Zojirushi bread machine

Any one own 1 of these?

I like the rectangular size loaf instead of that short square.

Looks like it should be a good bread maker

@SharkE We own two of these. Love them both, but the smaller one has never made a bad loaf of bread and we've had it many years.

The big one is great too, but you have to be more careful with it or sometimes it will make a lopsided loaf. Not the worst thing, but the little one is about fool proof. It is the older model with the handle.

We have had a Hitachi (1992), a breadman, and these two and the Zo's are the best. We have had them since these models came out and both are the first generations.

I hate spending that much, but, I'm a bread lover and in winter time it's hard to find a warm, draft free spot to raise my own homemade bread.

My sister is handing out xmas money already I may take her contribution and add to it and treat myself.

I have had one for years. I don't always use it for baking the bread, however. Many times I just it for the dough cycle, and form rolls or baguettes and bake them in the oven. In cooler months, I use it weekly. I have the rectangular one.

OH BOY! I will say that if you can find a good price on one, I highly recommend the older with the handle mini. It makes great bread and if you don't need big loaves, it is the way to go! We use ours all the time.

One thing, they only come in white!

Forgot to mention we make strawberry (or other) jam in this one pretty often. It is GOOD!

Thanks! I got the Cuisinart one, but, it makes those short stubby loaves

Didn't know they had a machine out there that makes bread the way it should be. I'll get it eventually. LOL

I have the little one and it’s the best bread maker I’ve found. I also have their small rice maker which is also terrific. Can’t say enough about them. They are really top notch

I have one, and it makes good bread.I have had mine 3 years. I see someone here wrote that sometimes the loaves are a little lopsided, I check it and it can be made even. I bought mine from Amazon, and if you go on there, there are alot of people making remarks. I live alone, so cut the loaf in half and freeze half, just as good when it comes out. I had a Dak for years and it made the best bread, but went out of business.

I am not a bread machine person, but I have ALWAYS heard nothing but very good things about the Zo brand. If I were looking, that would probably be one of the very first brands I would check.
