First it will not save money. Its for bread makers club or for someone who is avoiding harmful chemical of bread in market. Or glutain protein.

Let me say that it has to be 3 review.
1. Atta maker
2. For Fresher in bread making
3. For experienced bread maker

1. Atta - it does job well but you have to practice a little. Every flour is different & requires different quantity of water hence machine cant predict & that you have to practice. A tip, add oil if you feel its not soft & you can also increase time.

2. Fresher bread maker - many review says the handbook is wrong - its not true - try simple bread 1 option. Use large scoop for sugar & oil & small for yeast & salt. You will get a perfect bread. & home made bread don't look perfect like market one... And it wont last long.
Tips: get good live yeast - yeast dies if its stored long. Look for expired. Try getting fresh yeast
Try bread improver - they might contain chemicals. Now enzyme(protein - analyze) is not bad. It will burn starch & will help in bread rise making it protein rich.
But it should not contain large quantity of preservative or emulsifier. I tried "Urban platter V+ bread improver"& its good. Not sure of chemical quantity yet. I add a very very small pinch & it does its job.

3. Expert bread maker: makes perfect bread but no custamize option bro, except general time delay. Cant customize for various stages... But we can play around if you have time. Dont bake from above so no onion bread or any that bakes topping. No fun of kneading. Thats the machine for. I love to knead... If you are looking to make many kinds of expertly made bread, then its not this. Its very good for basic & one can play around for house hold breads.
Overall very good at this price.

Update: try milk instead of water & dont add sugar or just a little & you will get milk bread.

Good aata maker - Product design needs some improvement

Reviewed in India on 3 June 2020

Colour: Steel GreyVerified Purchase

I bought this primarily for making aata. I have been using this for the past two weeks and the results are pretty amazing. The kneaded dough is perfect! just like hand-kneaded dough - BUT there's a catch!
Firstly the ratio specified in the recipe book is wrong. For making chappati aata the book says to add 3.5 cups of aata & 330ml water. The correct ratio is 3 cups aata & *at least* 330 ml water (although you can add slightly more water depending upon your preferences. But 3.5 cups aata just doesn't work with 330 ml water - it never comes all together)
Second, the bread pan or the main utensil in which you will do all your kneading/baking has a handle attached to it and the point where the handle is attached to the bread pan has sharp edges.
Third, The display where you select your program is not backlit - it should be backlit. It's 2020 & backlit displays are cheap.
Fourth, When the aata maker finishes kneading the dough. The machine keeps on beeping & takes quite a while to stop. Normally there should be a stopping mechanism for the beep. Like when you open the lid the beeping should stop - like a microwave.
Fifth, Sometimes you made need a second run on your aata (as in when if the dough does not get all together) in that case. You must either wait for the first run to end and the beeping to stop - which takes quite a while and then the machine resets itself to come back to usable state. OR you unplug the machine, plug it back it AND hold the start button until it resets the program menu to 1 and then you can choose your program mode (like 11 for chappati aata)
Sixth, The cleaning depends upon how careful you are when you put aata/other ingredients in the bread pad. There is a substantial space between the bread pan and the machine's internal body. (Which might be necessary from an engineering standpoint - to have an even heat/airflow - for baking) But if you just carelessly throw in ingredients like aata, they might drop inside the machine and you'll have to clean it. - This cleaning can be relatively easy for dry aata but if you are making a Jam (Yes this machine can even make Jams! - amazing) in that case the cleaning might be messier.

Kent was good on the followups. they sent me a text message thanking me for the purchase, They also send me 2 emails asking for a review which is why I posted this. I hope kent reads this & takes into account these points in the future versions.

Verdict: Do I recommend this machine?
YES 100% Aata making is very messy & tiring It took me two weeks to figure out the ratios myself to make aata according to my preferences & now it works FLAWLESSLY

Okay so this is a must buy for every household, especially for bachelors. Let me list out some pros and cons:
1) Atta kneading is flawless. Use the exact measurements specified in the recipe book (you can leave out the oil though) and the dough comes out ready to make chappatis. Like no extra work needed.
2) Bread ❤️ oh gosh where do I even begin. The bread this bread maker makes is just amazing, tastes much better than those bought from bakeries. You can play around with the ingredients, alternatively adding a bit of oatmeal flour, olive oil to change the taste and texture of the bread. It's so easy, even a child can make bread.
3) Pizza dough when made with hands gets a bit messy. This machine makes the work so much easier in less time (1.5 hours).
4) Stir fry- this is a god sent feature. You can dry roast peanuts, poha, suji, moong dal, and keep them ready for other recipes. Doing this over the gas was such a hassle.
5) For baking cakes, the recipe book asks for yeast. I use a mixer grinder to combine the butter, eggs, and sugar. And then pour this mixture into the bread pan, adding the dry ingredients. Advice to add vanilla or any other essence. Then start machine in atta kneading mode, once all ingredients are combined, go for bake (30 mins should do). This is the only place where preset menu doesn't work that well so i use this method and the cakes come out flawless.
Cons:
The only con is that for bread, since the cooking time is high, advisable to run this just before you sleep at night and wake up to fresh and warm bread.
No regrets. Recommending everyone to buy this!!

The pros...
1. My review will be just adding to over 2400 reviews
2. Well packed and well delivered
3. Easy to install and easy to start
4. Easy to use
The cons....
1. Instruction booklet is full of mistakes, incorrect directions and not dependable. Kent could have added atleast additional sheets with updated corrected instructions or coming up with some updated softcopy downloadable.
2. You have to learn from your mistakes and some past experiences shared in reviews and YT
3. We are doing the same and learning to get the best bread...till then our breads have come out as....not well baked...so we have increased the timing....as not fluppy...so we increased the fermentation time....changed the yeast....changed the flour...etc...reduced...increased ..changed...the oil, sugar, salt.....similarly ...water temperature...with a focus on coming out with a good bread automatically....we are still trying...till then the birds and the cat and dogs are having a good time

Hence 3 star...for no good easy method being available ..which has been successfully achieved by many.

Otherwise, it is a waste of money and should be rated even less

Purchased it for 6499/-Made chapati aata. Followed book instructions. Also made breads. Good results every time. To make milk bread ,in basic bread recipe ,just replace water with milk and select light for crust colour. Will try to make fruit and other breads too. I think it is worth buying if you like breads.😊 It is awesome.👌

Nice product to make varities of bread, other items like jam, yougurt, few more options like making roti, poori dough at home. Just add ingrediants and select the mode, weight and colour of choice, thats it job is done. Make sure to buy a bread knife and instant yeast (not active yeast) before you make bread in this device.

The media could not be loaded.

I got this on 17th Mar 2024. Here's my initial review -
1. Packaging is very good.
2. Chappati dough - amazing softness. Have not made such thin chappatis in years. The chappatis literally melted in my mouth.
2. Wheat Bread (without maida) - got recipe from YouTube. I made some small mistakes, but bread came out well.
Have to try other recipes.
Iam glad I don't have to rely on store bought bread anymore. Iam waiting to try jams and cakes.
Anyone buying, please read all the instructions properly atleast twice or thrice before the first use.
