Which is the best home breadmaker?

you get what you pay for as far as bread makers are concerned. JMO. I took a cheaper one back as every loaf stuck.... in the supposed non stick pan. It was simply too thin, the difference between using good quality bakeware and thin stuff I suppose.[SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

i have the cookworks one from argos and i have to say i am very impressed with it. for 23 quid its really good. it has 12 settings inc jam, and all the bread i've made apart from the first 1 (my own fault) has been lovely- the french crust setting is yummy
would def recommend it2011- new year, new start.

Another vote for the Panny. I used to have a Kenwood, which I wore out, so decided to upgrade to the Panasonic.
IMO it makes much better loaves than the Kenwood and I've only ever had one bad loaf out of it (and that was due to operator error!).

TBH this was about what I had to spend on one, I was going to get one last October using £30 of some birthday money but decided to save for the panasonic but the money got spent on other things and now I have got £30 spare (ish) so was thinking of getting the cookworks. Just don't wanna waste my money on a cheap one if the panasonic really is that good. PPLBM-29/08/07

I've been debating getting a breadmaker for ages and just plumped for the panasonic which was just under £100 from Argos. Probably not the cheapest place but if anything goes wrong it's convenient for me to return it. I went for this make as I heard such good things about it and I wanted an "idiot proof" machine as I've seen how some of my cooking turns out LOL.
So far everything turns out lovely and I've been experimenting a gret deal. I've been making a fresh loaf every day and you just can't buy any air freshner that smells as good as cooking bread! Not to mention the anticipation of eating it later.0 -

this is what I've done :rolleyes:
Bought the Tesco one last week and just cant get a decent loaf - even from the ready-mix stuff - they keep coming out very doughy/stodgey - have even tried less water. So I'm cutting my losses and going to get a Panasonic.
Trouble is they are now out of stock everywhere - apparently an 8 week lead time. Panasonic cant turn them around quick enough.
The link from Jo_anne was very helpful in helping me understand what makes the Panasonic so much more superior0 -
Hi mentioned to my Dad I weanted one and he said that they had a morphy richards fastbake 48230 and he has just brought it round as they don't use it. Has anyone used one are they any good. Thanks PPLBM-29/08/07

As a money saving expirement I bought a second hand Panasonic SD-206 (around 6 years old) for £25.
Making home made bread saved me atleast £50 per month!! It's only pennies when you compare like for like but nipping for bread and milk costs £20 at a super market once you have a look around.
I have used 2 different types and they always tasted "homemade". First loaf from the panasonic is fresh "bakers bought". I've used mine a month and only buy bread when it's reduced to under 25p (cost for my loaf).
The only bit of advice I will give you is not to be fooled by how big of a loaf the panasonic can make as it just makes taller slices not more! I get around 11 slices plus the crusts.
If you have a set of digital scales you just put the bread pan onto it and add the ingredients direct with absolutly no mess, I also just weigh the water as it's more acurate.
I found the argos clearance shop (not online) where you can buy them from £35-45 depending upon the model.
MMMLets get this straight. Say my house is worth £100K, it drops £20K and I complain but I should not complain when I actually pay £200K via a mortgage:rolleyes:0 -
think you will be getting the message by now....Panasonic every time!
they really are the'rolls royce' of bread making machines
buy one - you wont regret it0
