Best Bread Maker
27 Answers
My son-in-law sometimes makes bread for me and it is very nice, so I'm thinking of buying a bread maker myself as I do love bread. How do I find out which is the better of the makers? I don't want to subscribe to Which so wondered if there is a website where the info is for free.
Many thanks.x

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Amazon.co.uk is an excellent source of reviews (even if you're not buying from there). Simply put 'breadmaker' into the search box and you'll find loads of possibilities, nearly all with 'star ratings' (based upon reviews from purchasers) underneath. If you then click on the number next to a star rating (which tells you how many reviews there are) you can read the detailed comments which have been posted.
For example here are the 305 reviews for the best-selling breadmaker on Amazon:

It depends how much you want to spend but I tend to only use one or two programmes so I would get this http:// www.cur rys.co. uk/gbuk /househ old-app liances /small- kitchen -applia nces/sm all-coo king-ap pliance s/bread makers/ panason ic-sd-2 500wxc- breadma ker-whi te-0984 8022-pd t.html I actually got it because I thought my bread maker was giving up the ghost but then it started working again so I took it back.
I got my Panasonic from Amazon, I did have a different make before, about 6 years ago and it has been really good, I never buy bread, rolls etc now. My kids were so impressed that I got them one each.
The variety of bread products is endless, I have cooked one cake in it but as we rarely eat cake I don't bother.

Do local libraries subscribe ?
I'm unsure there can be a vast difference in them. Size, added trays maybe, other novelties. After all, all it needs to do is stir up the stuff and apply heat. Unfortunately they don't seem to remove the stir paddle nor heat from above for a crusty brown top, but I think most are going to do the job. Just check reviews for references to longevity, quality of build, etc..

I think it depends on your budget. If money is no object (also space in the kitchen) I would go for the panasonic.

The price is coming down, mine was more than this for the same model but that was nearly a year ago.

I make 4 loaves by hand and freeze 2 or 3 until required. Hand needing is very relaxing but a mixer can be used to lessen the work if you want. The hot oven can be used for other roasting or baking after the bread comes out thereby saving energy. Only problem is that friends like to scrounge the odd loaf. Bread maker-yuk!
Thanks for all your interesting answers.Although the bread taste nice that my s-i-l makes, it only makes small square loaves and the outside isn't crispy like you expect fresh bread to be. It looks like Panasonic is the favourite up to now but it might just be out of my price range. I will scout around as up to now it's a toss up between Panasonic and Kenwood. Thanks again for all your help.x
The other thing you need with the breadmaker is a decent recipe book. Get one called Electric Bread if you can
its not expensive and is an excellent starter book
