Is the Starfrit 024707 worth it?

At $116.99 at JCPenney as of November 7, 2026, it is a low-cost way to get 13 programs and a delay timer. It suits basic loaves and dough; expect a paddle hole and hand-wash the pan to protect the coating.

How big a loaf does it make?

The 550W motor and pan size handle standard 1.5 to 2 lb loaves, enough for a small household. It is not built for very large family-size batches.

Does it have a delay timer?

Yes. The 13-hour timer lets you load ingredients at night and have bread ready in the morning. Use it with dry ingredients and add wet ones per the manual.

Can I put the pan in the dishwasher?

Hand washing is the safer choice. The pan is non-stick, and dishwasher heat and detergent can shorten the coating's life.

What comes in the box?

The bread maker, a non-stick baking pan with paddle, and a recipe booklet. A measuring cup and spoon are typically included; check the listing for confirmation.

Bread makers usually dip during holiday sales and back-to-school promotions. The current $116.99 at JCPenney is already near the low end of its recent range.
