Zojirushi Home Bakery Mini Breadmaker BB-HAC10 review

The Zojirushi Home Bakery Mini is the pick for small households, even though it ranks last on value. It bakes a 1-lb vertical loaf, which Zojirushi says makes about 5 sandwiches, so singles and couples can eat bread fresh instead of freezing half a loaf. The body is compact and slim for kitchens with little counter space. You can choose Regular, Firm or Soft texture, and the menu covers basic bread, soft, French, dough, cookie/pasta dough, cake, jam and quick bread. The quick cycle finishes in under 2 hours, and the 13-hour delay timer works like the bigger Zojirushi models. The catch is price: at $294.99 it costs more than every 2-lb machine from Hamilton Beach and KitchenArm, all of which also offer a 1 lb setting. It also lists no gluten-free course. We compared documented features and published prices and did not bake test loaves.
