Pros: Makes breads, jams, dough for rolls & pizza, cakes and even sourdough bread!!
Cons: Short power cord. Extension cord of same electrical rating may be used. Controls require learning.
Summary: WHY THE ZOJIRUSHI BBCC-X20 HOME BAKERY SUPREME BREAD MAKER? First, let me point out that I own two wonderful & powerful K'Aid Stand Mixers. Absolutely nothing wrong with them at all. I've made excellent bread dough with them both, and they ...

Pros: Many features, big window, the horizontal shape make it easier to cut for sandwiches.
Cons: Recipe book should be adjusted, good only for big size of loaf
Summary: I bought Zojirushi BBCC-X20 bread machine less than one year ago after reading much about it online. I had my previous bread machine, for a couple of years. It was a different brand and I had no problem with my old bread maker. I fell absolutely in love ...

Pros: Strong motor, cake setting, customizable settings, doesn't blow fuses, never broke a kneading blade
Cons: Sourdough snobs wouldn't like the recipes in the manual. Customizable settings can be confusing.
Summary: I bought the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 bread machine 5 or 6 years ago. I bought it because I was experimenting with an almost-no-salt diet, along with natural-sourdough breads.I make at least one whole grain loaf per week, along with white breads and ...

Pros: heavy duty, user friendly, multi-functional, value for your dollar, makes a 2# loaf
Cons: All that wonderful bread is making my jeans too small.
Summary: Oh my gosh! This bread machine is the best! Ok, so my first loaf came out lumpy and dense, but this was an operator error. The subsequent loaves have been devine. I've found the use of bread flour is important. With that ...

Pros: Solid, quiet and thorough. Just an excellent machine.
Cons: No automatic ingredient feeder.
Summary: Some background...Ever since moving from New Zealand my family and I have struggled with the bread sold in supermarkets. The mass produced bread seems way to sweet for our taste, and the store baked bread is outrageously priced for what you ...

Pros: Quiet, lots of options, 2 paddles for better mixing, and nice large rectangular loafs.
Cons: Larger than some.
Summary: The Background Our first bread machine was purchased used from a for-sale news group about ten years ago, long before Craig's List took off. We drove from NH to MA to pick it up. We didn't want to pay a lot because we ...

Pros: Produces great bread easily with simple clean up.
Cons: Timer could be better and power cord should be longer
Summary: I purchased this bread machine for my wife for Christmas two years ago and we’ve been baking bread ever since. I balked at the price at first ($199) but after tireless online research, the Zojirushi rated tops on just about every site. ...

Pros: Lasts a long time. Turns out great, normal looking bread.
Cons: Can't put pan in dishwasher (is that a problem?)
Summary: I have been using this bread maker for 5 years now. It is truly a workhorse. This bread maker gets used by me at the minimum of 5 times a month. I bought it online at cooking.com in 2003 after having bad experiences with a Sunbeam and and ...

Pros: Preheat cycle
Double Paddles
Pan, more robust than previously described
Cons: Asymmetric loaves
Uneven crust browning
Takes up a lot of space
Summary: We've had our Zojirushi for about a month now and use it on average of once every 3 days. We bought it at a "big box" store that offered a 20% off coupon, which lowered the price by around $40. This is our second bread machine, Our first one is ...

Pros: Taste, options and, well, just a fine product.
Cons: Price, small view window (my DAK had a full glass dome) and size.
Summary: I had a DAK bread maker for over 16 years and it finally died. To find a replacement I did a lot of reading and research and settled on the Zoji. I figure the positive reviews outweighed the negatives by 95 percent to 5 percent. Note that this was from a ...

Pros: The ability to program in three personal cycles.
Cons: Does not brown top of loaf and bottom is HARD AS CEMENT.
Summary: The folks at Zojirushi must have the worst quality control department. Before purchasing this machine I did research for several weeks and about 75% of the reviews I read and received directly were great. The other 25% ran the gamut from "so-so" to ...

Pros: Quick, easy, delicious bread
Cons: Size, storage, price
Summary: I love homemade bread, but I hate the time that it takes to make it. With all the kneading and rising and baking, you would have to start at six to get it done to eat by supper. Not so anymore. Start to finish is three and a half hours with the ...

Pros: Larger Window

Summary: I had purchased the Zojirushi V20 in 2002 and loved it. Perfect bread every time. I wanted to update my machine and thought the Zo would be the only one to choose. WRONG!The crust is terrible,it is so hard you can not chew it.It does not matter what ...

Pros: Easy, delicious. Minimal clean up.
Cons: Storing unit; bread dries out quickly and has a thicker crust.
Summary: This is my first experience with a bread machine. I wanted homemade bread, but didn't want to make five loaves at a time. A bread machine seemed like a good way to bake just the amount we would eat as we needed it. I did a fair amount of research before ...

Pros: Easy to use and makes quality larger "normal" sized loaves.
Cons: I cannot think of any!
Summary: I have never had a bread machine before, and was tired of buying all of the processed breads in the store. Plus, who can resist the smell of bread baking? I purchased this machine about five weeks ago and I have been using it two to three times per ...

Pros: Easy to use, Works unattended, great recipes included.
Cons: Somewhat expensive. Limited number of recipes unless you are willing to experiment.
Summary: I'm a little bit of a health food nut. I was shopping for groceries and realized that every bit of bread in the supermarket has (in addition to other chemicals) high fructose corn syrup in it. I went straight from the bread aisle to the baking aisle ...
