The Zojirushi BBCC-X20 is a highly advanced bread machine that boasts sourdough-starter and custom cycles. It has two mixing paddles, which do a better job than a single paddle at mixing and kneading. Owners say the Zojirushi bread machine is very flexible and can make jam, cakes and even meatloaf. Most prefer the Zojirushi breadmaker's horizontal loaves -- which look like store-bought sandwich bread -- to machines that bake vertically. While reviewers agree that the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 is the best full-featured bread machine, those who don't care about custom cycles or specialty items like jam and meatloaf can get by with something far less expensive like the Panasonic SD-YD250 (*Est. $130) or the basic Sunbeam 5891 (*Est. $55).
The Zojirushi BBCC-X20 bread machine has garnered more than 500 owner-written reviews at Amazon.com and nearly 300 at Cooking.com, which are the best places to judge owner satisfaction. We also found more than 80 owner-written ratings at Epinions.com.

Robert Barnett bakes more than two dozen loaves of bread in his Zojirushi BBCC-X20, noting that the machine handles even the stiffest dough with ease. This is the highest-rated bread machine of the 13 models reviewed by Barnett. Still, he says he would like to see a touch screen, interior lights and longer rise cycles.
