I have had a Zo for over a year now and love it. It is a true workhorse and
handles even stiff bagel dough with ease. I mainly use the dough cycle
though the Zo does produce great breads baked in the machine. As someone
else already stated the Zo does not have a dispenser but does have an add in
beep so you can add your goodies then. I purchased my first Zo through
Amazon.com but it was defective. Had no trouble returning it and got my
money back right away. Ordered my current one from King Arthur Flour as they
also use these machines and offered me lots of help, especially when I
wanted to put in a special whole-wheat program into it, which works amazing
I might add.
Happy Shopping,
Annie
