Level with the Cuisinart Compact Automatic Bread Maker CBK-110

The Cuisinart Compact Automatic Bread Maker CBK-110 and the Zojirushi Home Bakery Mini Breadmaker BB-HAC10 score the same, so either is a safe pick. The Cuisinart Compact Automatic Bread Maker CBK-110 goes first because it has been rated by more owners.

About the Zojirushi BB-HAC10

The BB-HAC10 is the small machine in Zojirushi's Home Bakery line. It bakes a 1-pound loaf and measures about 8.5 by 11.25 by 12.25 inches, so it fits where a standard 2-pound machine will not. It has an LCD control panel and a carry handle. It runs on 120V at 450 watts and carries a cULus listing.

The menu has eight settings: basic bread (regular or firm), soft, French, dough, cookie/pasta dough, cake, jam and quick bread. Zojirushi says the quick cycle makes bread in under 2 hours. The delay timer runs up to 13 hours, so a loaf can finish in time for breakfast. Zojirushi's page lists bread textures of regular, firm and soft.

The menu has no gluten-free program and no sourdough starter setting. Zojirushi's page lists an instruction manual and a recipe booklet with the machine. The kneading blade, baking pan, measuring cup and measuring spoon are sold separately as replacement parts.

What owners report about the Zojirushi BB-HAC10

We found little owner feedback for this exact model that we could open, so there is no firm pattern to report on reliability or long-term wear.

One home baker on The Fresh Loaf forum compared it with a Panasonic mini machine. They found the crumb comparably good and the kneading decent. They also found the top crust barely browned, the flavor milder, and a lower baking temperature than the Panasonic. That is one person's loaf, not a trend.

Who the Zojirushi BB-HAC10 suits

The BB-HAC10 suits a single person or a couple who finish a loaf within a day or two, and anyone who wants a machine that stays on a small countertop. The delay timer and the dough, jam, cake and cookie/pasta dough settings give it more range than its size suggests.

Look elsewhere if you bake for a family or want sandwich-size slices. It makes only a 1-pound loaf. Gluten-free bakers should look at the Hamilton Beach 2lb Bread Maker 29982MN or the KITCHENARM 29-in-1 SMART Bread Machine. If you want a larger loaf from a compact body, the Cuisinart Compact Automatic Bread Maker CBK-110 bakes 2 pounds. It is also priced as a premium small machine, so check that the size is worth it to you.

How we score it

Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Too few review sites cover bread machines for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 17 models for this guide before settling on these ten.

Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
