Briskind 19-in-1 Compact Bread Maker Machine, 1.5 lb / 1 lb Loaf Small Breadmaker with Carrying Handle, Including Gluten Free, Dough, Jam, Yogurt Menus, Bake Evenly, Automatic Keep Warm, 3 Crust Color

Does exactly what it's designed to do, and does it well! I do enjoy making my own bread, but the constant need to check on everything throughout the entire process stopped me from doing it as often as I wanted to. I also didn't want to spend hundreds on "the best" machine that would be too big for my small kitchen, or worse, not live up to the hype and go unused. I snagged this for 70 bucks on prime day, and it's perfect! I haven't used any other recipes or functions besides basic white bread, but it comes out delicious every time. This machine is quiet, compact, and it is honestly dump and go. It's so easy to use, the settings and instructions are straightforward, and I haven't had an issue removing a loaf once cooked. I will say, the little kneading/mixing paddle does also come out every time stuck in the loaf, but they provide a little tool to pull that out. Based on how it's designed, I'm not sure a loaf would ever be removed without the paddle being stuck in the bread. I'm not sure how other machines may avoid this, but it's a non-issue considering how affordable and well this little machine works! It has a small footprint for my counter, has a handle that makes it easy to move if needed, and it's not too heavy or bulky. It feels sturdy and well made, and I hope this little machine lasts me a long time!

Been wanting to try making my own bread, especially with how expensive it is. This bread maker does it all, which was what I wanted. Throw the ingredients in the little bucket and this champ will mix, need, proof, and bake! Pick the setting and how dark/light you want your loaf and voila! Your own loaf. It takes about 3 hours from start to finish. Also came with a recipe book and so far have made herbed Italian and a light wheat. It makes 1 or 1-1/2 size loaves which is fine for the hub and I. Want to make a long French loaf, no problem…let the machine do the work and remove before it cooks and you can roll into a long loaf and pop in the oven. Also does pizza crust, jams, jellies, fruit breads, etc. only had it a few weeks but so are, loving it!

Love this bread maker! Replaced an older, would not do all functions. So. This is new machine is an absolute delight. Easy to use. Much quieter and quicker. Has a window up top to check on the bread. We got the stainless model and love it. So much smaller than our old machine.

I just can’t say how much I love this small bread maker. It fits wonderfully on my counter, not too large.. I use it just on the do cycle to make dough for my bread for my cinnamon rolls for my pizzas.. It works perfect perfectly.. I have other bread makers that are the full size for 2 pound bread but I just prefer this smaller one because like I said it fits so nicely on my counter. I don’t have to put it away and get it out. It’s just handy. It’s there and like I said, I just use it to make dough. I make my own bread and bake it in the oven

Carry handle really is handy for moving the machine, so it doesn't need to permanently take up a spot on a table or countertop. I have had this bread machine, a little over a year, have been using it several times a week for pretty much every week, I've stopped buying bread and English muffins, I've used the dough function a few times, never used the jam making or cake making function, and since the first week or two, stopped using the hook to remove the paddle (I now just use a needle nose plier). I've had several bread machines before and usually one of the trickiest things used to be removing the paddle from the baked loaf used to be, now I don't sweat over it. I recently found that since most of the times the recipes come out very heavy and those are the ones that retain the paddle in the bread when the loaf is removed from the tub; now I've been varying my mixture, and found that if I start off with more water, the loaves are softer and the paddle remains in the tub. Since after using it for several months, I since have switched from measuring spoons to weight. I calculated the weights of all the ingredients in every recipe, and it's so much faster and more accurate and the results are much more consistent. I weigh the water out in a Pyrex 1 cup pitcher style measuring cup, and warm the water in the microwave for 90 seconds, to counteract the cool/cold temperature of the tub. I found that the yeast activates better if the tub is warm. I also add 2 ounces of either rolled oats or corn meal to every recipe and it makes the flour more even and consistent. The best, most fulfilling bread recipes from the manual, in my opinion were the onion bread and the potato bread. I just used regular potato and regular chopped onion. Once the bread's baked there is no way to see that there was chopped onion in there and it's not an onion flavor, it's just a fulfilling texture added to the bread. Weighing the ingredients directly into the tub with the tub directly on top of my postal/kitchen scale (tared out) is more than twice as quick as measuring everything out with spoons and cups, and as well, it's more consistent and probably much more accurate. I can whip up the entire loaf of bread ingredients on the scale in under two minute; while with measuring spoons and bowls the same thing can take 5-10 minutes. The yeast is always 5g, the salt is several grams (according to which recipe) and the sugar is also several grams, while the flour is according to weight as well scooped directly into the tub. Again, I've found that 1-2 extra ounces of water makes the bread softer and less heavy and allows the paddle to remain in the tub after baking. I have found that I like to swap the loaf out and remove the paddle from the tub about 20 minutes before the end of baking, then flip the loaf over so that the top of the loaf can be toasted against the bottom of the tub (the shaft of the tub puts a small hole in the top of the loaf). The tub and the loaf are pretty hot when I do this so I use a kitchen towel to protect my hands while I perform that operation. I've gone through only about half of the recipes in the manual. My favorites are the potato bread and the onion bread but mostly I just use the French bread - it is the simplest and requires the least ingredients. Also I discovered that most of the yeast for sale these days are "rapid" yeasts and the rapid setting in the machine is over an hour quicker and does work but after I started using more water, I switched back to using the normal baking cycle which is about three hours. I really use the hoop handle to move the machine around. Sometimes I just fill the ingredients, start the machine, and with the basket style handle, I lift it down to the floor and let it do its work. About 20 minutes before the end of the cycle, i take it back up again and open it and flip the loaf. Warning, this usually happens with most of the recipes most of the time. The loaves are softer on the top than on the bottom; that is one of the reasons I pretty much always just flip the loaves over during the last part of the baking cycle. Sometimes if I don't get to the loaf before the 20 minutes and the baking finishes before I can flip the loaf, I just change the program to 'bake only' then set the bake time (it goes from 10-50 minutes) to ten minutes, then I flip the loaf anyway. I think this bread maker is good for one or two people and compact, versatile, reliable and handy. The basket handle to move the entire machine is both unique and surprisingly handy. As I noted, I just start the machine, grab the handle, and lower it to the floor as it kneads and bakes. The cord has ample length to allow this. These features are not on more expensive machines. The paddle does leave a huge wound in the bottom of the loaf and that affects several of the slices on that one side of the loaf. That is the only perceived 'drawback' but all automatic breadmakers have paddles that leave wounds in the loaves that come out of them. I think this machine is better than many of the others, most likely, but I've been using it several times a week for over a year and will continue to use it, I only need to buy flour and I'm still on the same block of baker's yeast that I bought a good number of months ago. I used up the bottle of yeast after those first three or four months. I did use yeast packets during the first month to five weeks I used the machine till I finally figures out how much yeast to measure out in the recipes. Now I don't even measure the yeast, i just weigh it out, it's five grams. I recommend to all machine bakers, maybe even all bread bakers, since beginning to use a kitchen scale, it is much easier and quicker to mix up bread recipes. It does take a bit of work to figure out what your weights need to be, but if you use AI, just ask AI questions like 'how many grams are in a teaspoon of salt?' and the like, those questions will help to get the weight amounts for your ingredients. I didn't do it that way at first, I calculated it myself. I wrote them on a 3x5 index card and keep the card clipped to the recipe book. I also copied my own version of the bread recipe with the weights onto a card and keep that clipped to the book too. Now I just use the recipe with the measuring weights that I made myself on that 3x5 card. My digital scale with the tub directly on the scale works so much better than any measuring cups or spoons. I ordered clear plastic bread bags from Amazon too, a pack of 50 8x4x18, and I reuse one for several loaves, they really come in handy for right before I put the loaves into the refrigerator. These should last me a few months. I got this unit at the end of 2024 and it is now the beginning of 2026; I've been baking at least twice to three or four times a week with the machine and it's going strong.

I was a little hesitant at first to buy this. But I am so glad that I did and this is why. I made three plain breads. Two raisin bread and one banana bread so far. All of it came out so good and tasty. I love the fact that it comes with a cookbook manual so you can do different recipes and you know the time of everything. I have already recommended this to three of my friends. It is so easy to clean and my bread came out perfectly. Planning on getting another one as a gift to my mom.

I bought this because I never use the 2 pound size when I make bread and wanted a bread machine with a smaller footprint.But I guess 11/2 lb. bread in this bread machine is not the same as my full size one.When I used my recipe for the loaf in the Briskind it raised the top before it was fully baked.I guess 1 1/2 lb. bread size changes with the manufacturer of bread machine.I finally adjusted my recipe to 1 pound loaf-It worked perfectly.

This is the best bread maker that I ever had before. The quality of bread 🍞 is excellent. It is easy to take out the baked bread

Last night, I just first tried this bread maker with my modified recipe. The result came out great. Besides, with this machine, the kitchen counter and my clothes both kept very tidy and clean compare with hand-made scenario. I understand some bad reviews regarding the recipes. If you can modify the recipes, then this machine can really help. My ideas/ suggestions are: 1. The maximum bread volum is 1.2 pounds, instead of 1.5 pounds, and choose the whiter color. 2. Try to change all the units of the ingredients into grams , instead of cups, tea spoon,...etc. 3. Practice makes perfect! (I am a certified baker.) Good luck!

Produces nice bread; however, despite the advertising, the paddle does not remain in the machine, and consequently, there is a large hole in the bread after removing it. It's a pity that there is no warning beep before the last rise, enabling the removal of the paddle before baking, like my previous breadmaker. All in all though, I'm happy with it.

easy to use. works well
