    Thanks for all the input, guess I will go for the Panasonic. Was glad to see someone say it was easy to clean, too! We had a breadmaker a few years back, and that was one of the reasons it stayed in the cupboard - it was horrid to clean.

    Thanks again . . . off to have a better look around the site!

    The ones that are regarded as the best are the Panasonic breadmakers, they are quite expensive but worth it for the results you can get from them.

    We got one after reading a few reviews, the majority opinion seems to be that the cheaper models produce pretty poor and erratic results.

    If you can afford it you will not regret it - they produce pretty much perfect results every time.

    I got Cookworks one in Argos sale last year for £14.99, as I really wasn't sure if I would use one. It's been brilliant, and I use it virtually every day. Maybe next time ,I'll go for a Panasonic, but I've been pleased with the Cookworks one so far.

    The two mentioned most often by users are the Morphy Richards fastbake and the Panasonic 252 (or 253).

    You can read up on both here:-

    I can thoroughly recommend the Panasonic 253. I had this one and it was excellent and bread very tasty. Had a good recipe book with it too.
