5Perfect for Singles, Apartment Dwellers, and Couples....
By Jessica in NE
The Zojirushi BB-HAC10 breadmaker is terrific for couples, singles, or apartment dwellers wanting a small loaf of bread (1 LB). While at first, its price may be offsetting, it is a fantastic device and made of high quality materials. Most breadmakers are too large and end up being stored in the closet, but this machine is small, sleek, and bakes perfect loaves of bread. It is the same width as my toaster and is small enough to keep out on an apartment kitchen counter. The loaves on regular cycles take between 3:40-3:00 to bake, but it has a timer and a "keep warm" feature. It is quiet and an 8-year old could easily operate its simple push button controls.It has an even-heating element, and a good quality, heavy, non-stick baking pan, which is a snap to clean up. It has a pasta/cookie dough feature and a jam (!) feature. The tiny paddle is actually surprisingly efficient at making dough for cookies and such.One caveat: It bakes a small, vertical loaf of bread and a 1 LB loaf is smaller than you think it is. So the "rounded" part on top takes up about 1/4 of the entire loaf. Also, your bottom slice will have a gaping hole where the paddle bakes into it. While this is not much of a problem for a large 2 LB loaf, for this small loaf, it is a bit of a waste.We have had a Zojirushi since the early 90's and although we found it consistently made excellent bread, it wasn't getting used very often because it was large and the 2LB loaves simply weren't getting eaten. After downsizing, we found that this breadmaker is fabulous because it makes small enough loaves that you can experiment with tons of different recipes and throw away a botched recipe without feeling bad about waste.---Update: Well, six years later, it is now Oct 26, 2013, and my little breadmaker still works, though I use it much more sparingly than I used to. I'd say that it was worth the investment. In fact, we've bought a few other things from Zojirushi since then: Zojirushi CD-WBC30 Micom Electric 3-Liter Water Boiler and Warmer, Champagne Gold, the Zojirushi NS-YAC10 Umami Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer, Pearl White, 5.5 Cup Capacity, and a couple Zojirushi AASB-22SB Premier Air Pot 74-Ounce Beverage Dispenser, Brushed Stainless. I've been nothing but happy with the quality of each of these items and I'd buy every single one of these items again (maybe bigger on the water boiler, though). To us, the Zojirushi brand is an indicator of quality. It's nice to find a manufacturer that still takes pride in the usefulness and durability of their products. Elephant FTW.

5Excellent! STILL MORE UPDATES, August 2013...
By Arzey
If you are like me, you will do a huge amount of research on the web before you make a purchase like this. Usually I get it down to a few brands, then one item, then I find the best price.Years ago I purchased one of the earliest commercial bread makers available to consumers. It was a thrill to have such a thing, as I love fresh bread, but I am also a well-known yeast killer. Needless to say, the technology was new... it worked for about a year, and only when making one recipe - Basic White Bread. I decided not to get it fixed (the price tag for repairs was over 100 bucks), and just wrote the whole idea off.Last fall - after about ten years had passed! - I decided to try again, only this time I had the internet on my side. I am so glad I looked as hard as I did! This little machine is fantastic.I've had my Zoji for about a month now and I've only had one failure - it was my fault, the water I put in was just too hot, and I killed the yeast (no new thing there). Otherwise, I've made about 13 successful loaves for myself, family & friends! My Challa loaf and my basic white have now been perfected. Wheat and quick breads turn out great, too.I've even figured out how to use the soft bread cycle and a sweet loaf dough, and remove it at just the right time, then roll the dough up with cinnamon or slice it and put layers of filling, whatever you can think of, then get it back in the pan quickly for the rest of the last rise and the baking. As long as you are prepared and do your math with the clock so you can work fast, this works great.The other plus is that the loaf size, at just a pound, is perfect for singles like me. I do not have to freeze so much extra bread, and it gets eaten before it gets stale or bad. Do yourself a solid and get some bread flour, it does make a difference to the rising and the texture of the loaf.The zoji has some great features that may not be apparent when reading the manual (go to [...] and download the manual in PDF form - I do this with every single appliance I am serious about purchasing and it really helps make the best decision for you). The water I put in is truly cool to lukewarm. I learned by watching my Zoji that during the "rest" phase (the first phase), the water is at the bottom of the pan and the machine warms it up during this phase to the perfect temperature. I know that sounds trivial, but remember this is how I always kill yeast! So... biggest problem for me: SOLVED.Next is to put the ingredients in as they tell you to - mostly to keep the yeast dry and on the top of the flour until it begins to knead. Another thing I learned about this by watching, to be absolutely sure, is to put in the water first, then just HALF the flour, put the rest of the ingredients on top of that flour (except your add-ins like raisins, there is a beep later for that), lastly put the remaining flour on top, then make a small dip right in the middle and put all the yeast right there. If you do this, when the Zoji starts the first knead, the yeast sinks straight to the bottom into the water - which is just perfect.Clean up is very easy - just be sure to get all the bread out of the paddle and it's assembly, and dry everything properly until the next loaf.I love this little machine. Zojirushi is the more expensive brand, and even though I am on a tight budget, I am happy I got this one. I can see why it costs a little more - it's great!++++++UPDATE: It's been a little over a year later, and I am still just as thrilled with my zoji. It has a permanent place on my (limited) countertop. For the record, I have used it consistently about 6 times a month, and there has been no change in the machine's performance. I consider that really durable for such an item.The only thing I have learned to do different from when I first reviewed is for better performance in the winter months: my house is usually cold, because gas is $$, so I give it a little boost (VERY LITTLE - remember how I kill yeast) by putting hot tap water into the pan before use. Let that sit for about 3 mins while you gather ingredients, then pour it out, and put in your regular cold tap water in the amount for the recipe.A good tip for more stubborn recipes is to add a miniscule amount of ginger on top of the yeast. Ginger will act as a booster to the yeast, it makes it work longer and harder. But remember you only need a little - less than a dash for this sized pan - or else the taste of the bread will change.Another tip is to get a decent brand's box of organic Vital Wheat Gluten, especially if you can't find bread flour. 1 Tbls per recipe for this sized pan is about right. Sorry, anti-gluten folks, but this is a wonderful product.If you want to try something whole grain with a fantastic taste, get some organic Spelt flour. Take your typical white bread recipe and halve the white flour with Spelt. Add 1 Tbls gluten. You may need to add water or flour as it kneads - just keep an eye on it. Remember this is a heavier flour, like all whole grains, so it needs a bit more observing.One more tip: get yourself a skinny jar scraper made of silicon, and a small tupperware of flour. Keep these by the machine as it kneads. The jar scraper (must be silicon!) is a great tool to scrape off the sides of the pan for the more stubborn recipes, and the flour comes in handy when you find the mix is just too goopy. But be CAREFUL, as always, when adding stuff while it kneads... avoid the paddle if scraping, and avoid getting product over the side if adding some. It WILL burn down there.All in all, even with the recipes you have to work a little harder with, this is the best appliance I have ever purchased. And I have purchased a LOT of them!!!I even give my French Bread loaf as a birthday gift, and that really lights up their eyes to see (and SMELL) a warm loaf of fresh baked bread with nothing more than a ribbon around it.++++++UPDATE, January 1, 2011: I was inspired by another reviewer (of another appliance) here today to update again. Not much to say, other than my Zoji is still working perfect and I am still thrilled with this little machine. But it's important to keep you informed of both the good and the bad, so here I am again, 25 days shy of 2 years, to tell you that if you want to bake bread without a lot of fuss, the Zoji is TOTALLY worth your money. PS, thanks Melissa! :)Now all I have to do is find a mid-size reliable pressure cooker.... any ideas, folks?++++++UPDATE: August 30, 2011: This thing is amazing. It just keeps working great. I ventured into other areas, too - Olive Oil bread, banana bread, nut breads, cakes. I'm going to try just using the dough cycle so I can take it out and use it by hand (like pizza dough, kolaches [sp?] or crescent rolls). Not sure if it will work, but at least I won't have killed the yeast before I ruin the dough (and will still only have myself to blame, not my lil zoji. Heh.)++++++UPDATE: December 7, 2011: Still works fantastic!!!! Almost three years, and NO issues with it at all. WOW.BTW - I finally bought a pressure cooker. :)+++++++UPDATE: August 2, 2013: Added my Challa recipe to this 'mini-blog of a review' and wanted you all to know that my baby zoji still works great! What is it now - 4.5 years? Holy cats. That's a good appliance.

3Comparison with Zojirushi BBCCX20
By Eve
I already owned the Zojurushi BBCCX20 (the 2-Pound-Loaf Bread Machine) for 2 years before deciding on buying the smaller model to adjust to changing needs. Unfortunately, I expected the same kind of "programmable" machine. The only thing programmable on the Zojirushi BB-HAC10 is the delay timer. Do not buy this machine expecting to control the time of rise, kneed and bake. Maybe I'm the only person who did use this feature on the other model, but it was truly useful for making spelt bread. The only way to make a nice spelt bread using this machine is the "Quick Baking Setting" and it cannot be combined with the timer. So impossible for me to make a spelt bread for breakfast.Things I do like :-The size of the machine is perfect, I store it in the cupboard.-The beep sound (for adding raisins, nuts, etc.) is not to long or annoying like the BBCCX20 which would wake me up in the middle of the night.-Easier to clean than BBCCX20. There are no nylon inserts in the bread pan to which bread sticks to.By the way, the first unit I received blacked out after 5 minutes. It was my first defective purchase from Amazon and replacement service was as perfect as I had read by other customers.
