Title: Extremely unreliable bread maker
Product review: I purchased this machine as a replacement for a Panasonic which had worn out, and I have been most disappointed in the Zo's performance. So far, every loaf has been defective. I have tried everything I can think of to improve the quality of the bread--bought new flour and yeast, [...] with the recipes, all without improving the result. The crust is very uneven, with the bottom being too thick and brown, while the top is too light. The texture of the bread is heavy and doughy. One or two loaves have been barely edible, the rest hardly so. I don't know what to do, but I am exasperated after paying such a huge price. I owned a Zojirushi several years ago and found it to be reliable and efficient, but this new model is absolutely worthless as a bread maker. The machine did receive many good reviews on Amazon.com, however, so perhaps the one I received is a lemon.
