Customer Reviews

Does what is claimed!
We bought this model new to replace a Hinari breadmaker that performed regularly and well for nearly 5 years (then the tin seal went). When unpacked, we liked the overall appearance - but would have prefered a slightly larger, brighter digital setting screen. It otherwise seemed a pretty basic machine - with the usual baking accessories. But the baking tin clips onto the drive at the base (like the Hinari had) and we prefer this to the metal top clips on some manuacturers models. It also has a novel paddle - which flips the dough up at the end of mixing and drops flat - leaving just a small hole in the bread base. The baking tin is square, but deeper than some. Our first attempt at making a basic white loaf, following exactly the recipe, went smoothly. But although the loaf rose perfectly, and had a lovely light texture, it was a little too sweet and the crust a darker shade - but edible. So, after a little experimenting we sorted out an acceptable level and my wife now bakes lovely part brown loaves roughly every other day. The loaves keep coming perfectly - amazing value! Don't forget to smear a little Sunflower oil around the baking tin and on the paddle and a tiny drip in the paddel swivel junction. One last tip - let the tin cool after turning bread out, then put a little warm water inside base and leave a few minutes. Then lightly hold the underside drive bar, raise the paddle inside the tin and gently waggle to release - wash out any baked on bread mix with hot water. Rinse inside tin with hot water and paddle, then dry and wipe with oil ready for the next loaf. We find our tin cleans up without washing fluids and without scrubbing.

Basic but it's all you need
I've had mine for a couple of months now. I bought a cheap one because I wasn't sure how much use it would get. I was pleasantly suprised - perfect bread every time (there are a few good recipes in the handbook). It gets used every day and I wouldn't bother with bought bread any more if you paid me. Don't be tempted to scrub the tin - I put a tiny scratch in mine. If you don't use too much grease then the bread leaves hardly any residue when you remove it. Warm water and a quick wipe do the trick for cleaning if you remember that. The hole in the bread issue isn't too bad - much better than what I've seen from my mates (very expensive) machine.

Buy one and have fun!

Good value for money breadmaker
Having worn out our previous breadmaker over the last 4 years I bought this one primarily because of its compact size. It's fairly small & unobtrusive but the best bit is how quiet it is! I had to keep checking it was still working, having been used to a very noisy previous machine.
The drop down blade does just that but it also drops down when you're trying to get the flour in the pan so a little juggling is required. However, it does leave the bottom of the baked loaf looking a lot better but you still have to prise it out.
One comment about the recipes: they are a bit too keen to add unnecessary things like vitamin C tablets. Just use good flour, warm water, salt , honey, yeast & fat. That's all you need.
For anyone who has never baked or eaten proper bread before I guarantee you will never buy shop bread again!
