Advantages: Makes beautiful dough

Disadvantages: Makes very poor quaity fresh bread

Not impressed with this breadmaker.

Firstly the good points, it mixes the bread well, and i use it all the time it i'm making any kind of dough to kneed and prove the dough. It also have many diffrent programs. The machine is quiet to use and isn't too bulky that if you wanted to leave it out on the kitchen top you could. The tin comes out easy, and is simple to clean.

Now the bad points:
Once it has mixed the bread, it cooks it in the same tin, which is a poor shape for a loaf, almost square so the bread rises making a very odd shapped loaf.
It is very hard to get the loaf out once it is cooked and has on some occasions become a challenge to see who can actually get the bread out. The crust on the loaf if very very thick, even though i've used several different mixtures, it always comes out the same. The middle of the loaf normally comes out very light, too light for my taste.

In conclusion it is a good mixer and no more.

Summary: Save your money for fresh loaf from the supermarket.
