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’ve had quite a few bread, machines and this one so far has been very good. Very appreciative of the clear cut instruction manual and extensive recipe book. Nothing is left to chance. I even love the extra paddle, measuring cup and measuring spoon that’s included.I’ve had the Briskind 19-in-1 Compact Breadmaker Machine for a couple of weeks, and I’ve used the dough cycle, the bread, cycle, and the cake cycle. A few suggestions for the manufacturer to improve the product: the viewing window is very small, even though it looks like a large square on the top of the machine, it’s misleading. The actual viewing window measures 3” by 1 3/4”. I keep using a flashlight to peer in as bread is rising. Another improvement would be: make the handle on the bread pan a little higher, since it gets stuck on your bread as you’re trying to remove the finished loaf out of the pan. There’s not enough clearance. And lastly, raise the height of the machine about 2 inches to accommodate room inside for 1.5 pound loaf. Now, the loaf will hit the top of the window frequently as it rises.

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.

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 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.

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!

easy to use. works well

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.

Amazing
