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

Expensive for me, but it really makes a great loaf of gluten free spelt bread. Wish I had taken a picture. This replaces the $100 horizontal maker that lasted 1 year and 2 months, just out of warranty. I hope this will last twice as long or more than the last machine.

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.

I never liked bread make bread because they would come out as these dense blocks. This bread maker makes a nice horizontal loaf with a nice top. I have found that really only the recipes that come with the machine work. Unless you just do the dough function which works well too. Love this! Easy to use. Cleans well. Makes awesome bread and is customizable to 3 different sizes of loafs.

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.

Bought this bread maker to try to have the family eat healthy bread, and now I'm a baker! :)Going to say the Cons first: it squeaks a bit, the nut topper I never use is loud as crap, and the free measuring cup seems way off.But I been making bread in it at least once a week and it's been doing awesome.Here is my recipe for plain bread, as the one in the book has way too much sugar and tastes off.1 cup warmed water1/3 cup milk (I use unsweetened coconut milk)3 tbsp sugar (I sub honey instead)3 tbsp butter (I sub Olive oil instead)1 1/2 tsp (not tbsp by accident) saltMix that all at the bottom of the pan then,add 3 3/4 cups flouradd 1 1/2 tsp yeast on topuse program one, 1250g recipe and crust temp you prefer, I do medium...Seems to work best if you put the paddles opposite of each other tooHappy Baking!

Product didn't work. Turned into a potential fire hazard. I'm writing this after getting it as a gift for my mother for Christmas you couldn't change the programs on the machine and it wouldn't turn off. What's worse is the customer service I received from Amazon after trying to get a replacement breadmaker. As Amazon's policies somehow don't let you replace something that was sent defective. I talked a supervisor and they were just as helpful as the associates.I will be reaching out to neretva themselves to see if they will send a replacement but I am overrall very dissapointed with how this situation was handled. Will update if nerevta ever responds.
