This is by far the best and only bread maker you will ever need. I have yet to find a bread or dough recipe that this machine cannot handle. The only thing that would make this Bread Machine better is if it could add the ingredients itself, and be completely autonomous. Worth every penny and the 3 week wait for it to become available again. Stop looking and researching buy this now.
I bought this model because it has salt-free and vegan settings. I like the machine except that the nonstick finish is rubbing off from the little discs on the sides of the pan, which means I've been eating it. I wish I had bought a model with a stainless steel pan.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This machine is absolutely fantastic. The bread comes out perfect every single time following the provided recipe book! Our family uses it every day, we have fun trying out new custom recipes! I highly recommend this product by Zojirushi!
I chose this bread maker from its high rating and the ease at which it is to make bread and clean up. It has lived up to expectations. I'm never going back to buying bread in the store!!
I couldn't resist the pun in the title . Honestly, that's how I feel about it! I have been baking bread with my stand mixer for the last 15 years and I wanted an easier way. I didn't know HOW easy it would be though. I literally timed myself this morning making the basic white recipe and it was 6 minutes to get it going. I am suddenly making bread and dough WAY more than I ever was and I love it. So glad I bought this!
I am absolutely impressed with this bread maker. I have had a very nice Panasonic for years and have been really happy with it. But, now I am baking with Fresh milled flour and I wanted a machine that I could do this with without ruining my Panasonic. This machine has given me the most beautiful loafs that are way better looking snd tastier than before. I like that the loaf is shaped like a loaf of bread and the lid also has a heating coil in it for a really even temperature all around. I also like that you have 3 custom spaces so you can make your own settings for your home milled flour. I can’t be happier!
