I recently purchased the KITCHENARM 29-in-1 Smart Bread Machine, and I couldn't be happier with my investment. From its exceptional performance in bread-making to the top-notch customer service I experienced, this appliance has truly exceeded my expectations.
The bread maker consistently produces the most delicious, perfectly baked loaves of bread. Its user-friendly interface and intuitive controls make selecting different settings a breeze. Whether I'm in the mood for a classic white loaf, a hearty whole wheat bread, or even experimenting with specialty recipes, this machine handles it all effortlessly. The customizable crust options also add a wonderful touch to suit my family's preferences.

What truly sets the KITCHENARM 29-in-1 Smart Bread Machine apart is the outstanding customer service I received. A few weeks after purchasing the product, I encountered some issues with the pound cake recipe I reached out to their customer service department.
Their response was swift and incredibly helpful. Their representative Tony was not only polite but also genuinely invested in resolving my issue. They guided me through the steps to track down why I was having issues with the pound cake recipe when all the other breads came out perfect.
The level of care and attention I received was truly remarkable. Tony stayed in touch until the issue was fully resolved, we were able to determine I needed to make an adjustment to the flour I was using, that little change was all I needed, the pound cake now comes out perfect. This level of commitment to customer satisfaction left me feeling valued and appreciative of the brand's dedication to its customers.
In conclusion, the KITCHENARM 29-in-1 Smart Bread Machine is a fantastic appliance that consistently delivers mouthwatering loaves of bread (and pound cake). Its ease of use, variety of settings, and customizable options make it a must-have for any bread enthusiast. The icing on the cake is the exceptional customer service that went above and beyond to assist me in a time of need. I wholeheartedly recommend the KITCHENARM 29-in-1 Smart Bread Machine to anyone seeking a reliable and user-friendly appliance backed by a company that truly cares about its customers' experiences.

SHORT VERSION:
Box was dented and dented the breadmaker. It did not affect function.

I made Sourdough (1.5lbs) using the STARTER menu (18) and Sour Dough menu (19). I used more (1/2 tsp?) yeast for my 2nd loaf to see if I can get a lighter, more bubbly texture inside.

[It is pictured. It's similar to the one with lesser yeast. The yeast I used for both loaves was fresh, unopened.] The only difference was the top of the bread came out with a slightly higher crust. Crust color Medium.
I may try again with more yeast or use the simple French Bread option.

There is a recipe book and a book on how to use the bread maker. You will need BOTH books for some recipes (E.g. Sourdough).

Lots of great tips in the book, including how NOT to make a hole in your bread; take the paddle out before baking. I suggest reading through the manual and learning the tips before trying to make bread.

There are a variety of things to make with this machine including rice wine and yogurt.

This machine CAN be easy to use. Once you understand how to use it and to put the ingredients in, IN ORDER that the recipe specifies, it's just a matter of measuring well (I'm using a scale (weight) as recommended for water and flour) and pushing a button.

Bread sizes are 1lb, 1.5lbs, & 2lbs, Crust color, time, and other variables can be adjusted AND there's an option for HOMEMADE. Lots to learn. Plenty of options.

FULL VERSION:
The box was in another box when the breadmaker arrived. BOTH boxes were dented. The inner box, housing the breadmaker was pretty severe (see pic #4) but I didn't notice the gigantic dent until after I got the burned off the bread basket chemicals and set up the tools.
FYI - The giant dent is in the casing, doesn't touch the basket or affect the baking.

So far, I've made Sour Dough STARTER and Sour Dough Bread. My first loaf came out well with a decent crust, however I didn't feel like it was the Sour Dough bread for which I spent additional time making and waiting for starter. It wasn't great. It was bread.
*I'm currently making another loaf (same 1.5lbs size) and added more yeast and more salt, hoping the texture will resemble a truer Sour Dough.

*And...
[It is pictured. It's the SAME as the one with less yeast. The yeast I used for both loaves was fresh, unopened.] The only difference was the top of the bread came out with a slightly higher crust. I may try again with more yeast or use the simple French Bread option.The color of this Crust is set to MEDIUM it's the auto programmed setting for Menu 19.

For me, two books was a little confusing to use at first. I took time to actually read about the machine and it was worth it, because I easily take the paddle out of the dough loaf before baking it and avoid all sorts of bread trauma. The machine offers a full 3 minutes (and then resumes automatically) to perform this function, which takes about 15 seconds and however long it takes for you to get the machine when it beeps, plenty of times to warn you that it's time to remove the paddle if you choose.

The recipe book is impressive with loads of different breads to make, even accounting for different yeasts (e.g. active dry, fast-acting) flours (bread, all-purpose, gluten-free) and STARTER if applicable. The tech writer who came up with that deserves kudos. ONE THING about the book, the fractions are VERY difficult to see if you do not have 20/20 vision, be prepared to use your phone or a magnifying glass, so you don't mistake the numbers. The machine also includes recipes for rice wine and yogurt.

You can NOT make back to back loaves. The closest you can get is about an hour with a special process that is specified in the book. Otherwise, it's about 4 hours between batches. The Sour Dough STARTER took about 2 hours and the Bread took a total of 4.
Today's bread, the 2nd loaf, only takes 3.5 hours starting with a clean bread basket and room temperature STARTER.

Three size loave options - 1lb, 1.5lbs, & 2lbs, crust color, time, and other variables can be adjusted AND there's an option for HOMEMADE. Lots to learn. Plenty of options and ways to add extras to the bread.

Very easy to clean. After learning the books, bread will be a matter of measuring correctly (using weight) and knowing which button to push.

4 STARS is for the GIANT DENT - The machine fairly light, rectangular (easier to store in a cabinet and pretty nice looking new and unharmed.

Hope you find a new bread you like. I'm going to try!

I have been making bread steadily with this Kitchenarm bread maker for a few months now, and I have zero regrets and lots of good experiences to report. I bought this as a way to eliminate from our bread some of the preservatives and other additives in commercial products, and it's been a great experience.

First, as long as you read the instructions (in both the user manual and recipe book) and follow them, you will have no problems. You add everything to the pan (don't forget to put the mixing/kneading paddle in the bottom first!) in the same order as written, and you can't go wrong.

The machine automatically sets for a 1.5 (medium) loaf of white bread, so that's what I made for the first several loaves since all I had to do was add the ingredients and hit 'Start.' But I've branched out since then, became a little braver with the buttons (easy!) and have made several varieties, all excellent. Many of the company's tested recipes come with the machine as well.

A little hook, along with measuring cups and spoons, comes with the appliance to fish out the paddle in case it comes out with the cooked loaf, but, so far, the paddle has stayed in the pan when I dump the loaf out. And about the paddle hole, I got stressed at first because I thought there would be a giant paddle-sized crater left in the bread, but it's not a big deal at all. If you don't want even the smallest hole, the machine can remind you when it's time to take the paddle out.

One of the best features, though, is customer service. Tony is awesome and will help you with any issue, recipe, etc. with enthusiastic kindness and respect.

So start making bread! You can do it!

I'm so proud I can identify as a 'baker' now lol... I've never baked any bread/cake before but so far I've got wonderful homemade bread thanks to this machine. They say u should buy bread makers in thrift stores because they'll be a lot cheaper.. I debated myself so much but in the end I decided to get this one, specifically for its customize function and the well-praised customer support. Sometimes u just need that peace in mind. So far I'm very happy with the purchase! The machine comes with a manual book, a recipe book, and 3x measuring cups and spoons, very convenient. U'll need ur own bread knife, oven mitts, and of course ingredients! In the picture is the very first loaf I made - chocolate bread using #1 menu. It's kinda fool-proof, as long as u have the right ingredients and can follow instructions. I was so nervous but it came out amazing! The inside was soft and spongy with puffs of dark chocolate, white the outside has just the perfect crust. (U need to remove the bread immediately from the pan when it's done baking, otherwise the crust may not be that good.) All my roommates and I love it! There was a guy who first told me it's 'too much work' for him to operate the machine, but after 2 loaves he said he's gonna buy it one day lol. My notes tho: 1. When on Knead 1, there can be pieces of wet flour sticking on the sidewalls of the pan. U can see it through the viewing window, I just get a spatula and scrape it down onto the dough. 2. I wish they would add the nutrition values of the bread so health-conscious people like me can have a good estimation of the macro nutrition of the bread.

Kitchenarm 29-in-1 arrived yesterday around 4 pm. I opened it up, followed initial set up directions (easy), then around 5 pm, I started mixing ingredients for Recipe 1, Plain White Bread 1-1/2 lb size. Hit the start button around 5:30. Just over 3 hrs later, I pulled the loaf out of the machine (see picture); let it cool for a few and took loaf out of pan. At around 9 pm, I cut a slice, buttered it up and devoured it. Outstanding! We had a bread machine 30 years ago and only used it a couple times. As I type this (24 hrs after machine arrived), my wife is working on a glutton free loaf. She can't have glutton, but I can. Time to find my next attempt. BTW, I'm an engineer and spent several days comparing several (maybe 20) machines, their features, $$, reviews, U-tube videos, etc.
