THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The Wolfgang Puck SWPABMD001 combines a 2 lb maximum with dedicated Gluten-Free and Yogurt modes, an automatic Fruit & Nut dispenser, and 14 total modes. Its manual documents a 550 W rating but leaves timer limits and loaf orientation unspecified.

Consider it for

For hands-on bakers who want Yogurt, Gluten-Free, an automatic dispenser, and adjustable custom stages in a 2 lb machine..

Look elsewhere if

Not for buyers who need a verified horizontal pan, a stated maximum delay, an exact rapid-cycle time, or size adjustment on every menu.

What the features mean for you

Exact model and loaf-size scope

The HSN-hosted manual cover identifies the Wolfgang Puck 2 lb Electronic Bread Maker, model SWPABMD001. Its LOAF button selects 1.5 or 2 lb on Basic, French, Whole Wheat, Sweet Bread, and Gluten Free, and is inactive on the other nine modes. The historical listing title mentions a 2 lb machine and automatic dispenser but omits this model code, so it does not establish a direct ASIN crosswalk or current offer. Use the tagged exact-model search link.

Fourteen different modes

The manual lists Basic, Quick, French, Ultra-Fast, Whole Wheat, Cake, Dough, Bake, Sweet Bread, Jam, Mix/Stir, Gluten Free, Custom, and Yogurt. Quick is chemically leavened bread; Ultra-Fast is a yeast cycle with shorter rises but has no exact time. Dough mixes, kneads, and rises without baking, while Mix/Stir combines ingredients without warming or proofing. Yogurt heats milk to 180°F, settles it to 110°F, and prompts for starter, with up to four cups of milk named.

Automatic additions and custom timing

The Fruit & Nut dispenser feeds add-ins at the appropriate point on listed modes, although two manual passages disagree about whether Yogurt is dispenser-eligible and neither gives a capacity. Custom lets the user adjust kneading, rising, and baking for up to 2 hours 56 minutes, plus up to an hour of Keep Warm; the manual does not state a number of saved personal-recipe slots. A Delay Function is documented, but the manual does not give a maximum time or a complete list of modes that accept it.

Power, warmth, and cleaning

After an eligible bake, the appliance holds bread warm for 60 minutes. It resumes an interrupted cycle when power returns in under ten minutes, but does not retain memory after that interval. The manual rates it at 550 W and requires a grounded three-prong cord; voltage and exterior size are not listed. The pan and blade are non-stick, with coating material unspecified, and the manual's parts and instructions show one kneading blade rather than a dual-paddle setup.

Who should consider this bread maker

This is a candidate for buyers who want a 2 lb machine with Yogurt, Gluten-Free, Whole Wheat, and a dispenser, and who are willing to read the mode-specific instructions. The lack of a published delay limit, exact Ultra-Fast time, voltage, and exterior dimensions leaves some planning questions unanswered. The Gluten-Free setting and recipe do not promise allergy or cross-contact safety. Check the appliance label and bundle on any used unit because the historical ASIN does not establish present availability or contents.
