We tried various different makers from most shops, buying too cheap with these is a false economy and the bread is sometimes awful. Buy the Panasonic, it makes by far the best bread and so easy to use that even I can use it. Providing I don't forget to put the yeast in.... that wasn't as light and fluffy as it could have been.
Don't do it! Wife acquired the panasonic. After 2 weeks we had had date bread, banana bread, some kind of nut bread and several types of god only knows bread.
After 3 weeks the kids and I would have paid £10 for a loaf of white sliced!
So, it now resides in the cupboard along with yoghurt maker, toastie maker, ice cream maker, juicers etc etc.
Bacon sarnie made with banana bread? no just no!

Buy this and don't use a machine. We've had the machine and it now resides in the cupboard. Hand made stuff is sooo much better. I'd made multiple rock hard loaves until I discovered this book. Doesn't take that long and the results are fantastic if you follow the instructions closely (particularly the shaping)

If that's the case, then a breadmaker is ideal for you. You just put the ingredients in, out comes a loaf, and even the loaf tin is virtually clean... all it needs is a quick wipe with a paper towel.Making bread without a breadmaker is messy as hell, flour EVERYWHERE.
My Silverline bread maker I bought from Lidle makes good bread and was cheap to buy. I can't recommend it because the bread bakes with the paddles in it which makes it difficult to get the bread out of the tin and leaves two holes in the bottom of the loaf. I'd still recommend it as a budget option if you think you will only be baking now and then.
I bought a Tescos one a few years ago ( iirc cost £38 ) and used my double-up clubcard reward vouchers to get it cheaper.
I wanted to make sure I'd use it regularly rather than it just get a few outings before I got bored with it (like the yoghurt maker, juicer, toasted sandwich maker, sausage maker, burger maker etc).
I use it about once a week and when it eventually goes wrong I'll probably buy a Panasonic to replace it as they seem to get good reviews.

Do modern ones not do this? My old Panasonic also bakes with the paddle in the tin, so I get a hole with a slit either side in all my loaves.Gassing Station | Food, Drink & Restaurants | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
