A-ha! They're great! I bought a £20 one and it did the job perfectly; the more expensive ones just have more features that you won't use. Bread is gorgeous! Just choose the one you like the look of

Re: Experiences of breadmaking machines
Had one for a while and could not get the hang of it. The bread was always burnt on the base. For this reason I would stay away from the type with a heater element directly below the bread tin.
The other thing I was not happy about is the odd shape of the loaf. Maybe you can different shaped bread tins in the modern ones, but mine was a pain. I gave mine away. A friend of mine only uses her's for mixing the dough and the first rise. These days I make my bread entirely by hand, using Tesco value bread tins that cost £2 each. |

Re: Experiences of breadmaking machines
OK- well mine was a cookworks bought for £20, made 2 loaves of perfect bread every day for nearly 2 years- still works
The secret is all in the ingredients It takes a little playing around with recipes to get a good loaf. |

Brilliant! Get one
Next to my electronic cat deterent, fondue set, sandwich toaster, electric can opener and candy floss maker, it's my most useful gadget. The only drawback with my bread maker is that the dough paddle sometimes gets detached and you have to rip the loaf apart to retrieve it but the birds are always grateful. |

Re: Experiences of breadmaking machines
I did a lot of research before buying ours and decided to go with the Panasonic SD253 as it got the best reviews of any bread maker. It was also one of the most expensive at the time, but definitely worth it, as it's a superb machine. It makes excellent bread and, just as importantly, pizza dough. Making your own pizzas from scratch is great fun.

And pizza dough is cheap. Real cheap.
