ホームベーカリー Virtuoso® Plus BB-PDC20

The extra heater on the lid made a real difference—my first loaf had a beautifully browned, crisp crust all the way around. I love how evenly my 2-lb loaves come out now.

I was skeptical about the dual kneading blades actually making a difference, but the crumb on my white sandwich loaves comes out way more even than my old machine managed. The lid heater gives the top a proper golden crust instead of that pale, doughy look. Two-pound loaves fit my regular pan perfec

I've been baking the same whole wheat recipe for years and this is the first machine where the loaf actually comes out shaped like a real bakery loaf instead of a tall block. The dual kneading blades seem to do the trick, the crust is even all around including the top.
