Truly Excellent April 26, 2008

I've never owned a breadmaker before, but after reading a lot of reviews I settled on this model. Zojirushi is a brand that I trust, having owned a few of their products over the years. I've now had the mini breadmaker for a few weeks and made 5 loaves of bread with it, and I couldn't be happier. All of the breads I've made have been from recipes in the book, but every one of them has been great! And the loaf size really is perfect for one or two people.

I've been making extensive use of the timer and either waking up, or coming home to freshly baked bread. I can't imagine needing to buy bread anymore, and a recipe for buns is included as well, so no more buying 8 buns when I only need 2 or 3 (and left over dough can be frozen for next time).

There are only a couple of negatives that I can see with this machine. First, there is no sourdough recipe included, whereas the 2 lb version does offer one. On a similar note All of the additional recipes on Zojirushi's website are also only for the 2 lb model. I'm sure more recipes will be available over time for the mini though, and even though the 2 lb model is only a few dollars more I would still buy this model for the smaller loaf size.

One of the best thing we bought! April 25, 2008

When I told my husband that I wanted to get this breakmaker he said that I was crazy. He thought it was way too expensive and he said that it was way too small. Well, we received it yesterday and I have made two different breads already. It's so easy, you just pour all the ingredients on the bowl in order listed and push a couple of buttons and done. Just wait for the delicious bread. My husband loved the bread and begged me to make another one today. This is a perfect size for us and the 1 lb loaf is so cute and is really way better than the store bought bread. I have done extensive research before buying this one and have read someone complaining about the hole on the bottom of the bread, which for our opinion is not a big deal. We still eat the whole entire bread and they have great texture and taste great. The instructions included are very clear and easy to understand. The blade does get stuck after I remove the bread, which came out very easy, but after the bowl has cooled I just fill it up with water and leave for like 15 min and voila! Its non stick pan is very easy to clean. Now I can't wait to try other recipes and also try the cake, jam, cookies and pasta. We are really very happy with this purchase. And it fits on our overcrowded countertop! We love it and highly recommend this breadmachine to everyone!

I don't buy bread anymore; I make a loaf every other day with this thing. It's easy to clean, easy to set up, and it makes delicious bread. I live in a small apartment and this device is a godsend. I wish I had one of these in college.

Our daughter has food alergies that make this machine a real boon for her. She uses it quite often and she is very happy with it.

I have used breadmakers for many years now. My last one died about two years ago. In the search for a replacement, I read many reviews and looked at the various options in stores. The Zojirushi BB-HAC10 Home Bakery 1-Pound-Loaf Programmable Mini Breadmaker turned out to be the right choice for me.

The Zojirushi is relatively quiet and its compact size allows it to fit nicely in a limited space. It has a nice appearance and will fit well into most kitchens. Its operation and many options make it easy and fun to use.

My breadmaker came with a large white label on the right side (not shown in the advertising) that provides a recipe and instructions for making basic white bread. I did not remove this label as I felt leaving it there would provide me readily available assistance should I need it. If it gets to look ugly, I can always remove it.

The mixing paddle is relatively small and thin compared to the paddles on other breadmakers. While it does make a small hole in the bottom of the loaf of bread, the small profile of the mixing paddle makes the hole unobjectionable. Initially, I had some difficulty removing the mixing paddle for cleaning until I discovered there was a tiny hook on the breadmaker shaft that helps retain the paddle while you remove the bread from the bread pan. Counter rotating the paddle slightly allows it to be easily removed from the bread pan shaft.

The bread pan can be removed, inserted and locked in place very easily. The design allows you to place all of your ingredients in the bread pan prior to placing the pan in the baking chamber. This is a nice feature as it prevents the mess of ingredients ending up in the baking chamber, particularly if you are like me and tend to be messy.

The Zojirushi comes with an instruction manual that has a variety of recipes that cover most of the types of bread or cakes that you would like to make. I strongly recommend following the recipes in the book exactly until you are comfortable with the bread making process. Once you have a good understanding of this breadmaker, you can modify the existing recipes or make your own to meet your unique taste. I have not had a bad loaf of bread or cake since using this breadmaker (please note the importance of following recipes exactly).

This breadmaker makes a rectangular loaf of bread that provides a slice of bread that is about 20 percent taller and slightly narrower than a commercial loaf of bread. It will provide you about 8 to 10 slices of bread depending on how thick you slice the bread. I slice off both ends slightly thick to make a fresh and tasty hamburger bun.

The Zojirushi is at the high end of the price range for breadmakers. However, in this case, you get what you pay for. The design, quality, and construction of this breadmaker make it well worth the price. It provides a large variety of options for making bread, dinner rolls, cakes, cookies, pizza, croissants, jams and even meatloaf. If you are serious about having fresh bread every few days (or daily if there are two of you), then this is an excellent choice.

I have had the Zojirushi BB-HAC10 Home Bakery 1-Pound-Loaf Programmable Mini Breadmaker for approximately 45 days. I am extremely pleased so far with my purchase. I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone desiring a quality and compact breadmaker.
