Product Description
The Home Bakery Mini comes with a measuring spoon, measuring cup, instructional video, and a manual/recipe book. It has a user-friendly LCD control panel, cookie/pasta dough setting to prepare homemade cookies and pasta dough, and also bakes cakes. The convenient viewing window allows you to watch the process and its handle makes transporting it easy. The crust control allows you to choose between light and regular crusts. The 13-hour delay timer allows for fresh baked bread in the morning and fresh jams are made in only 90 minutes. The compact design makes it ideal for kitchens with limited counter space and ease of use. With three bread textures to choose from, regular, firm or soft, you can make bread to your liking. The quick baking cycle prepares bread in under 2 hours and a 7-minute power failure backup is a wonderful accessory. Zojirushi Home Bakery Mini Breadmaker Videos

A wonderful little appliance July 14, 2010
Ronald N. Crawford (Las Vegas, NV United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't do nearly what this little jewel is capable of due to a restricted diet that allows for only low carb products, I 'bake' a variety of cheesecakes, coconut flour and flax seed flour treats for myself and little else. In this regard, the Z allows me a very low mess and easy method to have my treats on hand at all times, the ability to program it only adds to its versatility and for a single person, this unit's size is perfect. I recently loaned it to a friend of mine who has a much freer dietary needs profile and wanted to experiment with it for a couple of weeks before committing to buying it. She loved it so much, she bought both this and the larger version to handle different chores, and is in turn creating a small army of followers who have come to marvel at her baking skills and output. The included manual is a good foundation to teach you the basics, and even a basic curiosity vented through the internet will introduce you to a landslide of creative uses for this thing. It is on par with my Kuerig coffee maker as far as my love for it goes, and that was something I'd never thought I'd say.
The Perfect Bread Machine July 7, 2010
M. Caldwell (Atlanta)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This machine is perfect for a small family. It works consistently and flawlessly. It fits in a small space on the counter nect to our range. The bread is wonderful--just follow the directions carefully. The recipes are easy. The bread makes a nice hostess gift when we go to dinner at friends' houses. One pound loaves are just right. (Get fleischman's yeast for bread machines.)
Comparison with full-sized Zojirushi BBCCX20 and Breadman July 5, 2010
Edward Barnett (Cambridge, MA United States)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is my fourth bread machine in the past 15-20 years. I started out using the original Zojirushi, which was a great machine (but eventually died after many years of loyal service). More recently, I had been using a full-size Zojirushi BBCCX20 and a Breadman Ultimate. I still use both the Breadman and the Zojirushi BBCCX20 for specific purposes (I bake a lot of bread), but the Zo Mini is the only machine that stays permanently on my counter now. It has become, by far and away, my favorite bread machine.
For starters, I should explain why I still use the Breadman and the full-size Zo:
o The Breadman (which seems to be sold under a variety of private labels these days) is the most flexible machine on the market in terms of the range of cycles and the ability to adjust the cycle timing. I especially like the Pause button for breads that refuse to proof as quickly as expected. The motor is weak, though, and the machine is very noisy.
o The full-size Zo has a great motor. It's the only option for making 2-pound loaves of whole-wheat bread. It also has the ability to program custom cycles (but no Pause button once a cycle is under way). On the downside, it has a very annoying beep to signal when it's time to add fruit/nuts -- the beep goes for a very long time and can't be silenced, which is a problem if you use the machine on a delay setting to bake bread overnight. Like the Breadman, it also takes up quite a bit of counter space.
Now, on to the Zojirushi Mini:
+ The Zo mini produces the perfect size loaf for every day. The larger machines are great for producing 1.5 to 2 pound loaves, which are the right size for a big gathering. But a loaf of that size is too big for everyday meals. The Zo Mini, on the other hand, produces a loaf that's perfect for everyday use -- we generally eat half the loaf as soon as it comes out of the machine, then finish off the loaf the next day before it goes stale.
+ The Zo mini takes up less than half the counter space of the full-size loaf machines. It's so small that I can leave it out all the time, which makes it really easy to bake a loaf of bread on a whim.
+ The Zo mini seems to live up to the Zojirushi reputation in terms of motor power. I've had no trouble with very stiff whole-wheat doughs.
+ The Zo mini is very quiet. The difference between the Zo and my Breadman in terms of noise is amazing. This is especially important if you like to use the machine on a delay setting overnight so that you can wake up to fresh bread.
On the downside:
- The Zo mini does not have the same options as the full-size Zo to create customized baking cycles, and it still doesn't have a Pause button (why hasn't Zojirushi figured this out by now?).
- The beeper that indicates when to add fruit/nuts still can't be turned off. On the positive side, though, the beeper only beeps about five times on the mini, which is a huge improvement over the 15-beep cycle on the full-size Zo (which always kept me from using the full-size Zo overnight).
In a nutshell: The Zojirushi Mini is the closest thing I've found to the perfect bread machine. It's compact and simple, with a powerful motor, and it produces the ideal size loaf (i.e., one that you can finish before it goes stale). Although I continue to use my bigger machines for holidays, the Zo Mini is now the only bread machine we use on a regular basis. It's a great addition to the kitchen if you enjoy fresh bread.
Never a bad loaf January 7, 2010
Nancy Jane (Alaska)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I researched the machines and decided on this model. I was not disappointed. I've been using it for months now mainly on the setting for Rapid Rise yeast which cuts down the baking time. I tried cookie dough & Jam once but that was not worth the trouble. The cake settings still come out looking like a loaf cake but that's to be expected. I make bread every couple days for two of us and we've been very happy never having a single bad loaf.
LONG TIME BREADMACHINE USER June 15, 2009

We are long time users of Zojirushi breadmachines (over 25 years). We had always bought the larger machines before, but now that we are only two at home, this machine suits us better. We were discarding portions of the larger loafs regularly, but now with the smaller loafs, we have fresh bread almost every day or at least every other day. Zojirushi makes a fine product. These machines last a long time and are trouble free, easy to operate and the recipes are good. We have recommended these machines for others and have bought them as a gift for family members. The small machine is perfect for a family of two; takes up the space of a small toaster. Thank you Zojurushi for producing a breadmachine for small families!!!
