Hello Jayne, go for the bigger one. You never go wrong. Small has no room to expand if you want to do bigger.I bought mine at a thrift store for 10 dollars and works fine. Enjoy.

1 1/2 lb size machine turns out a good loaf, with good color. Bread is very good to eat.

Aloha: I will be talking about the different model here a little bit ......... My friends have the Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Maker, I guess it's the old model which someone wrote, but still available in Amazon USA. The manual has a 100% whole wheat recipe at sandwich mode which is so called 1.5 lb size only. I was checking around and decided not to buy this SD-RD250 because of this whole wheat matter. Thanks for the reviewers!!

I believe it's about 3 1/2 hours for 2 lb loaf. There are other options that are faster. I haven't used them yet. By the way love the machine and bread it makes.

i have used the 1 lb settings when doing 2-1 lb loaves. Has come out perfectly.

Actually the slice is somewhat larger than store bought bread at 4 1/2" X 5" for the 1 1/2 lb. loaf. 2lb loaf would run 4 1/2" X 6". Don't know about the 1lb loaf but would be 4 1/2 X ?.

Those measurements are right, except the depth is more like 2 1/4", but for me it is the perfect size for sandwich bread. My bread rises higher than the top to be nice and rounded. It would be about a 1 1/2 lb. loaf.

It depends on the size sandwiches you want, the one pound loaf makes about the right size for me, it makes a two pound loaf also which may suit you better. Have fun with your bread machine, I do.

Yes, you can make 1 lb. loafs or 1 1/2 lb. loafs. You can cut a 2 lb recipe in half or make the 1 1/2 lb. I make my own recipes up now and usually make all 2 lb loafs. Today I just made a cinnamon bread with cinnamon in the dough then rolled the dough with cinnamon and then topped it off with a cinnamon/sugar shakened on top with an egg white glaze. Turned out so yummy. I usually make 2 one lb loafs and give one to our neighbors and we eat the other. You could freeze the other loaf for later. When I freeze the bread i slice it first then just put it in a zip lock bag into the freezer. Turns out good either way.

Using the full box produces a 1 1/2lb. loaf. My bread machine (horizontal) is meant for a 2lb. loaf but this works fine for me. The first time the loaf was lopsided so now I just check before the final rise and center it in the pan if needed. Fantastic bread, especially if you use coconut oil instead of butter.

1/2 your recipe goes in one pan and the other 1/2 goes in the other pan. 1 full 2 lb loaf recipe fill both sides.

One box makes one loaf. My bread machine makes 2 pound and the slices are larger than store bread.

I bake a 2 lb. loaf. Don't know if that would make a difference. I make sure my loaf is completely cool before bagging; otherwise there will be moisture.

howdy ms. russell, it makes a 1.5 pound loaf. there are instructions for how to make a 1 pound loaf if desired, but the package is designed for 1.5 pound bread machines. take care, lee

Width can fit 2 loaves but I think you may run into an issue with length of your loaf. I do not have a full loaf of bread to measure and check. Hope that helps.

Yes, we recommend using the wheat setting for pumpernickel bread. You can convert any bread recipe to this bread machine if you do not exceed the recommended amount of flour. For this 2 pound bread maker we recommend no more than 4 cups of flour.

I make a 2lb loaf of bread ( 4 cups flour ) and there is plenty of room for a bigger loaf. It makes a very good bread.

The one lb mini is pretty small. For my husband and myself I have to make bread at least twice per week. I don't think you'll be able to use it to rise dough for other purposes.
