Kenwood Breadmaker BM200 Reviews

I had been toying with the idea of buying a breadmaker for some months, so had carried out a fair bit of research into various makes & models - the Kenwood BM200 seemed like a reasonable product which would suit my requirements at a fair price (I think I managed to find it for £55 from Argos). The machine itself has been brilliant ...  Read the complete review

First trials were a disaster but slowly got used to bending the recipes to get good results. However, after two years things began going wrong. Firstly the machine would kneed the dough and then reset itself before cooking; sometimes but not all the time. It had a mind of its own. Then it started cooking it without mixing or proving it ...  Read the complete review

I decided to invest in a breadmaker mainly for my three year old daughter, in the hope that in years to come, she would remember, with fondness, waking up to the nicest smell in the whole wide world - freshly baked bread! I did a fair bit of research on the internet and saw lots of great reviews about the latest Panasonic model but as ...  Read the complete review

It was a few weeks before Christmas 2002 and I was on the Atkins diet...you know, lots of protein and vegetables, minimal fruit and definitely no high carbohydrate foods like bread, pasta and potatoes. My darling hubby Sam, whom I love to bits, always has big problems when it comes to buying me presents. As he rightly says, I have loads of ...  Read the complete review

It was my birthday recently and we have recently moved into a new house, put these two factors together and you get a simple equation…Birthday Present = house gadget! Now I don’t mind that I am getting a bread maker as a birthday pressie, I want one, and what better way to make sure I remember to take my sandwiches to work in the morning than to ...  Read the complete review

For my birthday I had a new breadmaker, yes I know I only had my other one for a couple of years but it had become unusable. I did have a Morphy Richards Essential Breadmaker at a cost of just £39.99 from Sainsbury's. Well I got what I paid for. It worked well at first but after a while the bread began to stick and eventually I ...  Read the complete review

I received my Kenwood bread maker as a Christmas gift and haven?t bought bread since. The bread I have made with using the machine has been soft, light with an open texture and a scummy taste. I find it very simple to fill and clean, and it fits snugly into a cupboard out of the way when not in use. The timer setting is great for fresh ...  Read the complete review

we had been looking into getting a bread maker, and had carried out some research on the web, etc. This model was rated 50-50, with 2 liking it, and 2 hating it. My best friend and his girlfriend was given this model last year, and liked it, although they did have some advice on how to be successful. One point they made was to make sure ...  Read the complete review

I've owned the Kenwood breadmaker for about 8 months now and I wish I followed the other persons advice on here who took it back and replaced it with something else! I have had some acceptable loaves out of it but I think this was more by pure luck than anything else. Generally, loaves just do not rise enough and what you end up with ...  Read the complete review

Having compared the specifications for a number of breadmaking machines, Kenwood, Morphy Richards and Panasonic I bought the new Kenwood. It was smaller and looked better than the others and there was a free Kenwood electric carving knife thrown in. Having tried a variety of ingredients and programs, following the recipes precisely, ...  Read the complete review

I hate that time of year when people start asking what you want for Christmas. It’s a lot of effort to think of exciting new things, and it eliminates the element of surprise on Chrimstmas morning, when you know what you’ve asked for…. Imagine my delight when my mother-in-law surprised me last year with a bread-maker! I ...  Read the complete review

The Kenwood Rapid Bake BM200 is the best present I have ever received. Usually all these items go into a cupboard and are never used - but not this one. I found a space for it on my worktop as it isn’t too huge or ugly and its used daily. The smell of bread drifting through your house any time of day is absolutely wonderful. It ...  Read the complete review
