My old Zoiirushi brand bread machine was over 12 years old and I never
liked it. Because the smaller loaves were always misshapen and the paddles
always stuck in the loaf and hard to remove, plus I believed were over
baked and never tender. Anyway I wanted a new smaller bread machine and
after checking out numerous brands and reviews I finally chose a "Neretva"
I found on Amazon. It's a small compact bread machine with vertical pan
and so far has made tender, well formed, tasty and evenly colored read
either 750 g or 900g akin to 1.5 lbs to 2 lbs. per their recipe pamphlet
and has multifunctions for a variety of breads, dough, jam and yoghurt etc.
Their recipes never use over 3 cups of bread flour for the large loaves.
It is somewhat noisy when it kneads. It beeps to add stuff to the dough
and beeps when it's done baking.
So far I am very satisfied and have no affiliation with the company. Just
thought I'd post after reading another posters comments relating about
compact bread machines. This one bakes nice bread and may be perfect for
those who have limited counter space.
