We love it! October 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

When our original Zojirushi died (after 15 years), we were on the hunt for a replacement. Since that bread machine we have become empty nesters, so when we saw the mini we thought that would be a more logical size. Yes, we make a loaf more often but we are not throwing any away due to mold - the loaf size is perfect for two days for the two of us. The fact that it takes much less counter space is also a plus. We have tried many different recipes and have been happy with all. Probably the only feature we will not use is the jam making capability as I do jams and jellies in bulk but that was not a selling feature for us. Great things do come in small packages!

Perfect for two! October 21, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

My husband and I love good quality, whole grain breads, and this creates the perfect sized loaves for us.

I had never owned a breadmaker before, so I did a lot of research before buying this one. It was more than I wanted to spend originally, but it's been worth every penny. I've baked six loaves since buying it, and every one has come out perfectly. It takes about five minutes to combine the ingredients in the little pan, pop the pan in the breadmaker, and in 3:40, out comes a perfect little loaf of bread. We've tried different recipes and each has come out with no problems.

I had originally decided to buy a breadmaker because I was shopping at a local grocery (not the one I usually shop at) and needed to pick up some bread. To my astonishment, every single in-store bakery bread contained partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, something we try to avoid. I ended up driving to my other grocery to buy bread, and discovered they'd raised the prices again, to about $4 a pound for in-store made bread. Although economically it will take a long time to recoup the cost of the breadmaker, the control of the ingredients is something I can enjoy right from the beginning. As long as I have yeast, good quality flour, and water, I can always have bread.

Whoever recommended buying BREAD MAGIC and MORE BREAD MAGIC with this breadmaker was spot on -- BUY THEM. We made the buttermilk cracked wheat bread, the rye bread, and a couple different whole wheat grain breads and everything came out beautifully.

It's quiet, compact, and works flawlessly. It's a great choice for those who don't need giant loaves of bread. I plan to make holiday breads to give away at Christmas, to my two sets of parents (child of divorce), my single sister, and my grandmother. This is something I will use every week, if not a couple times a week. I will probably never buy store bakery bread again.

Better loaves than the Zojirushi BBCCX20 September 30, 2008

This machine makes perfectly-shaped, wonderful-tasting bread. I got it after the Zojirushi BBCCX20, with its two paddles, and un-centered dough balls, kept making totally lopsided loaves. This one's perfect. I love it. Small loaves without waste--great if your family is small enough. Much better crust than my Breadman Ultimate, from which I upgraded.

My Mini Zo Arrived! September 26, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

*****UPDATE!!!!

I received my Mini-Zo and am overjoyed. Made my first loaf of basic white bread using the Zoji's recipe. The bread baked beautifully. The crust was crispy but light; the bread was soft with nice little air pockets. Not too dense, not too light but just right!!!

Others have called the loaves "tiny" so I was expecting little child-size play loaves. However, the loaf is a nice size which I would describe as a "half-loaf" of bread. It sliced beautifully and tasted great.

I had two small problems. First, it was difficult for me to remove the loaf from the pan. However, I expect that as I bake more loaves, they will release more easily.

My bigger problem was that darn kneading paddle. It baked right into the bottom of the loaf and I could not get it out. It's still in there and I will remove it when I get to that portion of the bread. I tried removing it while it was still warm, however, the paddle just went deeper into the loaf and I did not want to destroy my beautiful first loaf of bread.

I e-mailed Zojirushi and they immediately responded back. To release the bread, remove the pan and turn it upside down to rest for 10-15 minutes. With regard to the stubborn kneading blade...they advised me to remove the blade at the beginning of the LAST rise after the stirdown. Simple.

Regarding the size of the machine....I would compare it to the size of a KitchenAid food processor. It is surprisingly heavy and well made. It is very quiet and runs smoothly.

Today I placed an Amazon.com order for the bread machine book (Bread Machine Magic and More Bread Magic) that was recommended by one of the other customers. I ordered it because it specifically has recipes for 1 lb loaves. Most other bread machine cookbooks offer recipes for 1 1/2 to 2 lb loaves.

All in all, I am extremely pleased with my mini Zo and so happy that I ordered it online from Cutlery and More with free shipping. I placed the order and the next morning it was shipped out and on it's way to me.

works great for a small space September 12, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I don't have a lot of counter space so this is a good size.
I used it several times since I bought it and I only ended up throwing away the bread (which turned out too heavy and hard) twice. I think that was due to old flour and most likely incorrect proportions of the ingredients. The other times, the bread turned out great. But I have sticking with the soft cycle though.
Clean up was relatively easy.

Its great to use the timer and wake up to the smell of fresh bread in the morning, but I guess any breadmaker with a timer can do that. This is my first breadmaker and it is perfect for my family of 2 so far.

I would give it 5 stars if the price was lower.
