NeretvaBread Maker, 3.3LB Larger Bread Machine 15-in-1 Stainless Steel & Nonstick Ceramic Pan & Auto Nut Dispenser Breadmaker Machines Full Touch Panel with Gluten Free White Wheat Rye French Pizza

Didn’t know what to expect given the less than stellar reviews that I read about the product before buying it. But I am here to report that this is by far one of the best bread makers I have ever used. And I have used and tried many!I cannot speak to the many great specs and virtues of this machine in this space. After all, in the end it must do what it was intended to do, which is to make great bread. And this machine accomplishes that end with excellence. The size, the shape and quality of bread it makes is exactly what I wanted and have been searching for. My wife is taken in by its stainless steel beauty, which fits with our kitchen’s decor, and has decided to put it up on her counter rather than hide it in the cabinets beneath.I could care less about the recipes included, but they gave me a starting point to appreciate the machine’s capabilities and boundaries. Now I am able to customize to suit my own recipes and tastes.Is it easier to use? Well, it wasn’t to me in the beginning, because I jumped right in to use without consulting the manual. As a result, I messed up several times until I finally decided to follow the manual step by step. Then, it all came together, once I figured out how it worked. So, yes, it is not intuitive to use but given what it does and can do, I could understand why I should have started with the manual.If you are worried about the few negative reviews, then I am here to assure you that, for the money, this bread maker is one of the best you can buy.

Works great. Makes 3 sizes of bread. Fully automatic. Just add ingredients and it does everything else for you.

Amazing bread maker. Mine came damaged and the support team at Neretva was amazing. Quick response and a quick solution. This bread maker has provided the best bread I have had at home. Better than my previous bread machine or making the dough in my kitchen stand. I would buy this product again.

While this is a very good idea, ie large capacity and dual heating elements, the spindles that hold the paddles are poorly designed. It kept popping off the spindles while kneading. I never had that kind of problem before and I've had bread machines for 30+ years. I wanted a second machine for my summer home so I wouldn't have to transport mine from home. I'm sending it back, getting a refund and getting a Zojirushi. Reliable and heavy duty with ease of use.

My first loaf of white bread 2.2 lbs on light crust.Came out verry nice, little bit light on top but not too bad, mixed verry well no left over flour or unmixed flower on the bottom of bread. Bread crumb was excellent, light and spongy, crust was thin and tasty. Don't know if it will bake a 3.3 lb loaf of white bread without touching the lid, but other breads that are denser will probably work. But still 2.2 lbs is a large size 5 x5 by 8 1/2ProsLarge horizontal Pan 5x5x8.5 interior size2 paddles (really mixed ingredients)Powerful motor 850wLarge viewing window 3x6 (really like this feature)Scrolling display that you tell you what function it is doing (mix, rest, kneeding, baking)Ceramic pan ( bread slid right out, verry little mess left in pan)Nut/fruit mixer is nice to haveConsLoud noise when despenser is activated, even when despenser is not in machine, scared me I thought something was wrong with the machine. Only lasts a few seconds, so not really to badNot many functions only 15 ( I'm spoiled my other has 29) does not have a quick bread function for baking powder/soda breadManual is basic verry few recipesDial seams like a unnecessary feature could have just had a pluss and minus button.Cost. 199 is not a bad price for features (horizontal 2 paddle ceramic pan, duel heating element, 850w motor fruit dispenser, large capacity) but it was to much for me as a casual baker. But it was on lightning deal for 150 ish dollars, but at 200 it is still a good deal if you bake alotOverallWould I recommend, yes, but only if you want large size loafs, and don't mind missing a few functionsThe fruit despenser opens before the last kneeding, which is OK for fruit inside the loaf, but I wish there was a option to open after the last rise so it would put nuts on the top of the loaf.This is my third bread maker i tried, first was a walmart artisan, which made terrible bread, tasted all gummy and motor was to week to mix, under cooked with hard burnt crust, and always left unmixed flour at the bottom of bread. Next was the kitchenarm 29 in 1, makes a good bread most of the time, only 550w motor which is OK for small pan, has a great manual and seperate recipe book,excellent customer service, and I was pretty happy with it. I would recommend this to anyone wo wants a cheaper unit with excellent features. Until I tried a friend's bread made with a horizontal bread maker ( starts with a z and is almost $400), and is so much better. I think it is a combination of more powerful motor to mix, and the horizontal pan allows dough to stretch out and rise without all the weight of the dough pressing down.

Love this machine and it’s very easy to use. Does a wonderful job making bread.

Bread maker worked great for the 1st nine months and then it died. Was well maintained during it's short life span. I think the kneeding motors quit working. Haven't had it a year yet. Thought it had at least a one year warranty but not getting any support from Amazon and can't reach the manufacturer at all. Worked great while it lasted but with only nine months of occasional use, I'd hardly say that I got my money's worth. Rather disappointed in both Amazon and the bread machine manufacturer.

great bread maker
