1. Lotus’s Bread Maker BM1333 2L
Making bread with Lotus’s Bread Maker BM1333 2L is easy. Resulting bread from this bread maker is soft and fluffy.
PS: There’s higher chance of success if you don’t use the include recipes (e.g., basic bread) that are in the manual booklet.
For the price, the build quality of the Lotus’s Bread Maker BM1333 2L is good too. Moreover, this bread maker does not make a lot of noise.
We like the minimalist appearance of the Lotus’s Bread Maker BM1333 2L. It suits any kitchen interior style. BM1333 is also a lot less bulky that its predecessor, the BM10.
Clean up is straightforward too.
However, you can’t make much bread (e.g., 300g loaf at the most) in the Lotus’s Bread Maker BM1333 2L so we would not suggest this bread maker for larger households.
The price point is agreeable for beginners or anyone who wants a bread maker to make fresh bread on a daily basis.

How To Choose A Bread Making Machine
1. Kitchen Space
Bread makers are about the size of a pressure cooker. And similarly, you need to give them some head room so you can open the lid!
There are horizontal models and vertical models.
Note: Horizontal models take up more room than the vertical ones.
2. Capacity
Be sure to check the loaf size capability of a bread maker before making purchase.
Assuming your bread recipe doesn’t have preservatives (i.e. won’t stay fresh long):
It’s good to double-check with your household if they will eat the bread too.
Some bread makers state capacity in pounds rather than kg. 1 pound is ~0.5kg. And 1.5 pounds is fine for a small family of 2-3 pax.
For larger families, look for a bigger bread maker that can make loaves of at least 2 pounds!
3. Number Of Kneading Blades
A single blade will be enough if you’re only making small loaves. While 2 blades would be preferable for larger loaves with more dough to work with.
However, single-blade and dual-blade machines are usually the same size.
4. What Types Of Bread Or Shape
Is versatility important to you? Will you be making artisan bread? Cakes? Pizza dough? Cinnamon rolls?
Some bread makers have these as pre-set programs.
5. Must-Have Features
- Timer
- Delay start
- Crust Control Feature – how brown you want your crust
- Transparent lid or window
- Alarm or lights – so you know the bread is done
- Keep warm
- Removable bread pan – for convenient cleaning
- Removable kneading blades/ paddles
- Automatic shut off
- Adjustable loaf size
6. Extra Features
- Gluten-free setting
- DC motor (quieter)
- Baguettes
- Yoghurt maker
- Ice cream maker
- Automatic ingredient dispenser (e.g. seeds, nuts, dried fruit, etc)
- Automatic yeast dispenser
- Jam maker
- Accessories like measuring cups and spoons
- Warranty
- Custom settings
Did you know that some the best multi cookers in Malaysia can make bread too?
7. Build
Try to go for aluminum with a non-stick coating. Or even better, stainless steel over plastic as this will last longer.
For harder crusts, choose a thicker pan. And vice-versa.
Want a loaf that looks like the store-bought bread that comes in slices? Then you’ll want to get a more costly horizontal bread maker.
8. Budget
Prices of a bread maker will vary according to performance, build quality, and capability.
Cheaper machines can have many unseen problems:
- Inefficient kneading
- Noisier
- Peeling or improper fit of components
Or these common problems could be due to the way that you use your bread maker!

Conclusion
Any of these best bread makers in Malaysia will save you a lot of time and effort! Because manual kneading and having to wait through those proofing periods is tiresome!
A bread maker will keep all the mess contained too! With easy cleaning! Remember that capacity, durability, and versatility (i.e. features) are most important when choosing a bread maker!
