2 lb.
The reason I purchased this particular machine was d/t the 2 lb. capacity. I have a date nut loaf recipe that I tried. I mixed the dates & nuts together w/ the flour first before putting it in the pan. The dates & nuts weren't distributed very well & the batter itself turned out heavy compared to the traditional way of preparation. I'll try a few other different recipes to see how future loaves turn out.

Not the greatest
I received this as a gift and was very happy to try it. I have had it now for over a year and had to have it replaced twice due to it malfunctioning. But my biggest complaint is the wheat bread always sinks in the center while baking and turns out like the picture shows. I have made the Oatmeal recipe with no problem, but the wheat recipe never turns out. I even bought new wheat flour in case that was the problem, but this picture is the result. I measure everything carefully; I even test the temperature of the liquids and still the bread turns out like this.

Amazing Small Bread Machine
The machine is small and doesn't occupy a big space space, which was exactly what I needed. The loaf sizes are perfect (1 lb, 1 1/2, and 2 lb). The recipes are easy to follow and the machine does everything: you just put the ingredients in order and that's all. Also, it’s easy to clean it as well. Highly recommend.

Best Bread Every Time
I have wanted a bread machine for a long time and boy does this one not disappoint! It is the perfect size and looks great if out on the counter. Making bread could not be easier in this machine. Just follow the directions provided and you’ll have a perfect loaf every time. I cannot recommend this machine enough. It’s fantastic!

Not impressed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Four loaves of bread I baked with your recipes were thick, difficult to cut, and they didn’t taste good. The machine during first knead makes a really loud almost popping sound. Going to keep trying to make bread in it but may just put it in a garage sale. I had a bread machine years ago and it make awesome bread - was hoping this one would also but so far, not happening.

Perfect for Beginners
I love this bread maker. I love that it is compact so it doesn’t take up much counter space. I have recently gotten into baking and this is the perfect starter bread maker.

Good bread maker
I purchased this bread maker to replace a previous one. Easy recipes and instructions. I particularly like the delayed baking. I start it at 11:00 PM for 11 hours in the future and the bread it done at 10 AM.

Small but Good
Bought this based on recommendation from America's Test Kitchen. I don't have a lot of counter space but wanted a bread maker. This fit the bill. I've made 4-1.5 lb loaves so far; 2 white and 2 oatmeal. I used the recipes from the included booklet. The first loaf of each type of bread wasn't perfect but tasty nonetheless. A few tweaks to each recipe helped and I recommend this product.

My first unit was a B&D in 1981. It lasted 41 years. This unit has proven steady and capable. I used the dough setting first and simple French loaf second. Dough was terrific. French loaf should have been dough setting as well. It was pretty dense according to the instruction book that came with the unit. I’ll try again

Perfect for two
I have been making one loaf a week which is plenty for two people. I love how I can pour in the ingredients, press a couple of buttons and come back to a lovely, tasty, fresh! loaf of bread. I bought a less expensive machine because I wasn’t sure if bread making was something I wanted to do long term. It’s perfect for our needs.

Best Automatic Bread Maker around
This bread maker is excellent for making breads. We use it exclusively for making Gluten free breads of all kinds. We had one for 4 years and recently bought a new one as our original was still working but the paddle and bread container had become scratched due to our rough handling and cleaning...and instead of replacing those parts we decided to purchase a new one. I would recommend this machine to friends, familiy, and co-workers.
