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!

A great gift from me to me for baking my homemade breads. Now I know all the ingredients in my bread that I am eating.This machine is so cute and just the right size for me to use to make a small loaf of fantastic bread. It is easy to use and instructions for use come with it along with a bread cookbook. I will be using this quite often for my bread making of all different kinds of breads. Easy, peasy!

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

Excellent little bread machine! I have owned this for a month and have made 5 different types of bread for my family and friends so far. We prefer the light color setting (softer, fluffier) and so far the Italian herb parmesan is the favorite flavor. You must read the instruction manual, measure very accurately and add ingredients in the listed order. With that said, ten minute set up and perfectly baked, chemical free, delicious loaf every time. The miniature 1 lb size is still plenty for a family of four for 3 days on the counter top or up to 10 days in the fridge (reheat in air fryer is awesome). You need oven gloves to twist and remove after bake cycle, it gets very hot. Very good value and bread. Highly recommended

I'm a kitchen gadget nut. I have been using bread makers since the late 1980s and have used many of them, as I'll often pick up one (for fun) at thrift stores. In general, I think a good machine is one that consistently produces a decent loaf of bread. Unfortunately, I have had some issues with this machine. But let's look at the positives and negatives of this machine. Positives: This machine is small, much smaller than just about any other machine that I have used. It comes with some extras, including a second kneading blade, which can cost $15-$20. It has many different programs for different types of bread. Negatives: The pan is very small; in my opinion, it is too small. I understand that this machine makes a 1-1.5 pound loaf, but it still needs to be 1" or more bigger. The recipe book is large, but the quantities are added with many ingredients, requiring the use of multiple measuring tools. For instance, it may say 2 cups and 2 tablespoons of flour. That's not so unusual, but it does it for many of the ingredients, which seem like they just took a bunch of recipes and then scaled them down. This is a hassle and doesn't always work well. The biggest problem is that it tends to overproof on the 1.5-pound loaf and underproofs on the 1-pound loaves. I tried the white bread recipe in the book multiple times with various minor changes, such as reducing the yeast or adding a dough stabilizer. Typically, the bread would either be completely overproofed and expand well beyond the pan. When using a 1-pound loaf recipe, the bread would be the opposite, too compact and underproofed. I also used some proven recipes I have had success with in other bread makers, with similar poor results. See my photos. I think many would be better served with a standard, regular-sized bread maker. If you want a smaller loaf, get one with a vertical pan, as it can accommodate both small and large loaves with ease. You can always make a larger loaf and freeze half if you're a single person or use less bread. Just my two cents.

I purchased this bread maker solely to be able to easily make my own dark pumpernickel bread at home. Store-bought bread isn’t worth it anymore. The 1 lb loaf is perfect for one person and is enough for a few sandwiches or days worth of toast. I’ve used the rye/pumpernickel recipe in the book that comes with the machine, as well as the King Arthur dark pump recipe for bread machines, and the bread has come out perfect each time. Although, I prefer the King Arthur recipe - it’s more flavorful. It takes about 3 hours and bakes evenly. The bread has a chewy crust and moist, even texture that holds up well to toasting, grilling, slicing, and barely softened butter. It also freezes well. The smell is amazing while it bakes, and I love the ease of being able to just add the ingredients and press a few buttons when I want homemade bread. I don’t miss making bread by hand. The machine doesn’t take up a lot of room and is easy to take a part and clean. The stainless steel looks great in my kitchen. I had my eye on a comparable high-end, compact, Japanese bread machine that is hundreds of dollars. For the price (under $100 at this writing), you can’t beat this Briskind bread machine. I highly recommend. Buy it.

I have been using this daily for the past two months. How did I live without it? I have tried the included recipe book’s instructions for white bread (delicious, soft, dense (no big air bubble spaces), and good texture for toast and sandwiches). I have tried the included book’s recipe for LIGHT whole wheat (my personal favorite, it is a balance of all purpose flour and whole wheat flour— soft, smooth, dense (no air bubble spaces)— flexible for sandwiches (holds together well but NOT AT ALL TOUGH). I have also tried WHOLE whole wheat recipe and it, too, is marvelous. It is a bit dense, does not rise quite as fluffy (this IS WHOLE WHEAT’s normal characteristics, not detriments!). It tastes delicious. Honestly the BEST tasting of the recipes I have tried so far but the texture is a bit too “whole” for my tastes, but EXCELLENT in its own class! I also have stopped the machine before the bake cycle and baked it myself in my own bread pans in my own oven. I preferred the loaf shape of the oven-baked bread but it was not worth the bother, so now I just let the machine do ALL the work including the baking. The slices are perfect toaster and sandwich size. So each morning, I follow the chosen recipe instructions in the recommended order. With a bit of familiarity it takes me NO effort or bother at all to “throw” the ingredients into the bread pan and then choose the appropriate cycle and size. I WALK AWAY and let the machine do ALL the work. I have been a bread maker for many years and have enjoyed it immensely. But it is a PROJECT when you bake bread without a bread machine. A loving and enjoyable BUT TIRING process involving a LOT of mess and clean up. The machine takes care of all that.. How did I live without this bread machine? I love this because our children are gone from home now and we do not need a HUGE loaf of bread. This machine has an option to bake a modest-sized one-pound loaf which is perfect for my husband and I. I bake bread now for others as gifts or as barter payments for fresh eggs or some other exchange. This bread freezes perfectly so I have “baked ahead” a bit. I keep the smaller sized loaves frozen in the freezer, well packed, and hand them out as I wish. I have also sliced the bread before freezing and that works very well, too. Packed well, and with the fresh date in mind, the sliced bread does not dry out, crack, warp, or form crystals. However if you need a larger loaf, this machine has the option of a 1-and-1/2 pound loaf. ALL the included recipes have specific instructions and measurements for the smaller 1-pound OR the larger 1-and-1/2 pound loaf. I’ve tried both sizes : perfect! I have not attempted sourdough yet. Next on the list! Buy this machine. I am VERY satisfied with mine.
