Last Updated on August 17, 2016 by Cassie Lyons
There’s nothing better than the taste – and smell – of fresh baked breads. With the Sunbeam Bread Maker, you can enjoy all of your favorite breads, including whole wheat and French bread selections. This programmable machine uses 600-watts of power that can make up to 1 ½ to 2 pounds of bread. Baking has never been easier with the 12 cooking functions, 3 shade selections and a 13-hour delay bake feature. The electric home bread maker also includes an LED display and easy control panel that allows you to control your baked goods with the touch of a button. Let’s take a look at a similar bread machine and see how it stacks up.
A similar product is the Cuisinart bread maker, which is a programmable electric home bread maker. It features a 12 cook function, 3 crust selections and makes the same 2 pounds of bread. Although a popular bread maker, product owners have been more satisfied with the Sunbeam model, as it’s cheaper, offers the same features and has better temperature control.
On the downside however, some online reviews indicated that they had difficulty with the loaves deflating while cooking. Fortunately, most reviewers suggested that by tweaking such ingredients as the yeast, salt or sugar, you can find a happy balance that won’t cause the loaves to fall. Other reviewers found that their own recipes worked better than the ones given with the machine.
The Positives
600-watt programmable breadmaker makes 1-1/2- or 2-pound loaves of bread. Bread can be ready up to 13 hours later with the unit’s 13-hour delay bake. 12 cooking functions which include basic, French, whole wheat, quick and sweet. Three shade selections are available for baking crust to individual preferences. Convenient LED display, an easy-to-clean touch-control panel, and a steady base.
The Negatives
The LCD display doesn’t tell you what stage the bread is in while baking. The bread can deflate while baking, so it can end up being a little concave.
So What’s The Scoop?
Overall, the Sunbeam bread maker is an affordable, simple bread maker machine that delivers fresh baked breads for all of your meals!
