I also have the two pound Zoji (Zojirushi). I think I had a Breadman before, but it made a smaller vertical loaf. It worked just fine, but I wanted the Zoji due to all the great ratings. Gave my old machine to a friend.
I think all the bread machines are space-hogs. It seems that whenever I end up "cleaning up" and putting appliances away, I forget about them.
I love my Zoji. It makes great bread. If you go to Yahoo groups, there are a few ABM recipe groups (automatic bread machine) you will have more recipes than you can ever use...
