Since I received my Zojirousi I have baked a loaf of bread every day, Each loaf of a different recipe, all turned out great.

Amazing

Don't know why I waited so long, but good thing I did....got the best bread machine out there. Sure beats doing it the old fashion way. Great bread, perfect sized 1 lb. loaf so the bread is always fresh. Great baking pan....no flimsy aluminum here. Unless you have a big family, don't know why you would want a larger machine sitting around and taking up space, since this little one does it just right. Goof proof at that. Built to last.

Wonderful

This little bread maker is perfect for a 1 lb loaf. I have ranted and raved about it to anyone who will listen, and since I have shared the bread with many, they have all heard about it. I plan on giving it as a gift.

Bread Machine

This is my first bread machine and I love it. Just mix the ingredients, close the lid, set the timer, and go about your other business. I chose the one pound because there's only two of us and I thought two pounds would be too much. I like the options presented. My bread is looking better each time I experiment! I'm glad I purchased this machine.

Great little bread machine!

My first bread machine was a Welbilt bought in 1989. It had a 1-lb capacity and did a great job until the pan and paddle wore out (and replacements were no longer available). I replaced it with a 1.5 lb Black and Decker machine that was never quite right, especially with recipes other than its own. The larger capacity was more than I needed, too. Now that it has finally failed, I turned back to a 1-lb machine and recently bought the Zojirushi. It's funny to think that what was standard size 20 years ago is now considered "mini." I have only baked two breads so far - one from the recipe book that came with the machine and my old favorite from another cookbook - and both turned out perfectly! I like the crust control options - a feature I have not had on previous machines - and the fact that my loaf is just the right size. If I get 10 years' use from this machine as I have with my others, the price is less than $20 a year - can't complain about that!
