19-in-1 Compact Bread Maker Machine, 1.5 lb / 1 lb Loaf Small Breadmaker with Carrying Handle, Including Gluten Free, Dough, Jam, Yogurt Menus, Bake Evenly, Automatic Keep Warm, 3 Crust Color

I am very fond of fresh baked bread. This bread machine makes homemade bread simple. You just place the ingredients in turn it on and let it do the work. The house smells wonderful, and there are so many recipes that come with it. This bread machine runs quietly. It offers 3 levels of baking the outside such as light, medium or dark. Removing the baked bread is easy. The best part is you know what ingredients are in your bead, it’s never over complicated with things you can’t pronounce. You can also make whole or half loaves.

Easy to use. Makes small loafs of bread. I lb & 1.5 lb loafs. I really like the small loaf sizes.

I have been using this daily for the past two months. How did I live without it?I have tried the included recipe book’s instructions for white bread (delicious, soft, dense (no big air bubble spaces), and good texture for toast and sandwiches).I have tried the included book’s recipe for LIGHT whole wheat (my personal favorite, it is a balance of all purpose flour and whole wheat flour— soft, smooth, dense (no air bubble spaces)— flexible for sandwiches (holds together well but NOT AT ALL TOUGH).I have also tried WHOLE whole wheat recipe and it, too, is marvelous. It is a bit dense, does not rise quite as fluffy (this IS WHOLE WHEAT’s normal characteristics, not detriments!). It tastes delicious. Honestly the BEST tasting of the recipes I have tried so far but the texture is a bit too “whole” for my tastes, but EXCELLENT in its own class!I also have stopped the machine before the bake cycle and baked it myself in my own bread pans in my own oven. I preferred the loaf shape of the oven-baked bread but it was not worth the bother, so now I just let the machine do ALL the work including the baking.The slices are perfect toaster and sandwich size.So each morning, I follow the chosen recipe instructions in the recommended order. With a bit of familiarity it takes me NO effort or bother at all to “throw” the ingredients into the bread pan and then choose the appropriate cycle and size.I WALK AWAY and let the machine do ALL the work.I have been a bread maker for many years and have enjoyed it immensely. But it is a PROJECT when you bake bread without a bread machine. A loving and enjoyable BUT TIRING process involving a LOT of mess and clean up.The machine takes care of all that..How did I live without this bread machine?I love this because our children are gone from home now and we do not need a HUGE loaf of bread. This machine has an option to bake a modest-sized one-pound loaf which is perfect for my husband and I. I bake bread now for others as gifts or as barter payments for fresh eggs or some other exchange. This bread freezes perfectly so I have “baked ahead” a bit. I keep the smaller sized loaves frozen in the freezer, well packed, and hand them out as I wish. I have also sliced the bread before freezing and that works very well, too. Packed well, and with the fresh date in mind, the sliced bread does not dry out, crack, warp, or form crystals.However if you need a larger loaf, this machine has the option of a 1-and-1/2 pound loaf. ALL the included recipes have specific instructions and measurements for the smaller 1-pound OR the larger 1-and-1/2 pound loaf. I’ve tried both sizes : perfect!I have not attempted sourdough yet. Next on the list!Buy this machine. I am VERY satisfied with mine.

Update ..After my review the company reached out withindays & offered a replacement along with a refund. Will update on replacement.Bought for DIL only used twice doesn't heat up anymore..disappointed as it had great reviews

I love it. Used it about seven times and then forgot about it. Rediscovered it last weekend and am now working my way through the recipe book.

So far I am in love with this bread machine. There are a lot of more expensive choices but this is about as good as it gets for the value and quality. I'm a diabetic and you know bread is off the menu but not anymore. This bread machine is budget friendly, compact, well built and simple to use. I bought this as an experiment to bring bread and taste back into my life. The bread I make actually lowers my blood sugar. I'm not a doctor or dietician but I monitor my glucose religiously and this machine with my recipe works. I have made over 20 loaves and each time the bread lowers my glucose. Not raise but lowers sometimes by 10 points or more. Of course you want to eat in moderation and not put anything crazy on it. I am making toast, sandwiches, etc. I was going to send this machine back if it didn't perform but it's exceeded my expectations. Definitely 5 stars and I am very happy with it. It's also easy to clean. I hope this helps someone. Here is my bread recipe...1 cup of warm water.2 lightly beaten eggs.2 Tbsp of room temperature butter.1 cup of vital wheat gluten.1/2 cup of flaxseed meal.1/2 cup of oat fiber.1 tsp of baking powder.1 Tbsp of "instant" yeast. Original or traditional type not the rapid raise type.Optional tsp of salt.Add wet ingredients first with the yeast. Mix dry ingredients and then add. (Set the machine to option 1 original setting, medium crust.)

This bread maker can’t handle recipes close to or above 2 cups of flour. It mixes dough for dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls well…if you’re a busy college student that also works full time and don’t want to spend your days eating artificial flavored food and pastries from the grocery store…then a bread machine might be a great purchase…but research bread makers to ensure you purchase a machine that meets your criteria (size, product material, preprogrammed functions), etc… I own a kitchen-aid stand mixer…but I’m not a pastry chef…and instead of letting the ingredients expire, I love the dump and walk away to do something else convenience that a bread machine offers….

We really like this bread maker—it's easy to use, simple to clean, and runs relatively quietly. It feels sturdy and well-made, though only time will tell on long-term durability. Our only initial complaint was the paddle getting baked into the loaf, leaving a noticeable hole and requiring some effort to remove. However, after contacting the company, they walked me through how to take the paddle out before the baking cycle begins—problem solved! We've recently started a health journey, and being able to bake our own bread without added chemicals is a priority for us. This bread maker makes that possible, and we’re very happy with it.
