ZOJIRUSHI BB-CEC20-BA Home Bakery Supreme Breadmaker

Pros: I bought Zojirushi machine in Nov 2010. The bread recipes included are really good. Each of these breads is delicious. Newegg customer service is outstanding. I got machine 3 days after I placed my order. My calls were answered in very professional manner and the support reprehensive was very helpful. I got even reimbursement for shipping cost of broken equipment to the Service Center.

Cons: The bread maker had some intermittent issues from the beginning. It was making vibrating noises that usually lasted 2-3 min at any time during the cycle regardless of what cycle was selected. 2 weeks after I started using the machine I called Zojirushi Technical Department and after initial testing done over the phone I was told that noises are normal and might disappear over time. The machine stopped working completely 2 months after the purchase (the mixing paddles stopped rotating). I called Zojirushi again and they recommended sending it to one of the Service Centers. It’s already over 1 month and noone can provide me with the date when the machine will be fixed. Every time I hear it’s going to be next week. Zojirushi Customer service informed me that 2 to 3 months repairs are normal. I spent over $200 and do not have any breadmaker. Zojirushi Customer service was not helpful at all. .

Overall Review: I do not recommend this breadmaker.

Pros: Does everything I need. Really easy and intuitive to use for a beginner like myself.

Cons: None that I can think off.

Pros: - Good build quality - Makes great bread and pizza dough - Easy to operate - Variety of bread settings including wheat and sour dough starter

Cons: - Pretty big and heavy but it's to be expected

Overall Review: I had a smaller 1lb Zojirushi breadmaker and upgraded to this top of the line model. It offers more bread settings and even a sour dough starter setting. Very easy to operate. Makes great bread. Built like a tank! I'm happy. :)

Pros: Recently i pulled out of my garage My Oster bread machine, it is an old model approximately 12 years old. It worked fine but the bread came out very crumbly. In doing research I ascertained that the machine was not mixing the ingredients enough. As i was researching the Zojirushi name kept coming up as the best rated. I was put off as it seemed to be so much more than most other brands, But decided to purchase it while it was on sale. It was a tremendous decision. This machine is built so well that it stands out as complete quality. The whole reason I have started to bake bread again is because Store bought bread is so expensive. Most decent breads run up words of $4 dollars a loaf. But my end product had to at least be as good as the store bought in flavor and texture. This machine not only does that It creates bread that is far more flavorful. I believe it is due to the two kneading blades, and horizontal pan that makes real loaves.

Cons: Absolutely none.

Overall Review: With dual blades to develop the Gluten, and all the presets,and even 3 programmable profiles. it is definitely robust enough for any heavy bread you may want to make. A 13 hour timer allows you to set it up to have fresh bread in the morning when you get up, or ready for dinner. Don't let the price scare you away. At full price it is a bargain.

Pros: I owned a "lower end" breadmaker for 3 years, and when it died, I upgraded to this one. Wow - absolutely top notch. The bread texture is better, the loaf has a great shape, and the machine itself is so quiet and solid. Most of all, while it is easy to use from the get go thanks to their programs, you can program your own settings (3 separate programs) which is excellent as you get more experienced. I would never recommend any other brand.

Cons: None yet. Simply excellent.
