Zojirushi Bread Maker

Mine arrived a week ahead of schedule. Two loaves done to perfection. There was a terrible buzz-rattle as the motor drove the kneading blades. I got most of the noise eliminated by tightening every visible screw and bolt but the obnoxious noise indicates a serious design flaw or construction error. Compared to my older Zo, the new case is light metal instead of thick plastic so, yeah, it’s noisy. The second 40 watt heater in the lid is a serious boost to better bread. The new control panel is easier to read. There is a weird feature that prospective buyers should know: when a course is initiated, the time on the display does not count down to the end of the bake cycle. Instead, the display shows the time of day the bread will be ready. Cannot be changed. Except for the unfortunate rattle and buzz, this is a great upgrade from my ancient Zo. Back in a few weeks after some more baking and eating of luxury calories.
UPDATE: The buzz and hum are still obnoxious but they only show up if the motor is loaded a certain way, usually during whole wheat cycles. I’ve been delighted with the machine’s performance and the output and would recommend this unit to anyone shopping for a huge, heavy duty, massively built, one kilogram capacity breakmaker with flexible software. This thing is a monster.
