Reviewers say the T-Fal Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker is a consistent bread machine that produces a good loaf of bread. It is a mid-priced bread machine, less than the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 (*Est. $200), but more than the Panasonic SD-YD250 (*Est. $130) or the Sunbeam 5891 (*Est. $55). The double blades do an excellent job of thoroughly mixing all ingredients, owners say, and the unique baguette pans allow bakers to produce sandwich-sized loaves with ease. Many users like the multiple baking cycles, but most say to avoid the keep-warm feature, as it will quickly dry out your loaf.

We found useful professional reviews at the Toronto Star newspaper and by About.com's guide to cooking equipment. More than 20 owner reviewers have rated the T-Fal Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker at Amazon.com and nearly 20 owner reviews exist at Cooking.com, but only a handful have posted at Epinions.com. While this offers valuable insight into how the T-Fall Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker operates, there are not enough reviews to determine long-term performance.

Vicky Sanderson tests the T-Fal Home Bread Baguette (sold in the U.S. as the Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker) and two other breadmakers. She doesn't rank or recommend models, and the reviews for all three machines are mostly positive, focusing on features unique to each model. The Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker boasts the largest viewing window and two kneading paddles for thorough mixing, as well as the ability to make four sandwich-sized baguettes.

Only about two dozen owners review the T-Fal Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker, giving it mixed reviews. Most say they are happy with its operation and say it can bake a good loaf, but they caution that the keep-warm function will very quickly dry out loaves and render them inedible. A few customers complained that T-Fal was less than helpful with returns and service.

4. About.com

Cooking equipment guide Jessica Harlan says she is pleasantly surprised by the T-Fal Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker. She praises it as easy to use and says it "makes bread with a nice crisp crust and well-developed flavor and texture." This double-paddle breadmaker has multiple settings and features an innovative baguette pan that produces mini-loaves of this kind of bread.

The T-Fal Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker has only a handful of reviews at Epinions.com, but it does have a high rating from those customers. All like the breadmaker overall and say it bakes a consistent loaf. They love the baguette feature. A few complain that the LED screen is hard to read, the mixing blades can be lost in the loaf and that the beep is loud.
