producing half baked "brick" without possibility to continue baking unless you would wait for Zo would cool down. Besides it bei
Let me start with short review of Breville's competitor I had an opportunity to try before buying this piece of home magic.My dear husband gave me an expensive Zojirushi as a B-day gift. I was exited to test it, but the recipie from the booklet failed immediately - bread was lumpy, tasteless and rock-hard. We've gave it another try and tried a cake recipie from the book, and it failed again, producing half baked "brick" without possibility to continue baking unless you would wait for Zo would cool down.Besides it being a lemon made in China (not in Japan, as expected), it also looks and feels like "Hello, housewives from 80-s!" with tiny dark lcd display, bulky body and colorful booklet, which looks more like a childrens book (not just because it is colored, but also by the mentoring tone some adults use with children - many repeats, minimum useful information, colorful simplified schemes and attractive pictures...). My guess, the model was not updated for the last 20-30 years, except the smooth buttons (a la 2000's) and gluten free option, which probably was an encoding for some other modern trend from the past and now was just renamed for the sake of health consciousness buyers. There is no ways to modify pre-set programs and only three options for custom recipies, where you can choose only order and number of steps, but not the time or temperature. There are no crust settings for Wheat! I guess everybody in Japan like their wheat bread made only one way... I was more than disappointed not only by bad quality, but by Zo's intend to standartize my baking and limit my creativity, the true essence if cooking. We've returned it without regrets.So, now about Breville. Compare to the traktor-like Zo, this is a top notch Rolls Roys. My first try of milk and honey bread from the booklet turned to be amaizing, tasty and exeeded mine and my family expectations (see photo). The bread was soft, spongy inside and with evenly golden artisian crust outside. The machine itself looks modern and stylish, with huge lighted display, easy to read text and icons, intuitive navigation and fancy buttons. The booklet is full of quite useful information, tips, tricks and recipies. Compare to Zo, it has only one paddle for bread, but it is collapsible and there is another paddle for the jam included. Nice feature Zo was missing, is fruts and nuts dispenser, which this machine has on the detachable cover. But most importantly, this beauty has a magic button "Modify", which can change any pre-set ptogram to your desite for the length of each step and, where applicable, for the temperature as well. There are 9 custom programs you can keep in Breville's memory for some of your favorite recipies, or your experiments. I have not tried it yet, but I believe it could be programmed to be a yogurt maker or sourdough starter. The pickaboo window is big enough to catch moments where you may want to add liquid or flour during kneeding, and there is a light inside to see how bread is breathing and rising.A few cons, which might be disturbing for some, but does not downgrade my opinion about this breadmaker:1. the signal has a higher pitch, but you can turn it off.2. It moves more and noizier compare to my old Toastmaster or Zojihushi. However, it has rubber pads on the legs, so I doubht it may walk away from my countertop one day.3. Collapsible pad would require better cleaning and some practice to put it in the open position while adding ingredients (mine was collapsing, so I had to hold it with a spoon while adding liquids).4. Stainless steel frame is a fingertip and drops magnet and would require periodic cleaningDespite these minor nuances, the result beats the minor inconveniences. I am happy to have this model as my B-day present and my husband loves it even more!P.S. Accidently found a trick to switch from light to medium crust without restarting the programm - close the dispenser before baking step.

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2022
Color: Stainless SteelVerified Purchase
I'd like to offer insights not already covered by other owners:
Like other Breville appliances, this bread maker uses a multi-function rotary switch for navigating and changing the values of various settings. This is a faster, easier method than keypad buttons used on other machines. This machine has a high level of features and settings, so this choice of interface really shines. There's also tactile metallic buttons that perform single purposes, (Ex: Oven light), and their layout and size make them unambiguous. This layout, and the large, easy to read black-over-white LCD display are friendly to old duffers like me who don't appreciate scrambling to find our glasses to use an appliance. Also, the important buttons have an illuminating halo ring that changes color to indicate they are, or are not available for use depending on the present state of the machine's cycle. Another clever detail.
A word on the folding paddle angst some owners have expressed:
Complaints relate to seizing, cleaning or aesthetics of the 'hole' in the bottom of the loaf . . really?
I lube the thing with olive oil prior to use. I also place a cup of hot water in the baking tin w/paddle after it cools to soften remnant dough, then use the edge of a common dish brush to clean away baking remnants. Cleaning takes seconds not minutes - far less time than complaining, and if a small hole or gash in the bread your about to digest troubles you, consider meditation or a therapist.
Things to like:
1. Widest range of loaf sizes of any machine I could find.
2. Oven light is awesome - not critical, but a really thoughtful luxury.
3. Fruit/nut dispenser a plus.
4. 850watt rating - most powerful machine I could find.
5. Fixed and folding paddles provide for a wide range of uses.
6. Greatest number of custom program settings and memory for personal recipes.
Lastly, and surprisingly important,
7. The manual/recipe book is a real quality item. Thick, glossy pages, spirally bound so you can open to a recipe and it lays flat. It is made to be in a kitchen. Most other manufacturers completely cheap out at this point. The many recipes are a great starting point for spectacular personalized custom loafs.

A note on price: Welcome to inflation. I had to pay $300. Who WANTS to do that? I didn't, and first I bought a KBS import special with a fancy glass top for $150. But on only the second loaf, that machine's wimpy motor started to make unhealthy sounds and got returned.
On the other hand, my 6-7 year old Breville espresso machine, juicer, and countertop oven function as perfectly today as they did in 2015. Coincidence? Maybe, or it shows value for the prices paid - who's to say.
In the end, performance and longevity are more important to me than low price. Once the money is spent, it's easy to forget the pain as long as the product excels year after year.
O.K., time for a perfect crusty dill rye for Reuben sandwiches. It's a ripper :)
P.S. If you haven't tried Bob's Red Mill Artisan Bread flour, there's a real pleasure waiting for you.

My dear husband gave me an expensive Zojirushi as a B-day gift. I was exited to test it, but the recipie from the booklet failed immediately - bread was lumpy, tasteless and rock-hard. We've gave it another try and tried a cake recipie from the book, and it failed again, producing half baked "brick" without possibility to continue baking unless you would wait for Zo would cool down.
Besides it being a lemon made in China (not in Japan, as expected), it also looks and feels like "Hello, housewives from 80-s!" with tiny dark lcd display, bulky body and colorful booklet, which looks more like a childrens book (not just because it is colored, but also by the mentoring tone some adults use with children - many repeats, minimum useful information, colorful simplified schemes and attractive pictures...). My guess, the model was not updated for the last 20-30 years, except the smooth buttons (a la 2000's) and gluten free option, which probably was an encoding for some other modern trend from the past and now was just renamed for the sake of health consciousness buyers. There is no ways to modify pre-set programs and only three options for custom recipies, where you can choose only order and number of steps, but not the time or temperature. There are no crust settings for Wheat! I guess everybody in Japan like their wheat bread made only one way... I was more than disappointed not only by bad quality, but by Zo's intend to standartize my baking and limit my creativity, the true essence if cooking. We've returned it without regrets.
So, now about Breville. Compare to the traktor-like Zo, this is a top notch Rolls Roys. My first try of milk and honey bread from the booklet turned to be amaizing, tasty and exeeded mine and my family expectations (see photo). The bread was soft, spongy inside and with evenly golden artisian crust outside. The machine itself looks modern and stylish, with huge lighted display, easy to read text and icons, intuitive navigation and fancy buttons. The booklet is full of quite useful information, tips, tricks and recipies. Compare to Zo, it has only one paddle for bread, but it is collapsible and there is another paddle for the jam included. Nice feature Zo was missing, is fruts and nuts dispenser, which this machine has on the detachable cover. But most importantly, this beauty has a magic button "Modify", which can change any pre-set ptogram to your desite for the length of each step and, where applicable, for the temperature as well. There are 9 custom programs you can keep in Breville's memory for some of your favorite recipies, or your experiments. I have not tried it yet, but I believe it could be programmed to be a yogurt maker or sourdough starter. The pickaboo window is big enough to catch moments where you may want to add liquid or flour during kneeding, and there is a light inside to see how bread is breathing and rising.
A few cons, which might be disturbing for some, but does not downgrade my opinion about this breadmaker:
1. the signal has a higher pitch, but you can turn it off.
2. It moves more and noizier compare to my old Toastmaster or Zojihushi. However, it has rubber pads on the legs, so I doubht it may walk away from my countertop one day.
3. Collapsible pad would require better cleaning and some practice to put it in the open position while adding ingredients (mine was collapsing, so I had to hold it with a spoon while adding liquids).
4. Stainless steel frame is a fingertip and drops magnet and would require periodic cleaning

Despite these minor nuances, the result beats the minor inconveniences. I am happy to have this model as my B-day present and my husband loves it even more!

P.S. Accidently found a trick to switch from light to medium crust without restarting the programm - close the dispenser before baking step.

I only bake gluten free (GF) bread. Been doing it for years. I bake 3-4 loaves a week. Recently I decided to switch to a bread machine. This machine produced an excellent GF loaf - on the first attempt! It comes with a detailed book (thick and spiral bound) that gives you everything you need to know like times and temps of each cycle, step by step directions and some recipes. You can create your own homemade bake cycle by programming your unique settings. My only small complaint: the view window is pretty small. Quality control was bad for me. The first machine I received had a piece of black rubber stuck under the glass of the screen. It obscured the read out. Returned it. The second machine wasn’t sent in a shipping box. Arrived busted up and scratched. Returned it. My bad luck. Check your machine!!

5.0 out of 5 stars !!!!! THIS THING IS EFFIN GREAT !!!!!!

I've made probably close to 50 loaves of bread in a few months and it just amazes me how great this maker is. I had another brand before and it didn't even come close to comparing it to this one. Yes, it's a bit pricey but well worth it. I haven't had any issues with the paddle and it's easy to take apart and clean. I take very good care of the maker and it hasn't let me down yet. I really should do up a video on how to clean the paddle as it seems that some people are having issues with it. If you're going to spend a few extra dollars on this make sure you treat it well. You only get out of it what you put into it.

I love that it makes horizontal loaves and the bread is easy to remove once baked. I use the 2 lb size and after I take the loaf and cut it straight down the middle then flip each half on it's side and cut the slices...you get two loaves of bread doing this.

I've experimented with making various flavors and it always comes out amazingly delicious: Use the directions for the 2 lb setting and add the following after all the ingredients are in:

-Cheese Onion Bread: Add 1/3 cup grated old cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons dried Onion Flakes
-Parmesan Basil: Add 1/3 cup parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon Basil
-Bacon Cheese Bread: Substitute butter in recipe with the same amount of bacon grease and add 1/3 cup
grated cheddar. Add 1/4 cup bacon bits (fresh cooked it the best)
-Parmesan Garlic Onion: Add 1/3 cup parmesan, 2 teaspoons each of garlic powder, onion powder,
oregano and basil

Make sure you read the how to care portion of the manual and follow it. I've read some of the reviews and it seems that some people have are not following the clear instructions they give you. At that point do not use those reviews to make a decision on whether to buy it or not. They are completely invalid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent results and easy to use

I use this bread maker twice a week at least to make whole wheat bread and it yields perfect results every time. I love the preheat feature which allows for a lovely rise and enjoy the lay flat paddle. I will say the paddle does not always work and sometimes stays up but this is not a big issue for me as it's quit skinny so it affects very little of the bread in general. I bought this to replace my broken Cuisinart bread maker and I couldn't be more pleased. The only concern I have involves the cleaning of the pan. There are 6 plastic circles at the bottom of the pan which get bread stuck around them. Cleaning that area is annoying and time consuming. Not annoying enough for me to take a star off but something you should be aware of.

Separate from bread this also makes excellent dough and I am a rock star at home right now because I can make cinnamon buns regularly with little effort on my part.

This machine is far superior to the Cuisinart in my opinion. The texture and quality of the bread is much better. Our 100% whole wheat loaves are light and fluffy and my family has been eating it without complaint. A great way to keep everyone healthy and save money in the long run as it's far cheaper to buy ingredients and bake it ourselves. If you're looking for a new machine this one is solid and shouldn't let you down.

Our last bread maker finally died after about 20 years. I bought Breville because of the quality of the brand. My wife has used it several time since the purchase and she is over the moon with its features. It is somewhat more expensive than most bread makers but one should be willing to pay for quality. I highly recommend this product!
