Top 10 Bread Makers
for June 2023

Zojirushi BB-HAC10 is an affordable, programmable breadmaker that's an ideal choice for most consumers. It used to make delicious white breads, but it has recently improved its baking abilities, and it now makes breads with a wider range of textures, from soft and fluffy to crusty and crunchy. In addition to basic white breads, it makes delicious artisan bread, whole grain breads, and a range of pastries, including quick-bake cakes, cookies, and muffins. The BB-HAC10's control panel makes it easy to adjust baking time, size, and texture, and it includes a viewing window so you can see what the bread looks like as it bakes. The 13-hour delay timer makes it easy to plan ahead, and the programmable features allow you to make different types of breads, cakes, and pastries. The BB-HAC10's 1-pound loaf capacity makes it a good choice for small households, and it can be programmed to make up to four different loaf sizes or three different types of breads. It also has a refresh button so you can make the same recipe again without having to start over. The BB-HAC10 is compact enough to fit in a cupboard, and it's quiet enough to use in the kitchen while your bread is baking. It's a little heavy, and the carrying handle is a bit awkward, but it's otherwise easy to set up and use.

The KBS 17-in-1 bread machine is probably our favorite breadmaker we tested, producing fluffy, delicious breads that were soft and fluffy inside and out. The crust was crispy and firm, and the breads were consistently delicious, whether we were using the Basic, Whole Wheat, or Gluten Free setting. Although the machine is a bit larger than most, its footprint is compact, so it's hardly an eyesore. And the bread machine's set of 17 preprogrammed menus makes it easy to choose a bread recipe. While we could figure out most of the machine's features without consulting the manual, the manual provides clear instructions and pictures for many of the more advanced functions, and it's well organized and easy to read. The bread machine's control panel is intuitive and easy to read, and its delay timer feature saves us the trouble of getting up early for breakfast. The bread maker's 710W motor produces plenty of heat for baking, and it produces pastry crusts as well as braided breads. One drawback: the knead blade doesn't rotate very fast, so kneading takes quite a bit of time.

The Cuisinart CBK-200 convection bread machine is both programmable and programmable, and it has the extra feature (and expense) of a convection feature, which circulates air in the oven so the results are crisper and crisper. The programmable options require a bit of advance planning, though. In order to use any of the baking programs, you first have to enter the type of bread you want to make. For example, if you want to make a loaf of white bread, you have to put "white bread" into one of the four menu categories. There are 12 options in total, including three types of dough and 3 kinds of bread. Finding the specific recipe you want requires scrolling through the menu. The manual states that the recipe for each setting is permanently etched into the machine, so you're not able to change them. However, if you change the crust color, the settings for the 12 pre-programmed recipes will change accordingly. The crust colors include: White, Brown, Marble, Wheat, Sesame, Rye, Multi-Grain, French, Italian, Brown Butter, and Raisin. The crusts bake in 25 minutes, and the bread takes 50 minutes. While the CBK-200 is priced a bit higher than most bread machines, it has many more settings and options than our previous pick, the Oster 2.1-Slice Programmable Bread Maker. The CBK-200 has 16 pre-programmed settings, including the option for three different crust colors, and 3 loaf sizes, including 1.5, 2.25, and 3.5-pound loafs. It also has 3 different dough settings, including basic dough, long, slow cool rises (for chewier textures) and crusty bread. There are over 100 recipes to choose from, including 9 sweet cake and jam recipes, and 4 pizza dough recipes. The manual states that you can make 12 1-pound loaves, or 12 2-pound loaves, or 12 3-pound loaves in one hour. The Cuisinart CBK-200 is also a trickier machine to use. The paddle rotates clockwise, so you have to be careful not to turn it the wrong way. The bread maker also has a light on the top of the unit, and while the manual states that the light will turn off automatically, it didn't for us. We had to turn it on and off manually. The CBK-200 has 4 different crust colors.

The Breville Bread Machine Maker is our third pick for the best bread machine, and it's our top pick for bread machine makers that also have a dispenser for adding fruit and nuts. It has all the core features we wanted in a bread machine maker, including 2lb capacity, 13-hour delay timer, 1-hour keep warm setting, and three loaf sizes: 1.1lb, 1.6lb, and 2lb. It's also very reasonably priced, and it offers lots of customization options. The controls are intuitive, and the LCD display is bright and easy to read. In our testing, the Breville Bread Machine Maker produced the best-tasting bread of any machine we tried. It kneaded the dough well, and it didn't leave any taste or odor. The loaves baked perfectly, and the bread maker took only 1 hour and 20 minutes from start to finish. The Breville Bread Machine Maker is a great choice for anyone looking for a bread machine for making large loaves, or anyone who wants to make a wider variety of breads.

It's a tall machine, and it's heavy, but that's to be expected from a machine that's meant to bake bread all day. The bread it produces is light, white, and moist, and it's one of our favorites, not only because it tastes good, but also because it's easy to make. The bread maker's 14 settings include 3 crust colors, 3 loaf sizes, and 3 loaf shapes, so you can create different kinds of bread, from rustic hand shaped loaves to perfect impressed sandwich loafs.

The bread maker comes with a one kneading paddle, a measuring cup, a dough hook, and a fruit, nut, and nut dispenser, but the bread maker's manual doesn't include many baking recipes. We downloaded a few from an online recipe database, and we tried them out, and they were delicious.

The West Bend Hi-Rise Bread Maker is an attractive, user-friendly bread maker, and it's simple to operate. It comes with clear, step-by-step instructions, and it's easy to use. The bread that it made is light and fluffy, and it made loaves of bread that rose high (something our previous pick, the Hamilton Beach (12-Cup) Programmable Bread Maker, couldn't manage). It has 12 settings for kneading, including basic, wheat, French, sweet, dough, gluten-free, and a custom setting. It also has settings for making dough or bread for 1 pound, 2 pounds, 3 pounds, 4 pounds, 5 pounds, or 6 pounds and 1 pound. The bread maker also has a crust control setting, so you can set it to make light or medium crust. When it's ready, the bread maker beeps and dispenses the bread, which is ready in an hour and a half. It cooks the bread in 1 hour and 45 minutes, which is faster than most bread makers, and it also has an intermediate setting that cooks the bread in 45 minutes. It's a nice feature, but the bread maker's bread tends to burn on the bottom, so it's a little difficult to get the bread out without burning your fingers. Overall, though, it's an appealing option.
