Customer Reviews for Cuisinart 2 lb. Convection Bread Maker

Doesn’t work for GF bread no matter what setting you put it on. Tried two different ways and each time turned out in little dried clumps rather than a loaf. The paddle doesn’t seem to be big enough to stir everything properly. Also, it took us 15 minutes just to be able to get the loaf pan out of the machine each time. Horrible design and function.

I love it! I’ve got it as a Christmas present and I’ve made multiple breads so far. More to try soon :)

Great product…. The menu recipes are really good. You must use exact measurements or you may not get a perfect loaf

Bread dough does not mixed thoroughly. Baked bread fell in the center.

Very simple to use. Add ingredients, push three buttons. Really that easy! I’ve made 6 loaves so far and all have been perfect.

This is my 3rd Cuisinart bread machine over a period of about 35 years. The audio signals are great for both add-ins and final proof.

Love this machine. We started making our own bread after my son was diagnosed with ADHD. It allows us to control the amount of sugar he consumes. Everything we had made in machine turns out great.

This easy-to-use machine has been invaluable to my household. I have never been more happy with an appliance.

Love my bread maker...although I found it quite large it looks beautiful on my counter. The instructions are easy to read and understand. My first loaf came out delicious.Yes I would recommend this product to others...just beware you do need more space.

I like the size and versatility of the bread maker. I can keep on counter and it slides against the wall under my cupboards. I have made bread in the machine 3 times and made dough for bread and cinnamon rolls 3 times. We love doing the dough recipe and baking in the oven as I don’t like the crust as hard. I would of given 5 stars but I followed the book and couldn’t get it to change from the default settings of medium and 2 pound loaf. I watched on you-tube and said to select this first and then the bread size. I then could change settings but would go back to the default settings when I picked bread type. I called customer service last night and they were very helpful. With her guidance I selected the loaf and darkness settings like I did before, then the bread setting’s, then it let me go back and adjust the size and darkness again the second time. My next loaf I will try baking on light since I can adjust now. I like that it has the timed feature. I plan on trying while I’m at home first to make sure I entered information correctly. I would of given 5 stars if I didn’t have the problem with changing settings. I like you can have your dough done in 1 hour and 40 minutes. Put in bread pan for a second rise and bake. Lots less work and clean up and makes great bread. Tons of recipes to choose from too.

Never had a bread machine before and I am enjoying learning how to bake bread. The machine is easy to figure out and the little book of recipes is helpful. This machine has met my expectations.

Works great , easy to use and bread results have been very good. Nice crust and bread texture .

I have made 4 loaves of white bread so far and they have tasted ok but not one has rose to my satisfaction. I read the entire manual first and bought all the suggested ingredients before I even made the first loaf. I bought King Arthur bread flour, Carnation instant nonfat dry milk, unsalted butter and active dry yeast. I have accurately measured all ingredients, even weighed the flour the last 2 times with a digital scale. I used a digital thermometer to check the water temperature and allowed the butter to reach room temperature first. I thought it might be the yeast so I went and bought Fleishmann's bread machine yeast and I thought the last 1lb loaf I made rose a little better but I was still disappointed. Unfortunately, I don't think they compare with the white bread my mother use to make - perhaps I am not being realistic but they sure have not rose like the loaf in the picture above - not sure if that is a 2 lb loaf and whether that would make a difference or not.

This bread machine is so easy to use! I have tried so many times to make a good cinnamon roll but I have a hard time with yeast. No more! Perfect first rise every time on the dough cycle. My family loves waking up to fresh baked cinnamon rolls!

I found this bread maker easy to use and it makes the best bread I have ever had. I use it weekly to make both sandwich (white) and breakfast (yorkshire spice) bread. It does brown the loaf a little more than I prefer, and the 1 pound loaf was a little too small, while the 1.5 pound loaf was a little too big, so I adjusted my recipes to make 1.25 pound loaves and baked them on the 1 pound setting with light crust and they came out perfect. I watch the initial mixing to make sure that the dough is the right consistency (adjusting as necessary using the pause feature) and then I walk away until it beeps for me to remove the paddle. The loaf comes easily out of the pan and clean up is a breeze.

I've already cooked several loaves in this - and each one came out perfect. I'm very happy with this product. I think the only complaints I have are the controls are kind of wonky - I'm always having to remember to turn off the 'Add Toppings' light - it comes on with any changes you make. Also, I wish there was a custom option - I'd like to combine the artisan rise times with cooking

Why does every loaf collapse in the middle every loaf no matter what recipe. Very disappointing. Expensive and not giving the results I thought it would.

I love this breadmaker, I have had it over 2 years now and I use it at least once a month to make pizza dough and many times to make bread and it is just a wonderful appliance to have in my kitchen!

This bread maker is so easy to use! I've made a few loaves and each one has turned out great! There are many different bread recipes in the booklet provided with the bread maker. Just follow the directions exactly and you won't have any issues. There's also a section that has been to-the-minute for each process time of each recipe. I looked at numerous videos about this product and some people did have issues, but they were user-related, not product related. Don't let those turn you off from bread maker. I highly recommend this! It even makes wonderful pizza dough!

It was very hard to understand how to read the crust and bread size indicators. I had to go on U-tube to find out how to read them. Then the program indicator got stuck and again I had to go to U-tube to free it up. I had to access U-tube to assertion how to get the bread pan in and out. In other words the directions are too vague. I love the machine once I learned how to use it. I gave it 4 stars because of poor instructions.

Easy to use, consistent results, informative recipe book, reliable, various baking options, awesome bread every time

Easiest, most successful bread I’ve ever made. I purchased it so I could be in control of the additives and ingredients that are in bread. I can also make bread whenever I need and not be concerned about what is available on the shelf at the store. The bonus I didn’t expect, is a wide variety of specialty breads that I can make. There are so many recipes in the book that I can’t wait to use. They are more available on social media. This is the best small appliance I have bought since my Cuisinart toaster oven air fryer.

Extremely easy to use, very consistent results. I almost always do the 2lb loaf, on medium crust.

Consistently makes great bread and dough to make rolls...many options in variety and size.

I bought this bread maker as a replacement for my 20 year old maker. Needless to say the technology has changed in that amount of time. I bake 2-3 loaves of sourdough bread each week and it does a wonderful job. The convection baking gives a nice even browning of the loaf.

I purchased this machine to make gluten free bread for my family. Many recipes are not easy or reliable.It seem almost as much work without the machine. Im a new baker so I dont really know if the recipe calls for 1-2 lbs. The cook book provided calls for so many ingredients I almost quit. Im still figuring this thing out but would really like my loafs to be larger and fluffy. Again this is most likely user error. Im sure if I make regular bread it will come out just fine. As far as the machine goes it seems to be doing its job. It is rather large and bulky making it challenging to store.

I’ve made 4 loaves of bread adjusting the ingredients as recommended and still have trouble wit the top falling.

Easy to use, fun! Love my rustic Italian loaf! Moved to Florida-had a hard time finding good bread (originally from New York), now I can make my bread and enjoy

Makes beautiful bread but we had an issue right away with the seal at bottom of bread pan. The seal was allowing the oil to seep through to the dough while making the bread!

Easy Peasy and makes great bread. Some reviews suggest crust is too hard- I love it! Especially if you like French style breads
