KBS Pro Stainless Steel Bread Machine, 2LB 17-in-1 Programmable XL Bread Maker with Fruit Nut Dispenser, Nonstick Ceramic Pan& Digital Touch Panel, 3 Loaf Sizes 3 Crust Colors, Reserve& Keep Warm Set

Ok, it’s been about a year now since I decided to buy this particular bread maker, so I can give you my honest perspective on it. Originally, I purchased the bread maker out of concerns that Covid was going to impact my family’s everyday life and of course Covid has done that. I thought bread was going to be scarce for awhile and it was for a short while. And I wasn’t too sure about eating good from restaurants, so I thought the bread maker would be a good idea for making home made pizza.Spin forward a year and I can honestly say that if you are thinking of buying a bread maker, consider buying one for making pizza dough. This machine makes great pizza dough and to date, we’ve made 57 pizza’s with our bread maker. We just put 1-1/3 cups water, 1/4 cup olive oil, 3-1/2 cups I bleached all purpose flour, 1 tbsp sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons of SAF yeast into the bucket in this specific order, and set the bread machine to setting 11 (dough mixing mode) and in 23 minutes, we have enough dough for 2 large pizzas! We cut the dough in two chunks and place them in plastic bags and refrigerate or freeze. The KBS make the process of making pizza’s so easy, that it’s now an effortless process for us during the week to make 1 or more batches.Yeas, we tried bread once, but as a result of Covid, I’ve found that making the type of quality sourdough you see in the pic I’ve provided, that hand kneading yields much higher rising. So I just hand mix and knead my sourdough. The rising is not an issue with the KBS, it’s just that sourdough rising is a process better left to a slow and easy kneading method.As far as the one bread loaf I did make, it was from the 3rd party cookbook others mentioned. I made a white bread loaf and I have to say so myself, that it came out beautifully. But because sourdough is healthier, I’m satisfied with the KBS making just pizza dough.In regards to the machine, it works flawlessly for us. The non-stick ceramic pot is what sold me when reading about the horrors of PTFE’s which are embedded in all the major brands that don’t use ceramic pots. And the ceramic coating makes cleaning up a breeze.Initially, I there was a flaw in the machine that I had read about where others were complaining that if you hit the start button by mistake, the bread machine would run a cycle with no way to cancel it, even if you unplug the device. Well, those people probably don’t use computers much. Being an IT professional, I figured it would be a simple matter of holding down one of the buttons for 5 seconds to reset the machine, and sure enough, by holding down the start button (I believe it’s actually called th Menu button) for a few seconds, you should hear a beat that will tell you that the selected mixing recipe has been cancelled.Other than this one initial flaw in the design, I can’t complain much. The people that complain are probably not used to using a bread machine of any kind and they’ll complain about bad results. The key thing to realize about bread machines is that the ingredients must be added in the specific order specified in the recipe for best results. Just winging things in the pot will get you sub par results no matter what machine you use.And as far as being made in China, tell me what machine probably does not have major internal components from the Far East. These days, we tend to blame the device when 9 times out of 10, it’s operator inexperience or improper use.One area that is poor is the user guide. That I will admit is pretty shabby. But hey! You can get a great guide with another bread maker along with some really tasty PTFE chemicals from their Teflon coated pots! Yum!The pics I’ve provided of my results tell the story. This machine is well made and it can make good breads, pizza doughs, etc. I can highly recommend it, especially if you’ve used other bread maker machines. It’s use is pretty simple with even the tiniest bit of intuitiveness.

We absolutely love our KBS Pro Bread Machine! It has been a game-changer in our kitchen, making homemade bread both fun and delicious. One of the standout features for us is the ceramic pan, which is PFAS-free—a huge plus for health-conscious bakers like us. Knowing we're using safe, non-toxic materials gives us peace of mind with every loaf.The bread machine itself is fantastic, and we're having a blast experimenting with freshly milled grain to perfect our homemade bread. While we're still fine-tuning our recipes, the process is so enjoyable because every loaf tastes amazing—crisp crust, soft interior, and full of flavor. The KBS Pro makes it easy to explore different settings and customize our bakes.What truly sets KBS apart, though, is their exceptional customer support. We had a minor issue with our machine, and John from their team personally resolved it with incredible speed and care. His dedication made us feel valued as customers, turning a small hiccup into a positive experience. It’s rare to find such responsive and personalized service these days!Attached are a couple of pictures of our latest freshly baked loaf—golden, crusty perfection! We highly recommend the KBS Pro Bread Machine to anyone looking to elevate their bread-making game with a reliable, safe, and user-friendly machine backed by top-notch support.

This is a great bread maker! The taste is wonderful (better than anything I've tasted), and the texture is consistent and smooth. I love the different sizes of loaves with the small size perfect for one person. It's helpful to have metric measuring cups and spoons which are easily available. The instructions could be a little bit clearer, such as the butter should be melted and turning the machine on means simply plugging it in. I have hd several bread makers in the past and this one is of a higher quality and easier to use than any others. I found customer service to be very responsive and friendly as I had to ask some questions.

Mostly Like it but there is a caviet or twoFirstly it does work well.Well made, good documents and recipes included.Didn't have it long enough to say if it will last, will see.Now for bad things:1. The feature for auto adding extras like nuts and raisins is horrible. I try using it times and every time some of the raisins and nuts spill into the machine body not the baking pan. That makes smoke and burning smell.2. While documentation mostly good it is missing some vital info on how to do things properly.As example , since the auto add feature is terrible, I could not find any info on how to adf things manually.

We’ve been using the KBS Pro Stainless Steel Bread Machine for over a year now, making sandwich bread almost daily — and it’s been incredible. The machine is consistent, easy to use, and produces great loaves every time. The programmable settings make it easy to tweak based on flour type, add-ins, or crust preferences. We especially like the ceramic nonstick pan — it’s held up well over time and cleans up easily.We did run into one hiccup with being unable to remove the bread paddle after several months of use, but their customer support was quick and helpful in getting it resolved.Overall, this has been one of the best kitchen purchases we’ve made. If you're baking bread regularly and want a hassle-free machine that just works, this is it.
