7 Reasons For for Choosing the Kenwood BM260
The Kenwood BM260 has a jam making function, however the Ariete 133, the Breville BBM100, the Gorenje BM900WII and the Zojirushi BBCEC20 do not. More ...
Strange but true: bread makers are also very good at making jam. They provide heat and a constant source of stirring, which makes them perfect for easy jam making. Some advanced bread makers come with this program built in.
While you may not use it every day, an auto jam making function on your bread maker will make creating homemade jam super easy!
The Kenwood BM260 has a keep warm function, however the Ariete 133, the Breville BBM100, the Gorenje BM900WII and the Zojirushi BBCEC20 do not have this feature. More ...
A 'keep warm' function allows the bread maker to stay on a very low heat once the bread has been baked, keeping it warm until you're ready to use it.
This function is helpful if you aren't going to be using the bread for a little while after it's baked - it'll still be warm by the time you come to use it.
The Kenwood BM260 has a variable crust browning control, and so do the Ariete 133 and the Breville BBM100, whereas the Gorenje BM900WII and the Zojirushi BBCEC20 do not. More ...
A variable crust browning control is a system that allows you to choose exactly how cooked you want the crust on your bread. You can usually choose between light, medium and dark.
How cooked the crust is on your loaves is an entirely personal preference - this gives you the ability to bake bread exactly the way you want it.
The Kenwood BM260 has a delayed start timer (as do the Breville BBM100 and the Gorenje BM900WII), however the Ariete 133 and the Zojirushi BBCEC20 do not have this feature. More ...
A delayed start timer is a special system that only starts the bread cooking after a certain time has passed. You can load in ingredients, and then after a set delay (1 hour, 3 hours, etc) the device will get to work.
Delayed timers are helpful because it allows you to load up ingredients last thing at night, then set the timer so you wake up in the morning to freshly-baked bread!
The Kenwood BM260 has received a Kagoo Score of 85, whereas the Ariete 133 scored only 71, the Breville BBM100 scored only 66, the Gorenje BM900WII scored only 70 and the Zojirushi BBCEC20 scored only 60.
The Kenwood BM260 only costs $75 to run over five years however the Ariete 133 costs $92 to run (24% more), the Breville BBM100 costs $109 to run (46% more) and the Gorenje BM900WII costs $92 to run (24% more). More ...
The Kenwood BM260 has received 1 award, but the Ariete 133 has received no awards, the Breville BBM100 has received no awards, the Gorenje BM900WII has received no awards and the Zojirushi BBCEC20 has received no awards.
5 Reasons Against for Choosing the Kenwood BM260
The Kenwood BM260 has 11 auto programs, however the Ariete 133 only has 19 auto programs and the Gorenje BM900WII only has 15 auto programs. More ...
'Auto Programs' denotes the amount of built in programs that your bread maker will come with. These allow for the easy creation of everything from loaves and rolls to more specialist types of bread, and even non-baking foods like jam or risotto.
The more programs on your bread maker, the more versatile it'll be, and the more foods you can cook with it.
The Kenwood BM260 is more expensive than the Breville BBM100 by $22.
Only 1 seller sell the Kenwood BM260, but 2 retailers sell the Ariete 133 and 2 retailers sell the Gorenje BM900WII. More ...
The Kenwood BM260 is older than the Ariete 133 by four years, older than the Breville BBM100 by four years, older than the Gorenje BM900WII by three years and older than the Zojirushi BBCEC20 by five years.
Kenwood bread makers have an average rating of only 72%, but Ariete has an average rating of 95%.
