I am not much of a baker, but fresh bread seemed like a great idea, so I purchased the Zojirushi BB-HAC10. I don't like to spend a lot of time preparing food, making this machine a great match. For basic bread, it takes 5-10 total minutes to retrieve my ingredients and add them to the baking pan. 3.5-13 hours later, fresh warm bread is ready for eating. After a 5-minute cleanup, the machine is ready for another loaf.
It's a bit on the pricey side at $$$, but I find good value in the home bakery. I am also impressed with the quality of the breads and cakes the machine produces. I have tweaked the quantity of certain ingredients to adjust flavor, but the texture is always perfect.
