Product Description
Get performance like you've never seen from a breadmaker. A revolutionary heating element built into our Home Bakery Virtuoso Breadmaker changes the way you can bake bread at home. With perfectly browned crust every time, anyone can be a master baker. From novice to expert, now any home baker can take advantage of our most technologically advanced breadmaker, loaded with menu settings and options for the ultimate in versatility. For a basic bread recipe, simply add in measured ingredients, close the lid, make a selection from the user-friendly LCD control panel, and the Home Bakery Supreme takes care of the rest--baking up a rectangular-shaped 2-pound loaf of bread to perfection. Choose from three crust shades--light, medium, or dark--and from various healthy course settings, such as multigrain, whole wheat, rapid whole wheat, gluten free, salt free, and vegan. Best of all, the machine's timer can be set to delay the end of the baking cycle by up to 13 hours, which makes it possible to wake up to the smell of freshly baked, homemade bread in the morning or to come home to a warm loaf at the end of a long day at the office. The bread maker provides two blades for thorough dough kneading and a higher rise, a large viewing window, an "on" indicator light, a start/reset button, and a removable nonstick bread pan for easy cleaning. Accessories include a liquid measuring cup, nested measuring cups, and a measuring spoon. Instruction manual and recipe book also included.

Surprisingly, this machine actually has exceeded our expectations; even 100% whole wheat bread, which in the ancestor Zo could be iffy, is perfect. In both 2 lb. and 1.5 lb. loaves, the crust is just right - not tough or hard; the top is golden and even; every loaf/cake, complex or simple, has been almost freakishly flawless (true, you are paying for those double paddles and top heater, but do they ever make a difference!). In true Zo form, it's simple to use, very quiet and stable, and finished goodies slip right out with minimal holes and cleanup. Paddles remain in the pan, not the bread, and separate easily after briefly soaking the cooled pan in warm water. A "Shape" stage can be used to remove the dough to specially form it or remove the paddles before baking (the splines will remain, but the resulting holes will be much smaller without the paddles), and raising the lid will stop the machine temporarily without interfering with the program. Like older models, the initial "Rest" period warms ingredients as needed before mixing so no need to bring them to room temp first, but a cool new feature is the ability to bypass this stage if you don't need it, which shortens the overall time considerably. The "Add" signal also beeps for a longer period so you have less chance of missing it, which is easy to do if you're not nearby since it isn't very loud. Although the DVD manual provided is unintentionally comical and prim, and mind-numbingly redundant, it does have some useful info not included in the written manual.
One consideration before buying would be your available space: since it bakes a horizontal loaf, this is a hefty machine with a footprint 18"w, 11"d, and with the lid raised, 20"h, plus space needed behind and at sides for vents. An extension cord will probably be needed unless parked directly in front of an outlet.
Although we've only begun to tap its many talents, after over a month of frequent use (2 - 3 times/wk. for whole-grain breads w/nuts/fruit/seeds, banana bread, cakes, and pizza dough so far, and hopefully noodles soon), we're delighted with our new Zo and recommend it without reservation; we also appreciate Amazon's free shipping and right-on-time arrival before Christmas.
Just an added note if you're new to bread makers (and to set straight some previous detractors' comments) - for best results with any machine, take the time to measure ingredients by weight rather than volume and add them in the order recommended in your machine's manual, since order can vary by manufacturer and doesn't necessarily match that listed in cookbook recipes. And if you need more reasons to think Zo, check out the King Arthur Flour website blog where they used one to cook almost every dish last Thanksgiving (except the turkey)!

I will say that in the beginning I did have to figure out a few tweaks to the recipes in the provided cookbook. Since bread is affected by different elements and environments, I found some recipes I had to add extra water to the recipe for them to turn out properly. For example, the raisin bread recipe was too dry to allow the raisins to properly mix. They always ended up at the bottom of the loaf instead of evenly distributed throughout. But after slowly adding more water to the recipe I found the sweet spot and now get perfectly mixed bread every time.
After having this machine for almost a year I can say that I have no issues with it. The paddles don't leave much of a hole in the bottom of the loaf and the majority of the time come out without taking any bits of the loaf with it (occasionally they do, but not often and it's usually only a very small piece).
I've also used it to make pizza dough (my own recipe, not the one from the book) and it has been working great. It's simple, just put in the ingredients and in a couple of hours it's ready to put in the pan. I've also made sweet dough for cinnamon rolls.
Clean up is simple. The loaf pan cleans easily (NOTE: the book clearly says not to immerse the pan in water.) I put water in it as soon as I remove the bread (just enough to cover the paddles) and let it sit a few minutes. This softens whatever may make the paddles stick to the spindles. Then I remove the spindles, add a little dish soap to the water in the pan and clean it out. The paddles can be watched with your regular dishes if you wish. I find pipe cleaners (usually folded over a couple times on one end) make a cheap and easy way to clean the inside of the paddles (where they sit on the spindles of the loaf pan). I get a package of 100 at the local dollar store.
As I said, I am very pleased with this machine and would (so far) recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality bread machine that makes a traditional size and shape loaf. There is nothing like having fresh bread to go with a meal. ;-)
