 Great little breadmaker that does the job! July 14, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I asked for this as a Christmas present last year and since then have enjoyed the joys of freshly baked bread. It worked the first time I used it much to my delight, and I have since made the cinammon and raisin bread (recipe provided) which also tasted good. The instructions are straight forward, the machine is easy to use and very easy to clean too. As it is compact, it doesn't take up as much space as other breadmakers would.
I have bought two more of these for friends - one as a housewarming gift. My friend also loves the simplicity of this little breadmaker and found it easy to use. He has achieved much better cinnamon and raisin bread than me! He loves it so much, he uses it weekly and has bought it as a present for another friend. If Morphy Richards knew how much business I have given them, they might have given me a free iron!
Unfortunately, for a temporary period, I had to move to another house which was much colder. This affected the temperature of the bread and meant the bread didn't rise properly. This put me off using the breadmaker for a while. However, I will be moving again soon and look forward to using my breadmaker again where I will perfect my cinnamon and raisin bread ready for a bake off with my friend!
Pros - small, easy to use, user-friendly, basic recipes provided, good starting breadmaker, great bread.
Cons - the unique "paddle" isn't that great, it doesn't always drop down which means you might have to spend some time digging it out of the bread. The machine isn't expensive so you do not get a light up display so you really have to double check your settings.

The plus sides of this is the recipes but otherwise, the ingredients are quite bizarre for the bread itself. I have made bread before and I never put this stuff in it.
It takes almost 3 hours to make a loaf, it's not entirely tasty but on the other hand the dough making facility, jam making and cake making facilitya nd the option to make other recipes is a plus.
I was expecting bread like my bakery but I was disappointed. I would probably continue to use it or pass it on to somebody else who would make more use out of it.

This is the first breadmaker I've bought. I've been entirely satisfied with it. it is easy to use, easy to clean, and doesn't take up too much room on the kitchen counter.
I haven't experimented with too many different types of bread, but usually make wholemeal bread using the recipe in the book which came with the machine. It makes consistently good bread - especially delicious when fresh first thing in the morning.
The only tip I'd pass on is that it's important to take the mixing paddle out of the bread before you cut it.

I've often dabbled in the science of baking bread, unfortunately rarely with any success. So decided to get hold of a cheap breadmaker.
Size was my first criteria, we do not have a lot of space in our Kitchen, this one fits nicely on top off the dryer with plenty room left for the iron and ironing accessories.
It's more noisy than the dryer while it kneads, and I've found that premade bread mixes make it rattle and shake more than fresh ingredience. But it;s only a few minutes and mostly over night while we sleep.
The first loaf I turned out was white, very nice insde even if the crusts where a little over done even on the light setting. But subsequent experimentation has proven successful and we now get a nice even light brown crust.
All in all I have no complaints with this unit. It's pretty much been churning out loaves sinces it landed the day after I ordered it from Amazon and thus far no technical issues have presented.
A bit about Amazon as an online vendor, I will never use another supplier again, their guaranteed delivery is great, this was delivered on a Saturday even though I only expected it the following Tuesday. In the past their returns and replacement service has been second to none, and I cannt stress what a pleasure it is to deal with an efficient organisation such as this.

After reading good reviews, I bought this breadmaker and had no real expectations, didn't know how much we would use it etc. But after sitting in it's box for a couple of months we got started and haven't looked back! Very simple to use, beautiful bread every time. It (so far) hasn't burnt any loaves or broken down and we use it nearly every other day!
