KITCHENARM 29-in-1 SMART Bread Machine with Gluten Free Setting 2LB 1.5LB 1LB Bread Maker Machine with Homemade Cycle - Stainless Steel Breadmaker with Recipes Whole Wheat Bread Making Machine

Update after30 Days: I am becoming more impressed as time goes by. In addition to flawless production of three recipes out of their recipe book, I sent KitchenArm a banana bread recipe I downloaded from the internet, and they made minor changes to simplify and customize it for their machine. It ran great. Just for grins, I also ran the recipe unchanged from the internet. It also produced a good looking loaf, but was a little bit less moist. I conclude from that, KitchenArm knows what they are doing and their machine is user friendly. Their free recipe customization service is great! To top it off, Tony from KitchenArm emailed me about a week later asking how well their customization worked.I have now traded a few emails with Tony asking questions, and he gives me detailed answers. For instance, I asked why I should shred instead of melt the butter and found out melted butter can have a saponification reaction with baking powder and baking soda. I doubt you get that kind of customer service from any other bread machine company. He is teaching me the why’s in addition to the how’s.****************I did weeks of online research reading literally hundreds of user reviews before choosing the Kitchenarm. This machine had the lowest percentage of one-star (3%) and one of the highest percentage of five-star (81%) reviews on Amazon. I was most impressed by the large number of five-star reviews that cited outstanding personalized customer service. It comes with a thirty day free return or replacement policy and a two year warranty. The same day I ordered the machine, I received an email from Tony Simpson at Kitchnarm thanking me for my order, and he provided a list of suggestions for insuring successful bread baking. I emailed Mr. Simpson a question and received an answer the next day along with Amazon Prime delivery of my machine.The machine comes with a 45 page operators manual, and a 66 page recipe book that contains 77 custom recipes developed specifically for their machine. The yeast containing recipes list ingredient quantities required for 1, 1.5, and 2 lb loaf sizes. They also offer a webpage address where you can submit your own recipe, and they will attempt to customize it for running on their machine. They include step-by-step instructions for each recipe as well as pages of details on machine setup and operation, including trouble shooting. In the package is a sheet with a 2-D barcode you scan with your cell phone that takes you to their warranty registration website. Super easy to register the machine. Interestingly, I read one, 1-star review where the person complained they were returning the machine because it was too complicated. All I can say is, I believe the machine is incredibly easy to operate as long as you read the manual to understand and prevent common mistakes. The company has worked hard to explain how to operate their machine and successfully produce bread.The machine arrived well packaged. It is a good looking machine with a stainless steel and plastic outer case. Included with the machine are two kneading paddles, so you have a spare, and two sets of measuring cups and spoons, so you can measure dry and wet ingredients without cleaning in-between ingredients. I would strongly recommend you invest in a food scale, as accurately measuring quantities of flour and water are critical to your success. I purchased an Etekcity scale that was listed as the #1 best seller on Amazon, and it has been a great addition to my bread making.The sound of the machine kneading the bread is noticeable, as expected, but not objectionable. The machine did not vibrate or move across the counter.Kitchenarm strongly recommends you start out by producing your first loaf using the 1.5 lb plain white bread recipe. I did, and it came out great, except that, as expected, plain white bread doesn't have a lot of flavor. I am looking forward to experimenting with other recipes. My next trials will be rye and banana breads. I am just a beginner, but so far, I am very happy with my purchase.

I ordered the KitchenArm Bread Machine after doing quite a bit of research, reading customer reviews and consumer reports online. I had a small issue when I first had it delivered, but contacted Tony, the Customer Rep for KitchenArm at Amazon, and he took care of my issues right away. He was very responsive and easy to work with. I was making bread within no time. The machine comes with a very detailed manual and lots of recipes. My first recipe making the white bread was perfect and delicious, and I was able to make the whole wheat bread as well right afterwards. I can't wait to try more new recipes. I had a bread machine years ago and it was always very noisy. I can't believe how quiet this machine is. I was also worried it would "walk" on the counter, but it stays in one place. It is easy to clean as well. I was also pleased in doing my research to see it is made in the US. I am very happy with my choice and would recommend it to anyone.

As close to perfect as possible! Not only does it make a variety of breads, the recipe book is amazingly comprehensive and thorough. After a friend had a failure baking whole wheat bread with her breadmaker, I used the flour she gave me, carefully read the instructions, and was surprised to read that whole wheat flour needs to be preheated, and will look much different before it forms the usual ball. The result was wonderful!I also love the ease of use and the dough setting that's perfect for bread baked in the oven, and, by shortening the time, for no-knead artisan bread which can raise in the breadmaker for the needed twelve hours.

I love my new bread machine! It works perfectly. The instructions and hints are great. The recipe book is excellent. Their customer service is amazing. They answer questions promptly and are very helpful - not a generic answer - a REAL response.UPDATE: Absolutely love this bread machine - I have been using it weekly. I love the reminder beep you can set to alert you to remove the paddle. It is quiet and solid - no vibrations or "walking". Just a soft hum when the paddle is moving. The alert beeps are nice and loud, but not annoying. Customer service is amazing. Their recipe customization service is as well. They answer questions promptly and thoughtfully - no canned responses. I 100% recommend this bread machine! I bought an other one to give as a gift.
