Neretva20-IN-1 Bread Maker, Dual Heater 2LB Bread Machine Stainless Steel Bread Maker Machine Nonstick Ceramic Pan Compact for Gluten Free/Sourdough/Whole Wheat Bread/Yogurt, Breadmaker Recipe-Green

I love this little bread maker, I bought it because it was affordable, astetically appealing, easy to use. I opted for the mint green, it remindedeof my Easy Bake oven I had as a kid.It really cuts down the time to make bread by hand. I made my first loaf in the pan and it performed really well, the bread was very dense though. I used a recipie from YouTube.The second loaf I made was from the instruction manual, a whole wheat bread, I used honey instead of sugar. I decided to take my dough out after the first rise, knead it a little and bake it in my bread pan. My husband and I really loved this bread, it was so delicious.We had read some reviews that it was loud but we both thought it was super quiet.This bread maker went on sale when I bought it so I saved twenty dollars.

Looks great and works great, Nice machine putting out quality bread, Really love the ease of use and bread taste amazing

I'm fairly new to using bread machines, I was using a different brand before which worked well but I wanted a ceramic bread pan free of PTFE. Not only does the Neretva bread maker have a ceramic bread pan, it also has a metal exterior where my old one had a plastic exterior. Not sure if it makes a difference but I prefer to avoid plastic and heat when I can. I love the mint green color, it looks nicer on my kitchen counter as opposed to other models. It's very easy to use, I haven't tried the included recipes as I use the basic bread recipe in the No Fuss Bread Machine Cookbook which seems to work fine. I've made a few loaves with it and so far they've all come out nicely. It's easy to wash, although occasionally the paddle gets stuck but will loosen up after soaking with warm water. Definitely recommend this bread maker for those wanting a simple to use machine that is PTFE free.

I like this machine It is very easy to clean, takes not much counter space, and It seems to cook well, I think, but I can't be sure until I try a few more recipes other than the ones included with the machine. , I do have to complain a little about the instruction/recipe book. The instruction book gives no recipe for anything like banana bread, and doesn't say anywhere what setting to use if making banana/zuchinni/etc. bread. I've tried two different setting now (banana and zuchinni bread) and neither cooked through without adding an hour of time. The French bread recipe, which I made, was very unlike any french bread I've ever had before. Basically it was just a loaf of plain, dense, white bread that had a soft crust. And please manufacturer, what the heck is "toast dough", or "dessert"? I couldn't tell from the recipes and there was zero explanation. And my even bigger question, what is DRIED MEAT FLOSS??? I'm stumped onthat one too. Meat floss? Yikes. Oh yeah, there is a setting called ferment, which is basically just for thawing store-bought frozed dough. Really? If I was doing that, why would I pay this much for a bread machine? There are a very minimum number of recipes, and for the most part they look to be pretty useless. The instruction book doesn't say what temp that the cake setting heats at, so I don't know how to adjust for a different cake recipe.... But, all that aside, I think that the machine is going to work great once I fine tune a few things in what settings I need to use. This is my 4th bread machine over the years. I wore out all my other ones, so I am not a novice at this, but I wish I could go back to one of those older machines I had that didn't the excessive number of settings that I really don't want or need.

I've read some of the reviews of this machine (which I got almost 2 years ago and use routinely). Some of the negtive reviews mentioned gf issues, a humming from the machine even when not in use, and various other problems. I use this machine at least once a week, sometimes more than that, and have had no issues worth mentioning.If I had to try to pick this machine apart, I'd prefer it was quieter when kneading the dough, but seriously, I kinda expect the kneading process in a machine to make some noise.My machine does have a slight hum, so I just unplug it when not in use. Problem solved, since we are always home when it's in use and would know immediately if the source of the hum caused a fire.I haven't tried making gf bread, tho I'd love to give it a go. Sadly, I'm not knowledgeable enough about gf cooking to be successful and would probably spend a ton of money on all the wrong ingredients.This is the biggest reason for my review: recipes not working in the machine. I don't use the cookbook that came with the machine, so I rarely have had this happen and it was always because I digressed from the original recipe. I have a bread machine cookbook I got 30 years ago when I had my first bread machine, and the recipes in that cookbook are foolproof! The cookbook (and it's sequel) can be found on Amazon as well. It is called "Bread Machine Magic" and is written by Linda Rehberg and Lois Conway. Here's the link to the revised cookbook on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Bread-Machine-Magic-Revised-Especially/dp/031230496X/ref=asc_df_031230496X?mcid=2565aa58518032afba8785b0a36ef215&hvocijid=17810961737734783598-031230496X-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17810961737734783598&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026243&hvtargid=pla-2281435178098&psc=1I love the recipes in that book (and all bread cookbooks from these 2 bread bakers). I use the bread recipe ... the recipes all include a S, M, or L loaf version; in this machine, I use the M loaf and change my loaf size setting on the machine to 900 gm loaf size.If you buy the original "Bread Machine Magic" cookbook, it has only S and L size recipes, and I always use the L loaf size recipe (which is the same as the M in the new and improved Bread Machine Magic cookbook linked above.My husband LOVES every loaf of bread I make in this machine and he's pretty picky! I would recommend this machine ... and those bread machine cookbooks!Happy Baking,AJPro's wife
