Our take
The Toastmaster Bread Box Plus TBR2 supports selectable 1 lb, 1.5 lb, and 2 lb sizes in a horizontal pan. Its nine menu choices include Whole Wheat, Cake, Dough, Bake, and separate Fast Bake entries for 1.5 lb and 2 lb; both take 58 minutes. Eligible programs can use a 13-hour delay, and the course is remembered through an interruption of up to seven minutes.
For buyers who want a horizontal loaf, exact size choices, and a true 58-minute 1.5 lb or 2 lb Fast Bake option..
Not for shoppers who need a dedicated Gluten-Free or Jam program, automatic ingredient dispensing, or a verified current listing tied to historical ASIN B00005OTXR.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The manual documents a horizontal pan and three selectable loaf sizes.
- Both fixed-size Fast Bake choices take 58 minutes.
- Cake, Whole Wheat, Dough, and seven-minute interruption memory are documented.
What to weigh up
- Fast Bake cannot be delayed and may produce a darker, crispier, split-top loaf.
- The gluten-free recipes are not a dedicated menu or allergy-safety claim.
- Keep Warm eligibility conflicts in the manual, and current ASIN mapping is unknown.

What the features mean for you
Named TBR2 identity, uncertain retail mapping
Toastmaster's Bread Box Plus guide cover identifies model TBR2, and the manual is the source for the machine profile. The historical candidate title describes a horizontal 2 lb bread maker but does not name TBR2; no inspected source crosswalks that ASIN to a current offer or exact unit. This is why the product uses a model-search destination and why a buyer should check the nameplate rather than infer identity from an old title.
Three sizes in a horizontal pan
The control panel lists 1 lb, 1.5 lb, and 2 lb sizes on programs that permit size selection. The maker states a 2 lb maximum and calls the pan horizontal and nonstick. One kneading blade is shown. The size control does not apply to every menu entry, so the choice should be interpreted alongside the program chart; no ceramic coating or exact exterior dimensions are documented.
Fast Bake is a true short cycle with tradeoffs
The menu has separate Fast Bake entries for 1.5 lb and 2 lb loaves, each listed at 58 minutes. The manual calls for quick-rise or bread-machine yeast and warmer liquids, and warns that the result may have a dark, crisp crust and split top. Fast Bake does not allow the delay timer. Follow its specific instructions rather than treating it as a standard recipe on a shorter clock.
Cake, Dough, and gluten-free recipes
The nine named menu choices include Whole Wheat, Cake, and Dough. The manual also points to a gluten-free recipe section, but the menu has no Gluten-Free selection and it does not make a cross-contact safety claim. Add-ins are prompted by a beep for manual addition on eligible programs; no automatic dispenser is listed. This profile distinguishes a recipe reference from a dedicated program and from automatic food handling.
Timer and interruption memory
The 13-hour timer supports Basic, Whole Wheat, French, Sweet, and Dough, while excluding Fast Bake, Cake, and Bake. The manual documents memory for interruptions up to seven minutes; longer interruptions do not guarantee a satisfactory restart. Keep Warm lasts up to an hour, but the guide disagrees about whether Fast Bake or Dough is excluded. Retain that conflict instead of assigning a clean mode list.
