This is the cutest little bread maker. It is perfect for two people or a family of four that wants continuously fresh-baked bread. I am a fan of all Zojirushi products.

I've owned this one for years and it still works great. I recommend getting a rice washer, which looks a colander to rinse your rice before putting it in the non-stick rice pot. It will save your pot and keep it beautiful and new. Mine barely has any nicks on it after all these years! Get one!

Great for traveling with your dog or long hikes and walks. Don't hook it on your belt. Just stick it into your backpack where you put the water.

Bought two of these, one for each kid in college (one boy and one girl). Yes, my son loves this unit too and uses it all the time. It certainly going to be something they will keep until they're married, and maybe even beyond. I decided to get these instead of the Zojirushi because it's cheaper, but I've found the quality just as good.
