Ranked #6 in Best Bread Machines

3.8

3 sourcesall derived$89.89as of Aug 1

The Briskind 19-in-1 Compact Bread Maker runs 19 programmed settings covering breads, jams, and yogurt. It takes 1 lb and 1.5 lb loaves, with a 15-hour delay timer and automatic keep-warm function. It has also been recalled: the plug doesn't meet standards and poses a fire hazard, and it isn't compatible with 230V electrical systems, which rules out the UK and EU markets. Serious Eats reviewers found it limited next to premium models like the Zojirushi Home Bakery Virtuoso Plus, which delivers superior results.

Strengths

— 19 programmed settings for versatile baking including breads, doughs, jams, and yogurt
— Capable of baking 1 lb and 1.5 lb loaves suitable for small families
— Includes 15-hour delay timer for scheduling fresh bread at desired times

Watch-outs

— Not compatible with 230V electrical systems (UK/EU markets)
— Recalled due to fire risk from non-compliant plug and overheating concerns

Cuisinart CBK-110 Compact Automatic Bread Maker

4.4

The Cuisinart CBK-110 Compact Automatic Bread Maker takes up little counter and asks little of you, which is why it suits small kitchens. Reviewers noted consistent bread quality and sturdy construction, with one calling it a favorite after testing multiple models. It does need extra attention in the early stages of a recipe, and dough consistency sometimes needs adjusting. Beginners and anyone short on kitchen space who want reliable automatic bread making are the fit.

Strengths

— Compact design fits well in small kitchens with minimal counter space
— Easy to use with clear program settings and LCD display
— Produces consistent bread quality with even baking and good dough mixing

Watch-outs

— Sometimes requires extra flour to achieve proper dough consistency
— 2-pound recipes don't always fill the pan completely
— Mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips may need manual addition at specific times
