Overview
Loaded with 20 baking programs including gluten-free and a fully custom mode, this 650W bread machine pairs a nonstick ceramic pan with a stainless steel paddle and a 15-hour delay timer for scheduled baking.
Beyond standard loaves, it includes settings for gluten-free bread, dough, yogurt and a customizable program that lets each of the 6 mixing and rising steps be timed individually. Reviewers who compare it with KBS's own 17-in-1 model describe the 20-in-1 as producing a softer, tastier loaf on the same recipe, and several credit responsive customer service for resolving instruction or parts issues.
- 20 baking programs plus custom mode
- Nonstick ceramic pan, stainless steel paddle
- 15-hour delay timer, 60-minute keep warm
- 1, 1.5 and 2 lb loaf capacity, 3 crust settings
Who it's for
Suits regular home bakers who want gluten-free settings, dough and pasta programs, or full control over the rise and bake steps, alongside standard loaf baking. Less suited to someone who just wants a simple, one-button loaf without learning multiple settings.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently reported good results across standard, whole grain and gluten-free loaves, and several praised responsive customer service when instructions or parts fell short. The most common criticism was the recipe book and instructions, described by more than one buyer as incomplete or missing basic guidance, and one reviewer noted the paddle isn't ceramic coated despite expecting it to be.

Is the paddle ceramic coated like the pan?
