Which Breadmaker to get?

Pink.

Hi angie,

Like TNG I got a cheap morphy richards fastbake and I love it. The fastbake is on sale directly from the morphy richards website at the moment for £29.55.

From reading recommendations on here I would have liked to buy the panasonic but couldn't justify the price until I knew I was going to use it and that it wouldn't be relegated to the back of a cupboard. From posts, online reviews and my own experience, the MR fastbake comes a close second to the panasonic.

Thanks

The Morphy Richards is a great first-time users machine. Simple instructions and the added bonus of a "drop-down blade" (which usually works!) so no gaping hole in the bottom of your loaf.

Now THATs what Ive been waiting for in a breadmaker. I had one years ago, but I got fed up with the huge hole in the middle of the bread from the paddle/blade.

Oh, & thanks to Pink-Winged for the heads-up on the excellent price on the MR site. Ive just ordered one.

Have just bought it, couldnt really afford it this month, but i really did want a breadmaker. And there was no delivery charge, no i suppose that was money saving.

Thanks for all your help,

I bought a 2nd hand "Cookworks" Argus own brand off ebay and including carriage cost me £24. Been using it for a month now and bake twice a week been well pleased. I've noticed that the brand of flour makes a huge difference. Hovis is better than Harvest Gold i.e. the bread stays risen. Will be tasting other brands as time goes by.

Just wanted to take the opportunity to thank all the kind people who advised me a couple of months ago when I had bought a Sainsbury's Prima breadmaker in the January Sales.

The non-stick lining was rubbish, the bread would not come out of the tin and cleaning it without scouring was impossible.

Fianlly took the thing back last week -by now the bread was turning grey as things seemed to be leaking into the dough duringe the kneading process - Sainsburys gave me my money back without any fuss.:T

And after searching previous threads here, I decided like Angie to go for the Murphy Richards fastbake, baked the first loaf in it last night...





and it's great!! :j

Much nicer consistency bread than from the Prima, and it did not stick, could actually be removed with light tapping! Nor did the tin need more than a wipe for cleaning.

Am so pleased, thank you all for previous advice!!

I just want it to hurry up and come, i doubt it will come tomorrow, so will have to wait until after the bank holiday weekend. Just been reading some recipes, getting prepared for when it comes. How sad its it to be this excited over a breadmaker!!! im only 21!!

Not sad at all! I really want one too and I'm only 25. Is it really cheaper to make you own? I love fresh, home-made bread, but don't know if it really would be cost effective. What do you say OS's? Also, what are the best/cheapest ingredients to use and where can we get them?

I think it will cost you about 20p per loaf - and you know EXACTLY what is in it
