You can customize the crust on your bread to be light, medium or dark depending on your preference. The Razorri BM01A allows you to program the crust setting for the exact texture you desire.

Delay Timer

The delay timer is extremely convenient, letting you add ingredients to the bread maker in advance and program it to start baking whenever you want. You can delay the baking up to 15 hours in advance so you can wake up to freshly baked bread in the morning or have it ready when you get home. The flexible timer takes the effort out of timing your baking.

Ease of Use

The Razorri BM01A is very easy to operate. The control panel is straightforward with several preset programs and adjustable settings like crust color, loaf size, and bake time. There is an LCD display that shows each step of the breadmaking process and countdown timer.

The manual that comes with the machine is well-written and helpful for learning how to use all the settings and take advantage of the various bread and dough cycles. It provides useful tips on ingredients, measurements, and techniques for getting the best results. There are also several basic bread recipes included to get beginners started.

The start/stop button and cancel button make it simple to begin baking or stop the cycle if needed. Overall, the intuitive controls, detailed manual, and LCD display screen make this bread machine exceptionally easy to use right out of the box.

Bread Quality

The Razorri BM01A can bake loaves up to 2 pounds in size. The bread comes out with a nice even texture - not too dense or doughy in the center. The crust is crisp with a lovely golden brown color.

The loaves have a delicious homemade taste and aroma. The bread is light and airy in texture, without any dense or gummy spots. It rivals bread made by hand in quality and taste. I found the loaves to have a good rise and nice domed shape on the top.

The machine does an excellent job at kneading and proofing to create high quality loaves. It can make basic white and wheat breads, as well as more complex recipes with seeds, nuts, fruits etc. The bread has a fresh bakery taste and is great for sandwiches or just enjoying a slice on its own.

Overall, the bread quality from the Razorri surpassed my expectations. The loaves are on par with specialty bakeries in terms of size, texture and flavor. It's an impressive machine that can create delicious artisan-style breads at home.

Noise Level

The Razorri BM01A bread machine operates quietly while kneading and baking loaves. The kneading process produces only a gentle whirring sound that is unlikely to disturb or wake sleeping household members. Even on the noisiest setting, the bread maker runs at just 60 dB, comparable to the volume of a normal conversation.

Baking is an even quieter process, with the fan and motor running very subtly in the background. You can expect minimal noise disruption while preparing bread with this appliance. The Razorri BM01A has sound dampening and shock absorption technology built into its body to minimize vibrations and noise. This makes it an ideal option for early morning baking or for small spaces like apartments.

Cleaning

The Razorri BM01A bread maker has removable bread pan and kneading paddle that make cleaning easy. The non-stick coated bread pan can be handwashed or placed in the dishwasher. Any dough stuck on the kneading paddle can be rinsed off with warm water.

The viewing window and lid can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. It's recommended to clean the machine after every use to prevent odor or mold from building up inside.

One handy feature is that the bread pan slides smoothly in and out of the machine, so you don't have to wrestle with sticking or jamming parts. Overall, the ease of cleaning sets the Razorri BM01A apart from bread machines that have pans and parts that are difficult to remove or wash.

Accessories

The Razorri BM01A bread machine comes with a number of handy accessories to help you get baking right away.

It includes a measuring cup and spoon set to help you accurately measure out ingredients like flour, water, yeast, salt and sugar. The set includes a 1 cup measuring cup, 1/2 cup measuring cup, 1/3 cup measuring cup, and 1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon measuring spoons. The measuring cups nest together for easy storage.

Also included is a hook for removing the bread pan safely from the machine once your loaf is baked. The hook helps you avoid burning your fingers on the hot pan.

There is also a recipe book included with 15 pre-programmed recipes to try in your new bread maker. The recipes range from basic white and wheat breads to more specialty loaves like fruit and nut, sweet and savory.

Having the right accessories makes baking bread in the Razorri bread machine even easier. You have everything you need to measure, mix, bake and remove fresh loaves with no fuss.
