Love the compact size - much smaller and lighter than my previous Cuisinart Bread machine. REALLY like that it displays what the beeps mean - i actually got the paddle out before the bread baked! Great job on baking my 2lb bread and making dough (just like my old one, despite the smaller size and lighter weight!) Excellent purchase!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We have made several types of bread since buying the compact bread maker, all have which have been a great success. We are extremely happy with our purchase. The loaves of bread are the ideal size as there is never any wastage.

I was able to use my bread machine to successfully make bread twice and on the third use, the paddle broke. This gets two stars because I thought the bread and recipes provided were good enough. Cuisinart being a well-known brand, I was highly disappointed that the paddle was not fully made of metal.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience — we’re glad to hear the bread and recipes met your expectations, but we’re sorry to learn about the paddle issue. The paddle is designed to include durable components, and ensuring it is properly seated before use and removed after each cycle can help prevent stress or damage. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8900515028, so our Consumer Assistance Center can review your concern and assist with next steps.

I just made my second bread, oatmeal bread. It came out delicious.
The first one was the white bread. Just follow the recipe on the enclosed booklet, and the machine does the work.

Recipes need help

We received the compact bread maker as a gift. It makes good bread, but the recipes provided aren't useful at all. We initially used quick-rising yeast and the bread did not turn out, so we tried regular dry yeast thinking it would help. No luck. We finally tried using recipes from our old bread maker (West Bend) and the bread has been perfect. Your recipes seem to be way off.

Weak motor

It’s not powerful enough to mix a 2 lb loaf and the recipes are way off in the manual. Very disappointed. Weak motor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your feedback — we’re sorry the unit didn’t meet your expectations for mixing larger doughs. The motor is designed for standard home baking, so heavier doughs may require smaller batches or manual assistance to achieve the best results. Our Consumer Assistance Center can provide tips for optimal use or discuss support options at 1-800-726-0190. Please reference Ticket #8900519845 when you call so we can assist you further.
