I've made many loaves of bread so far, and I've been very pleased with the results. The directions are easy to follow, as is the machine itself. It's small and wouldn't work well for a family since the loaves are tiny, but it's perfect for my husband and me. There's no waste, and the bread lasts a couple of days. I can't think of a downside to this machine.

Comments:
I highly recommend the 1 lb Zojirushi from Abe's of Maine. This was my first bread machine and first purchase from Abe's. For over 30 years, I had always hand kneaded my bread plus I'd rarely bake anything in the middle of summer heat. I've had my unit a year now & it hasn't found its way into storage as it is right on the counter where I first put it and it looks great. Its small foot print is such a nice space saver for our tiny kitchen. The 1 lb. loaves are bigger than you think! Love the versatility of various bread texture settings & so easy to bake a cake from scratch. The machine is programmed to give perfect results - cornbread that is like real cornbread, french that is chewy like french bread, cake that is light, not like a bread trying to be a cake. It is such a pleasure to use, doesn't heat up the kitchen, easy to clean, safe to use around elderly & kids, fun to watch while in progress as has see-thru window on top! Well designed machine that was worth the investment & the best deal was with Abe's.

This little unit (makes 1 lb loaf) makes a wonderful loaf of bread. It is just the right size for 2 or 3 people. Has several different settings-easy to use. Highly recommend
