KBS 19-in-1 Programmable Bread Maker,2LB Large Bread Machine Stainless Steel with Sourdough,Gluten-Free,Nonstick Ceramic Pan,650W Bread Maker Machine with 15H Timer&1H Keep Warm,3 Crust Colors,Recipes

Ordered this newer model bread maker because there is a gluten free option. I haven’t had a chance to make gluten free bread yet but I made a small loaf to test it out. The directions were easy to follow, there’s lots of settings and options, I like it is more compact than some other models and the bread was delicious. Easy to clean and store and this company has great customer service. Customer service is prompt to respond and helpful with inquiries and truly seems to care about its products, which is rare to find these days.

I purchased the MBF-011 in late February, 2024 to replace a well worn-out 1990’s Breadman machine. I was impressed with the oval shape of the pan that would produce a loaf shape much more like store bought. The multiple settings provided and degree of timing control within those settings is also impressive. I initially made 2 loaves of 1 lb bread, the first a French loaf using the provided recipe book and the second a honey white loaf using a recipe of my own. Both came out evenly baked with a nice crust, and tasty. I did have a problem with the pan being difficult to remove. A twisting motion is required that appeared to require too much force. I contacted John at Customer Service. He quickly responded with suggestions for easier removal and also offered to send a new pan and paddle! The new pan arrived the next day and performed without further incident. I obtained a new MBF-016 that was delivered April 10th, 2024 and I proceeded to compare the equipment and to make some bread. The new model is slightly lighter, 9.2 vs 12.8 lbs. with a smaller motor and single heating element. The new machine provided 19 functions vs 17, and did not provide a fruit & nut dispenser. The new keypad is push button vs touch sensitive. The operating functions are significantly different, each allowing a different degree of control over certain functions. It takes a bit of studying to become familiar with all of them. Fortunately, the “default” settings on both will probably satisfy all but the most adventurist baker. I proceeded to make several loaves in a side-by-side comparison. The MBF-011 had a stronger stirring/kneading motion but the MBF-016 also performed well and did not struggle with any of the breads. Pictures below are images of a honey white, whole wheat, and pumpernickel. All were evenly baked, with a nice crust and good density. The MBF-011 took slightly longer to complete its cycles and produced a loaf that was slightly higher than the MBF-016. A caution: Most of the recipes I have seen published equate loaf size with quantity of flour specified, e.g., 1 lb = 2 cups, 1.5 lb = 3 cups, and 2 lb = 4 cups. I attempted to make a 2 lb, 4 cup sourdough recipe that overflowed the pan. I then tried a 2 lb whole wheat recipe from the provided instructions and it came out fine. The flour quantity, however was 3 cups and the resulting bread loaf was 1 ¾ lb. This is not a major issue for me as I rarely would want to make a 2 lb loaf and it appears that the machine settings are fine for the recipe sizes I have used to date. Overall, both machines performed as expected, providing excellent results for all breads tried so far. Customer service has been excellent. Documentation & recipe instructions are adequate but could use some editing & improvement.

I was given a breadmaker in 1992, used it periodically and then it sat with the move to eat fewer carbs. Fast forward to Covid and making homemade pasta and pizza and other breads. When the original bread pan coating started to flake, it was time to look for a new device - but I needed one that would make pizza dough and pasta dough - finding one that met that criteria lead me to this unit. I was skeptical and tested it over a week for those things that I make regularly - very impressive. I love the options for making a variety of items, in different sizes. The breads have been as I was hoping and the pizza dough (every Friday night) has been easy and delicious. What really has made this standout, is the customer service. After the last batch of dough, I noticed a small area where the non-stick coating was missing. I contacted the company and they responded within 24 hours. I wasn't as quick with getting back to them with photos (did so last night), and today a replacement pan arrived at my door. I highly recommend this unit - gives you homemade bread without having to spend all of the time with kneading and proofing so you can get on with your life, but enjoy the smell and taste of homemade bread.

First bread machine I ever had. I’m a rookie but I found it so easy to use with instructions that are understandable. Easy to clean and operate, good value.

the bread pan is very flimsy/insubstantial compared to all other bread machines I have owned. The notification beeps are very loud and more numerous than necessary. Other than those 2 things, I like everything else about this machine! The mixing is as expected and the bake is very consistent. The ceramic coating of the pan is very slick and I like that the mixing paddle is removable. Be sure to follow pre-use instructions to burn off the stinky manufacture residue. For the price, this is a decent option.

Não funciona. Tentei três receitas que acompanham o produto e não assou nenhum pão. Não recomendo. ⁹

I like to research everything I buy! I looked at every bread maker they make and kept going back to this one. I waited for it to go on sale. It’s the greatest little thing! So easy to work. Tonight I made pizza dough in it. It was delicious and soft! I would highly recommend! Hint! I paid more than what it’s been since Christmas on Black Friday so grab this one if in the market. It takes up no room on your cupboard as well!

I've had, and still have, a lot of fun with this machine. It makes good...ish bread and, since I'm using it to make bread for my work lunches, I use it every week. The thing that really bothers me is, when I got the machine and I put the mix blade in, it got stuck. The machine works fine, but the blade will not come off. When the baking is done and the bread is ready to come out, I have to fight to get it out, and it happened several times now, that the bread got torn apart because of it...

Love this machine! Beautiful loaves. Just what I’d hoped for.

I love this bread machine! I grew up with a cuisinart bread machine, and wanted something that could give me a similar experience for a lower price. This was the third bread maker I have used, and it has never let me down! I use it to make bread, pizza dough, and dough for pastries. Pros: - Multiple different settings - Easy to use - Options to delay start time - Easy to use interface - Comes with instruction manual and recipe cards for each bread setting - Dishwasher safe* Cons: - * I put the bread basket in the dishwasher, and the exterior of the basket is not dishwasher safe, so the metal rubs off when you're holding it. The inside part that holds the bread is non-stick and dishwasher safe. - Since putting in the mixing paddle, it is stuck in there and cannot come out. No matter how hard I try, it cannot budge. So now it is just a part of the bread bucket. Despite this, I can still clean it well without issues. Overall, I definitely recommend!
