This very easy to use device comes with a non-stick dishwasher-safe pan and two kneading paddles. You can choose between two loaf sizes – 1.5 and 2 pounds – and three crust settings. As we said, it’s very easy to use – just put the ingredients, choose your desired setting, and push the start button. When it comes to settings, there are 12 of them, and some of them are French, quick, sweet, express, whole grain, cake, and others, with an audible reminder to add dried fruits and nuts. We must not forget nowadays so much popular gluten-free bread. Besides its popularity gluten-free option is also a must-have considering for people suffering from Celiac disease. Having that in mind, it’s worth mentioning that this bread machine comes packed with a booklet with Bob’s Mill custom gluten-free recipes.

Check Price2. Elite Gourmet Programmable Bread Maker
This bread maker is an Amazon’s Choice for a bread machine, and there is an obvious reason for that. For a pretty reasonable price, you’ll get a more than decent bread maker with 19 preprogrammed settings – from classic white bread to pizza dough – plus a 15-hour timer delay and 60 minutes Keep Warm function. Also, it can be set to automatically limit the preservatives you put in the bread dough and eliminate gluten, and it comes with three different settings for a bread dough size – 1, 1.5, and 2 pounds. Along with these digital features, you’ll get everything you need to make fresh artisan bread at home: non-stick pan, measuring cup and spoon, kneading blade, and metal hook to lift it out.
Having all this above we must say this bread maker comes with a lot more features compared to the previous one and they are both of the same price range. All these features are surely worth a few extra bucks. The only consideration we have on this bread maker is that it’s pretty loud, so have that in mind before purchasing it.
Check Price3. KBS Pro Stainless Steel Bread Machine
Writing about this bread maker we’re stepping into a much wider area of bit pricier bread machines. Although the higher price doesn’t always mean higher quality, we must say that it is true in this case, but only if we consider the materials these bread makers are made of. This bread machine is made of stainless steel, with a cover made of tempered glass. The pan that comes as part of it is a non-stick, ceramic pan, designed to heat the dough evenly and provide you a healthier meal. Simply said, this bread maker is made to be durable.

Also, it’s one of Amazon’s Choices in the category, so we have enough reasons to put it on this list. Jokes aside, this maker has all the features advanced bread machine needs to have – it comes with a 16 preprogrammed settings; 3 different settings for bread crust and the dough size; has a special low-carb and gluten-free presets enabling you to make up to 100 different types of bread. Some of the additional but usual settings include – 12 hours delay timer, bake-only option, and power-failure backup. The unique feature that differentiates it from the rest of the competition is the convection feature which circulates the air for superior crust color and texture, and it’s all BPA free. The only drawback we could think of is that is a bit noisy, but it can’t be silent, so have realistic expectations. Otherwise, it’s a great product and we highly recommend it.
