    There are loads of threads on the OS board about this - eg this http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=830849&highlight=bread+maker

    I have a breadmaker and wouldn't be without it - splashed out and went for the panasonic :)

    Cross post :) I'd say just go and search on the OS board and bring up some of the existing threads there and post on it...

    the problem is that any bread you make in a breadmaker goes stale the next day as its not pumped full of nasty preservatives, as shop bought ones are ( thats how they get them to last 3+ weeks- preservatives adn a lot of salt)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Also I've found a good dollop of oil (I prefer it to the butter!) helps to preserve the loaf. I had a chunk of bread toasted today that I made on Monday!

    I've had a Panasonic since for about 14 months and it's fab! It has also paid for itself.

    It is healthier as no preservatives etc.

    Regarding going stale after a day - ours doesn't last that long. :D
  • I would recommend the Morphy Richards breadmaker. It gives great results and it's really easy to use. I bought it off the Morphy Richards website (www.morphyrichards.com) about 2 years ago as they had a promotion on at the time. I also find that using the cheap bread flour is just as good as the more expensive brands which I now avoid using. Good luck!

    I bought my husband a Kitchenaid mixer and he has made amazing, fantastic bread every day since Christmas day. Not just a breadmaker so he can make us LOTS of things. ( p.s. The bread would last up to 4 days, but we eat it quickly)

    I wouldn't be without my Panasonic:

    I got mine in an Amazon sale for £79. It has more than paid for itself in just over a year. The home baked rolls are absolutely to die for! The crust can be chosen to be light/medium/dark, which means you can have a nice light thin crust. I use olive oil or sunflower oil in my dough mixes, instead of butter, and this helps keep it fresh for 2 days - longer it can still be used for toast. It does go mouldy quicker than shop bought bread, but it doesn't have all those additives, it smells like bread should (not sour like, say, Kingsmill), and is oh so moreish.... nom nom nom :-)
    One day the clocks will stop, and time won't mean a thing

    Be nice to your children, they'll choose your care home

    Which recipe do you use - rolls are something I haven't mastered yet?!
  • I have the panosonic 255 and its fantastic, I use it every day or every other, there's a timer on it so we wake up to fresh bread and an automatic dispenser so you can make spicy fruit loaf etc.. I looked on the tread mentioned and seems to work out cheaper, I think it does but would never be able to work out figures! haven't bought a loaf of bread since (8 months ago)
