17-IN-1 All Stainless Steel Bread Maker, 2LB Bread Machine BPA-Free Non-Stick 5-Layer Superior Die-Cast Ceramic Pan, Auto Fruit Nut Dispenser, 2 Paddles & Full Touch Panel,15H Timer&Keep Warm, Recipes

It is a decent machine; well, it was. But, if you need a spare part, which you will probably need at some stage, or have a mechanical issue or anything else , don't hold your breath. 'Eonbon,' the brand, doesn't appear to be the manufacturer. Eonbon doesn't supply any contact information for the specific 17-1 Bread Maker in their manual that came with the product. (it's also called the MBF-101.) There is no customer service phone number, no postal address, no email address and no website domain. Looking for them on the internet sends you down rabbit holes. Lastly, don't waste your time and money like I have done on universal spare parts; they are a waste of time and money, as they don't work or don't fit precisely. I was after a replacement paddle and I've now tried 5 and they don't work and seem impossible to adapt to the nozzle.

Hasta ahora todo ha sido excelente con esta máquina de pan. He hecho el Soft bread y 2 veces yogurt con ella, ambos con las recetas que se indican en el manual y han quedado muy bien!! Lo único que no me gusta es que el pan sale muy alto, entonces se hace difícil cortarlo y adaptarlo para sandwich. Me parece que tal vez dividirlo a la mitad para de ahí hacer "medios" sandwiches de tamaño normal funcionaria. Sino pues en vez de hornearlo en la misma máquina tendría que pasarse al horno en otro molde más grande.

I admit, right from the start I am a newbie. So a lot of the terms, such as fermentation, 12 and three were new to me. As I have progressed, I appreciate all the cycles on this bread machine I primarily bought this to do cinnamon swirl raisin bread. I followed the recipe for white bread, and it came out beautiful even though I wasn’t sure about gluten content or buttermilk powder, or whole milk powder, all new terms to me. The step-by-step directions are helpful and in big enough print so you can see it for those of us with macular degeneration. They are explicit about the ingredients and the way you put them in it is not a rocket science he just put the things in the bowl as it’s listed set the digital LED screen to the size loaf, the color of the crust you want and choose the right, setting, presto, you press the start button, and it goes! It’s that simple really! Now, the settings through me, I didn’t quite understand what it sweet bread milky bread or dough cycle, and a variety of other terms to choose from on the setting cycle, but a quick YouTube search answered any questions I had. The book of recipes that come with it is encompassing. I can’t imagine you would need anything more. I think the most important thing I appreciate about this machine is that it has made me search out any questions that I might have and I continue to learn. I’m trying new flours. My only con is the book that comes with. It has an email that is probably not correct anymore because I received a card in the mail from customer service. Thanking me for my purchase and it was a completely different email. That must be why they did not answer my question about ,when and how to put the cinnamon swirl in the cinnamon swirl raisin bread’. Told you I was a beginner. Otherwise, this is a great purchase!

Update after using for more than a year : The pan ceramic layer has almost no visible sign of wearing out. I'm completely and honestly impressed. This is the only single brand pan (that I had several in more than 10 years and including the most expensive Zojurishi) shown such perfect durability. Never seen that before. Buy without any doubt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original review: Bottom line first : Initial runs yielded good results. I’m trusting that this machine will serve us fine. We are very heavy users of bread machine(s). We completely ceased using "modern wheat" 10 years ago. We did not buy any bread or wheat product from store since then. We buy einkorn wheat berries only. We grind them on the spot and make our wonderful simplistic einkorn bread using bread machine. So we use real/literal “whole wheat” flour (that you can’t buy in a package). Our bread machine gets used on every second day and since our flour is dense & gritty (compared to fluffy white flour); we go thru pan replacement about every year. Average machine also lasts about 2-3 years for us. So we’ve been thru many different machines (started with horrible & most expensive Zojirushi) and quite few others. Keepeez is a completely unknown brand to us (as many other Chinese bread machines, almost all arbitrary “brands” which are here now – never to be seen next year). Keepeez had two different models. We chose this more expensive one; because it claims to have fortified / multi-layer pan and a stronger motor (seems to be better fit for our heavy demand). We’ll see how it holds. Our previous machine was a Hamilton Beach. It broke down and we remained with it’s pan. To our surprise; (although it’s taller) it fits in to this Keepeez machine too. Checkout attached pics. One current down side with Keepeez brand is; you can’t find a replacement pan under same brand (I’ll update if seller contacts me with relevant info). But since I know that Hamilton Beach pan fits; I can at least find that one. I also check Amazon and (looking at product pics) this Neretva brand pan also seems to share exact same base structure: https://www.amazon.com/Neretva-768490022642-Bread-Machine-Pan/dp/B0BY8R9YJM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3G1ALP35ETIPE&keywords=B0BY8R9YJM&qid=1701834487&sprefix=b0by8r9yjm%2Caps%2C565&sr=8-1 I’ll update if this Keepeez machine doesn’t hold up to our expectations.

The first Keepeez gave me two perfect, delicious loaves. On the third loaf Stir2 cycle (second kneading), it was furiously spinning, not kneading, nonstop for three minutes or so until the machine smelled like overheating I had to turn it off. Back to Amazon it went. I liked the first two loaves so much that I ordered a replacement, hoping it was just a glitch unique to that one machine. This second machine did the same as the first one on my very first attempt to make a loaf of bread with it, spinning, not kneading, out of control on Stir2 cycle. Back it too went. I had since ordered another brand that has yet to give me a perfect loaf of bread. But is there such a thing as a perfect breadmaker, or is it just my luck?

My 15+ year old bread machine died. I used my backup 20+ year old machine until it started making odd noises. I bought this one on sale and thought I had found the perfect machine. It's not perfect. I rarely bake in the bread machine and I won't be baking at all in this one. The pan is too short so the bread comes out looking odd and not toaster friendly. Bread sticks out of the top of the toaster. It's difficult to get the paddle out of the pan so you can clean the pan. The paddle stays stuck until you use a spoon to dislodge it. Bad design. The menu is odd. It took two tries to find a setting that would produce dough ready to be shaped for the final rise. It's a decent machine once you figure out the menu and cleaning. It will give me nice dough ready to shape for the final rise. If you are looking for a bargain bread machine that will produce decent dough, this machine will suit your budget and your needs.
