Love it. - L. Wheeler, Nov 13, 2009

I've made 8 loaves - all different - and one cake. All were 100% perfect. Used timer twice. Super easy to load, then nothing to do but wait. It does take almost 4 hours for bread, so using the timer is best. The cake was apple/cranberry, which we ate at breakfast with cream cheese. A swish with warm water is the only cleanup. I do recommend an electric knife to cut the breads for a cleaner slice. It makes toasty, crispy outsides and soft insides. I don't know how a loaf could be more perfect.

Love it! Love it! Love it! - V. Piere, Nov 09, 2009

I purchased this about 3 weeks ago and probably have used it every other day since then. We love it not only is the loaf small enough that you can use it up in 2 days but the loaves are perfect every single time. I have not had one of them flop or fail to rise properly and I have tried a ton of different recipes. I also purchased a bread cookbook from this site so I have been able to truthfully say it seems to work on all kinds of bread.

Since I have owned 2 other machines previous to this I can say for me personally this is the best bread machine out there.

New Friend - Sta Bene, Oct 27, 2009

I reluctantly gave up my old friend, a Rival Kitchen Pro Breadmaker, which had served me well for more than 15 years as replacement parts were no longer available. After research/reviews I settled on the Zojirushi BB-HAC10 which I have been using for about a month. I have made both bread and dough several times. The results have been entirely pleasing in all cases. The machine is quieter than the Rival and has a smaller footprint. The size of the loaf is just right for my needs. It is as substantial a machine as the Kitchen Pro and I expect it to provide many years of faithful service.

Great Little Breadmaker! - David Sanders, Oct 19, 2009

I bought the Zojirushi BB-HAC10 Home Bakery to replace another unit that was over 12 yrs old. The kids have grown and we could no longer eat the large loaves the old bread maker was baking before they spoiled. And we were also looking for a unit that was smaller than the old one, so we replaced it with this unit.

The bread this new unit makes is superior to the old unit, and is really high quality home-baked bread. I use the wheat recipe and have adapted it somewhat more to my personal taste. I also use it frequently for the pizza dough, and I have used recipes for brioche. Everything I have made in the unit so far has been super!

I would say I am very happy with this bread maker and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality home bread maker.

Great Bread - First Try - P. Jensen, Oct 15, 2009

This is the first bread maker I have owned and I have only made one loaf of bread with it. I expected to have to try a few times and tweak this and tweak that to get a nice loaf, but on the first shot following with directions for a basic regular loaf, I got excellent results.

The machine has many plusses

- Simple simple simple to use
- Clear easy to follow directions
- Hokey, but useful, if you don't like to read, video about how to use the machine
- Makes really good bread.
- Small footprint, and nice small loaf good for one or two people.
- Quiet, I haven't owned a machine, but I have heard one or two others run, this one is quiet.

With only one loaf of bread made, I can't really give you any real negatives. Few things I'll point out.

- on my one batch, the paddle did get stuck in the bowl, no big deal let the pan cool, put a little water in it, and in 5 minutes it came right out. Sounds common among bread machines.
- Had a few small really hard spots on the crust, I think that was just some flower and water that didn't get fully incorporated while mixing and then cooked hard to the sides. No big deal, next time I'll pick them off before cutting and eating.
- No it is not "programmable" like some other machine, so if you want it to add ingredients for you along the way, or you want to change the timing of functions, don't get this machine.

Cleaned up in a snap...

Very pleased and I'll update as I make more bread
