My mouth is watering...this might be the next at home bread project! And now I want a Zo. Is it really heavy? I see a shipping weight of 16 pounds online. I have limited counter space, so the only appliance that gets a permanent space out is my Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Is this too heavy to put away and get out? Beth, you might be interested in the Zo Mini, whose 8" x 11" footprint is just less than a standard sheet of paper (8 1/2" x 11"). It kneads dough made with 3 cups of flour very nicely, and has a handle on top so you can swing it in and out of the cupboard easily. The bigger Zo does more, but of course it's bigger and heavier. Really not ultra-heavy (somewhat less than 16 lb., if shipping weight is 16 lb.) - but it's definitely more awkward to get out and put away than the smaller, vertical Mini. As I say, we use the Zo's all the time - they're awesome. The only reason I don't show them in the blog all the time is because I figure readers are more likely to have a stand mixer... but if you're an inveterate bread baker, trust me, you'll love the Zo. Hope this helps - PJH
