That reminds me of when my MIL first got a front loading washing machine. She used to sit there and watch the washing go round!

I got mine today in Costco for £80, not worked up the nerve to try it yet...

breadmakers are fab for us tired people... 5 minutes work and the house smells fab and everyone thinks you're a genius!
and it get's better - YOU MUSTN'T WASH THE PAN! How good is that?

I got a Panny at Christmas, and i think it's great.
Two little criticisms, one the bread is more fattening than shop bought, because it's tasty you eat more.
And the second, i'm no good at cutting even slices, so i wonder can they do an accessory to cook it sliced ?

Totally agree... we need one of those slicers they hve in the bakers but for smaller households !

I just looked at the prices on amazon of the Panasonic and the Kenwood BM450 - the Kenwood was only £29.99! Is that it's normal price, because it has alot of the same features as the Panasonic and also has an automatic nut/seeds etc dispenser. Does anyone know if this is one of those Amazon bargains that you sometimes see or is it the normal price?

Just came back to add - I did a price comarison online and the BM450 is £129.99 in John Lewis and £124 on electricshopping.com - do I did a double check that the one on Amazon is definitely the same one and it is so I ordered one! Bargain!

Hi RS, I was looking at Amazon for something else and came across the breadmaker you mentioned. I had to do a double take as I was certain the one I had just seen on Argos was for £127. The Argos description was for Multifunction Breadmaker with Touch Sensitive Controls.

Well it is the Kenwood one that was on Amazon for £29.99 and when I put my order in there were only 2 left. It still is showing on my account as waiting to be dispatched (est. delivery 19-26 March) so please let me know if yours arrives ok. I can't believe what a bargain it is! A few people on Hot UK Deals had put in an order but some weren't lucky as they had sold out and Amazon have taken the page down.

It worked a treat but need time it better since it was ready in the middle of the night and we had to stay up to get it out! I need a slicer thingy now..
