old Panasonic bread machine. For many years I heard that Zojirushi makes the best bread machines, and I'm very happy with my purchase. It makes 1 lb. loaves, which is perfect for our 2 person family. I've used it 3-4 times a week with many different recipes, and all loaves have turned out perfect. The small footprint is nice, as is the carrying handle, since I don't keep the bread machine out on the counter. Other than the bread settings, it has settings for dough, rolls, pizza, soft pretzels, cookies, pasta, cakes, and jam (I've not used these settings yet). This bread machine wasn't available in my local Best Buy stores, so it was shipped to me. The shipping was prompt, and the bread machine arrived in perfect condition.

This is my first bread maker so I can't compare it with others. However, I am extremely pleased with the product! I used to buy bread from the store and not on one occasion I got lumps of dough in the bread, which were not pleasant to eat. This bread maker solved that problem and I get to choose what ingredients go in my bread as well. I am now experimenting with ingredients and I couldn't be happier. It's also very easy to clean and maintain, not to mention it's very portable. The loaf lasts me for about a week - I usually consume 1-2 slices per day.

Easy to use and very quiet. Like being able to choose between light crust or regular crust.

Own a lot of Zojirushi products (rice cooker, hot water dispenser, etc.).

This is my first bread maker, and I was nervous that it was going to be a difficult process, but it's pretty easy. Add the ingredients, press a button, and after some time, you have something edible. So far I've made basic bread and cookie dough and both turned out great! The bread was even better on the second day and stayed soft for several days (the two of us ate it within 3 days). It doesn't make a very big loaf, but it works great for two people. I'm happy I purchased this item and can't wait to make different types of bread or pasta or pizza dough or more cookie dough!!!

I received my Zojirushi Mini last week and couldn't wait to try it this weekend. I have a gluten intolerance and know that bread can be very tricky, even in a bread machine. Having done some research online, I used a packaged bread mix (used half the package and listed ingredients as it was sized for a 2lb machine), and used the "Quick" setting (to avoid the second rise/mix). At first I was a bit concerned as it appeared the dough was not rising, but by the time it was finished baking it had risen perfectly. Using the machine couldn't have been easier. It came with printed instructions as well as an instructional DVD. And, the resulting bread was so much better than any of the store-bought gluten free breads I've tried, both in flavor and texture!

We love this product- we have already paid it off by the money we saved making our own bread at home! The bread doesn't last longer than 2 days so the 1lb loaves are perfect
