Test Notes:
This machine did not perform well overall. It was almost impossible to remove the pan from the machine. The loaves were on the small side and the Limpa-Sweet Rye crust was overdone. We would not recommend this bread machine out-of-the-box for Sturdiwheat Yeast Bread Mixes, but it might perform better on custom settings in Round 2.
We are currently testing several of the top selling bread machines and will be posting the results in the very near future. Here is a list of the machines included in the first round of tests:
- Panasonic Bread Bakery SD-YD250
- Breadman Pro TR875
- Breadman Ultimate Plus
- Breadman Corner Bakery TR888
- Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme BBCC-X20
- West Bend 41026
- Cuisinart CBK-200
Please post suggestions of models you would like to see us test in the next round.
