Is the loaf rectangular, or at least somewhat shaped like a regular loaf of bread? Or is it roundish?

It's definitely a loaf. About the length of a loaf pan, but much higher/deeper. The bread is the best I've ever had. Use bread flour for perfect results.

I used recipes from no-knead bread and the bread baker's apprentice. The bread maker did a good job but you have to accept the shape which is not like a loaf.

Not very rounded. Appears flat with sharpe edges but does pouf a little. So it's not perfectly flat.

The one I received was definitely round. If you do get one, and they do work well , be sure to get ONLY 12 inch pizzas.

I have. I like a typical baguette not a square loaf like the bread maker makes. It works perfectly.

The loaf is rectangular on the bottom, but not that far from square. It rises to the full height of a good loaf of bread. Sometimes almost a little too tall - but that's my fault for experimenting too much. The slices of bread are completely normal in size. The shape is the same as a classic loaf - not square and flat topped like Wonder Bread - or wide like Oroweat - they are a classic home baked loaf size. It's a really pretty slice. My experiments have probably hit 6" tall a few times, but that isn't so high it hits the lid. They still came out fine. I'm waiting for a loaf to finish in about 5 minutes and I'll measure it. While we wait, the manual is on line here: http://www.zojirushi.com/servicesupport/manuals/manual_pdf/bb_hac10.pdf It is from this page on the Zojirushi site: http://www.zojirushi.com/ourproducts/breadmakers/bb_hac.html It's done: The flat bottom is 3 3/4" by 4 3/4". The bottom corners are a little curved at the points. Not sharp and square like the corners of a box (just took photos of the loaf and will upload them on the product page). The slices have square bottom corners though, the heal is the only place you really see curved in part. The widest part of the loaf, at the top, where it is still touching the sides of the pan, is 4" x 5", and that is 4" from the bottom. The dome rises to 5 1/2" tall in the center. I just realized you can have two different sized slices: either 4" wide and 5 1/2" inch tall - classic size, or 5" wide by 5 1/2" tall - if you baked a shorter loaf, it would be about Oroweat size. I'll try to get those photos uploaded now. Check the product page under the photo of the breadmaker.

Hmm, I haven't taken it out of storage yet this year so I can't say for sure, but if I remember correctly, it is just a tiny bit longer than it is wide. So it is slightly rectangular, rather than completely square. Hope this helps.

It is round and about 7 1/2 " across when not opened. I usually open the bottom part and put crackers or grapes. It makes a very nice presentation.

It's straight, not L shaped. I assume that's what you meant by round or square.

Not the big loaves. When I have big slices of bread (like Pane Turano), I put it in at an angle and then turn it around the other way. Works fine for me.

I not sure about how tall it is but is doesn't bake the bread flat on the bottom. It's rounded.

Not sure about your question. It looks like a tall loaf of bread, so more horizontal I suppose. Longer than tall. Hope this helps.

My husband says that the loaves are vertical, but the pan is a rectangle, so I think it is more horizontal. There is only one paddle. The bread that I have made so far is very good.

I believe that the one I had was round. I liked it until having decided that the resulting coffee tasted no better than ground coffee plus having to grind the beans first did not fit any description as being fun. I gave it to one of our kids and went back to using ground coffee.

I would say iat toasts normal bread but not that wider than one's hand held flat

It does. It looks a little square when you make it, but, when it cooks it comes out round.

Yes it is P shaped with adhesive on the flat of the P. the round section is 3/8 diameter and collapses to about 3/16, it is hollow. The flat side is 1 inch.
