WHY WE LOVE IT: Baguettes, dinner rolls, sandwich loaves, and pizza represent examples of what we consider the Zo's best use: kneading dough, then taking it out to shape as you please and bake in your oven. The Zo does indeed knead dough more effectively — and with much less user-time and effort — than any other appliance we've tried. There's nothing easier than putting the ingredients into the bucket, pushing "start," and coming back 90 minutes later to thoroughly kneaded, beautifully risen dough. Make pizza, bread sticks, dinner rolls, focaccia, sweet braids — anything you like. And sure, you can bake a loaf in the machine, if you want. But we prefer having a little creative fun and going beyond the standard loaf. And Zo makes it simple.
Want to make golden dinner rolls, scalloped potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce, using your Zo? Here's how.

I can only compare it to other ones that I have owned and this one has more features. I like that it has 2 paddles for kneading. Very stylish and and programmable too. Very good product that is much sought after.

Made my first loaf of bread, it turned out great! The machine is very heavy duty. Love the customer support!

This machine is a kitchen workhorse, replacing an old machine for me that finally gave out. Some of the loaves occasionally come out slightly higher on one side than the other, as other reviewers suggest, but it's a homemade product, after all. The machine comes with very useful tips sheets from KAF that got me started in the right direction. Also, my machine had some operational issues and KAF was great about helping me to diagnose the problem and quickly resolved the situation for me. The customer service behind the product is very good, which can't be said about many things these days! The combination of a good machine, great customer service, and baking information that exceeds that provided by the manufacturer make this package a great deal in my book.

I debated in buying this breadmaker in part due to the negative reviews of it being an expensive dough machine. I received it as a Christmas gift after thinking about it for over a year. It has yet to disappoint. I have made dough probably every other day (mostly pain de mie for the family) and with rare exception it is spectacular. I have also used the machine for risotto, mac and cheese and banana bread. In addition, I have made several loaves of fantastic bread. I do find that the recipes on the KAF website are better for in-machine baking than those that come with the Zo. I am definitely not disappointed and would highly recommend a Zo to anyone interested in making their family's daily bread.

I like everything except the reliability. I am not so worried about baking bread in the machine but I do need a lot of help with kneading before using my own oven. I have used the machine almost daily since Christmas and have checked and rechecked ingredients and instructions but what keeps happening is that the right side blade kneads perfectly but the left side does not do its job. So if I bake in the machine, the right side of the loaf is perfect but the left looks like I kneaded very poorly by hand, it is lumpy and not smooth so it does not rise properly and the loaf looks sloped. If I take the dough out of the machine before baking I have to try to do extra work on half of it which is not very successful. I thought maybe something wasn't level so I have tried the machine on several surfaces in several locations all with the same results. So I guess I like the idea of this machine but maybe it has too many moving parts and features to do anything really well. Not what I had hoped for :(...
Please call us at 800-827-6836 for assistance. If this is truly defective (or you decide you just don't want it) we'd be happy to take if back for a refund.

I have wanted this machine for years and this year I purchased one so that my wife could give it to me for Christmas. Using KAF unbleached bread flour, I started out with the basic white bread loaf to get the feel of the machine. It was entirely a success. This is saying something because I never could master my old bread machine. I found the instructional video a giant help. My next loaf was a bit of an experiment because I had never gotten any recipe where 6 grain cereal is added to turn out anything close to being able to be enjoyed. That, too, was a giant success. Tonight, I am going to make some homemade rolls, using the dough course. I am very pleased with this machine.

It couldn't be easier to use. It's really nice to be able to make dough and work on something else simultaneously. I'm impressed!

I don't live in VT but we are in the area every summer and of course I visit the store. I have been baking bread for years in a hand-me-down Oster and never had any problems. Of course everytime we visit the store I drool over the zo and it has always been highly recommended. Fast forward, got one for Christmas this year. I really wanted to love this machine but 3 loaves of bread have been a disaster. I'm able to accept the learning curve of a new machine but I'm so disappointed. I hope you have a zo machine class in the summer, 'cause clearly I need help. Basic Bread is very dry and does not brown on top. Not at all like that perfect loaf the lady pops out of the pan on the DVD. Are there tips somewhere on your website?
We're sorry this hasn't been an easy transition for you. We're here to help, please call the Baker's Hotline M-F 9am to 9pm or Sat and Sun 9am to 5pm at 802-649-3717.

I bought this machine about a year ago when my venerable Panasonic finally bit the dust. The Zo has yet to make a decent loaf of bread on its own. My first problem is with function: Every loaf comes out uncooked on top and needs additional baking in an oven to brown it properly. Even with the crust setting "dark" and with a custom program using the maximum possible cook time of 70 minutes, the top of the loaf is still uncooked. And it won't allow you to program additional cook time after the cycle completes, until it cools down, so you really do need to finish the baking a separate oven. I guess that the thermostat that controls the baking is improperly calibrated. The second problem is with the design. With my old Panasonic I often loaded it at night for a timed loaf to be done in the morning. The Panasonic had a yeast dispenser. It mixed the ingredients immediately, allowing for the often-necessary small adjustments to get the dough to the right consistency. Then it waited and dropped the yeast in the middle of the night and finished the process. With the Zo you load the yeast on top of the flour and liquid when you load the machine. It doesn't start mixing until the middle of the night, and you have no opportunity to add a bit more water or flour to tweak the consistency of the dough. (You also need to be right there, with a pre-heated oven ready to go, when it finishes its cycle, so you can finish the baking process.) The Zo is probably an excellent choice if you're going to use it only to prepare dough for later manual baking, but it's a lousy stand-alone "bread maker". I finally gave up and ordered another Panasonic (for half the price) - I'll give the Zo to someone who needs a good dough mixer.
Sorry this isn't working as it's supposed to. Please give us a call at 800-827-6836. This should be working better than this. We'll gladly replace it.
