• The recipes in the free recipe booklet come with odd measurements (for example 16^th or 32^ndcups)
• This bread maker is rather large, it measures 13.4 x 9.1 x 14 inches

• The bread machine comes with 2 kneading blades which assures that even heavy cereal wholemeal bread will have a consistent output.
• The nickname ‘Hi-Rise’ (referring to dough that rises ‘high’) has been confirmed to be right.
• Not mentioned in the instruction book, many users recommend you to run the machine empty the first time you use it. This is to avoid a ‘plastic taste’ of your first few loafs.

• This machine is also described as ‘programmable bread maker’, take note that you can’t program your own ‘homemade cycle’.

The CBK-200 Cuisinart Bread Machine, can produce bigger loafs than its ‘brother’ the CBK-100. Besides the bread size we’d like you to be aware of the following feedback from users;

This Zojirushi bread maker is specially developed for the smaller households and very well received by its users. In fact it has only received 4 and 5 star ratings in Amazon. This is what users say;

• As this unit only produces one pound loaves it is ideal for for small households who love freshly baked bread.
• An uncommon option; you can choose you bread textures; regular, firm, or soft.
• But don’t get fooled by the description ‘Programmable bread maker’, you can only select different bread cycles and not program your own homemade cycle.

• It us a rather big machine and needs quite a lot of counter space.
• The machine seems to have excessive vibration during kneading.

The Oster Bread Machines have not made it into the top 10 best selling bread makers but are definitely worth considering for the beginning bread  makers. Do consider the following customer feedback from users;

•  A number of users complain about ‘collapsing bread’. It seems that this bread machine is very sensitive to right amounts of liquids. The measurements in the recipes provided with this bread maker are not always accurate.
• One user gave some great bread troubleshooting tips; When the loaf turns out to be a brick; you need to add more water and a bit more yeast. When the loaf hit the lid or collapses, you need to (slightly) reduce the water. When you dough doesn’t rise, you could add gluten.
