Customer Reviews

I wish I could wait a year before writing a review, or even 5 years (although I realize that would not be helpful for obvious reasons) because the real test of a machine is how it stands up over time. After producing 15 perfect loaves of bread, I am quite satisfied with my purchase. I was disappointed that the machine does not have 2 paddles for bread, but it does quite a good job in spite of this. I will be interested to see how the collapsible paddle stands up over time. Normally I just use the machine to make dough, but if I am in a hurry I will use it to bake and the collapsible paddle does a fairly good job. The hole it leaves doesn't totally ruin the bread as in other machines. I especially enjoyed the recipe for sun dried tomato and feta cheese recipe that came with the instruction manual, even though it did not include the quantity of yeast to be used. :) I was able to easily find this information online. All in all, I am enjoying my machine very much and would recommend it. We have several Breville appliances and they have all served us well.

We are loving the simplicity of using this bread maker, it is hubby’s new toy. Every loaf has worked out to be delicious and can’t wait to try making other things with it like pizza and pasta dough

I’ve always been a hands on bread maker but never considered a bread machine that could do more would be worthwhile As it turns out I was wrong The Custom Loaf Pro is above and beyond just a bread machine it also makes dough for pizza …perfectly easy while prepping the toppings Pasta dough too can be made and it’s silken smooth just the way it should be Then there’s the jam setting for, dare I say it the bread you’ve made earlier or the English Muffin Loaf your about to make, that said I’d never been able to make an EML in a bread machine before but the Custom Loaf Pro made it with such ease (it’s a batter style yeast dough not your trad bread dough) and was, dare I say it, better than ever before So looking forward to our next loaf but deciding which that will be is the tough thing and that’s certainly not the bread it makes

Love the functions and the ease of use, we make a large loaf daily and it so simple to set and forget. The only minor thing that I dont like is the foldable blade - yes it leaves less of a hole in the bread once baked, but it can be difficult to clean and the dough gets caught in the moveable parts. Otherwise excellent machine

I bought this four days ago. I am very used to breadmakers. I have made five loaves and they are all basically awful! If the next one is not OK I shall contact the supplier and ask for a refund. I have taken photographs and made the loaves exactly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Not happy

The Breville Custom Loaf Bread Maker is an expensive piece of garbage. I do not recommend you waste your money on it. Its features sound great in the promo material, but it doesn’t work. Why? That stupid collapsible paddle! It flops down, stays down and won’t come up again mid-way through the kneading process as required. After several heated discussion with Breville customer service (don’t get me going on that!) I was sent two replacement paddles. Same problem. I was sent a replacement machine. Same problem. Breville blames me and won’t help any more. But I’ve been making homemade bread for 20+ years, so don’t tell me! Collapsible paddles are a gimmick that does not work!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its a great product my family loves how easy it is to add nuts and even chocolate chips such an amazing bread machine :)

Makes the best bread! Bread you buy at the groceries or Costco cannot hold a candle.

Lots of programs, easy to use.
