An excellent bread maker. I received this bread maker as a wedding present a few months ago and making bread is now a daily activity in my household, the bread maker is set every night and in the morning I wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread. It comes with a recipe booklet which gives several options for baking ranging from white, ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I was given this a few years ago as my friend had a new one, they knew I'd had my eye on them so I had a go, I have been using it ever since. It's easy to assemble and easy to follow the instructions, make sure as it says that you put the yeast on top of the dry ingredients in other words put the liquid in first, then the flour and then ...  Read the complete review

My husband had vaguely fancied a breadmaker so, before he bought one for me I got one for him! I bought the Morphy Richards one from Argos at under £50 as an extra surprise Christmas present, much to his shock! He set to straight away though,and we have been eating the most delicious thick, crusty bread ever since. The white loaf has so few ...  Read the complete review

I was bought one of these breadmakers chrismas before last (i asked for one!) and sad to say it is now sat in my cupboard not used in a long while. It was used a handful of times but i calculated it cost more to buy the ingredients than it did to buy bread from the supermarket! Having said this this decision was made after i had a particularly ...  Read the complete review

Unfortunately my experiences with this particular bread maker haven't been very successful. Prior to purchasing I did make bread by hand, but decided that a bread maker would make a nice little time saving gadget. I actually saw this one recommended in Which magazine, and, since it was in my price bracket, I bought ...  Read the complete review

For some inexplicable reason, a few of my wife's colleagues at the Dental hospital where she works as a nurse, were extolling the virtues of breadmakers. Several hints were dropped by my beloved that it would make a nice Christmas present but somehow I didn't think a breadmaker would hit the spot - what do you think ladies? No surprise ...  Read the complete review

Wow. I went to Tesco's the other day and a loaf of Warburtons was £1.45. Bloody hell I thought. And then I thought Bugger. And then I thought about women because my seven minutes was up. And then I was back to bread again. Now compare that to 55p for a bag of Tesco's own bread mix. Aha! Cheapy! Well sort of. Using a breadmaker has ...  Read the complete review

I've had a Morphy Richards 'Fastbake' bread maker for about a year or so now and have had nothing but compliments on my wonderful bread making 'skills'! This bread maker will produces 1 pound, 1.5 pound and 2 pound loaves and you can now get packets of bread mix from supermarkets making it incredibly easy to rustle up a nice fresh loaf ...  Read the complete review

I requested this breadmaker as an engagement present and I'm so very glad I did! There not much I can add to the above review except that you shouldn't feel you have to stick rigidly to recipes in the book. For example I substitute olive oil for melted butter, and one of the cups of white flour for wholemeal flour. ...  Read the complete review

The Art of Acquiring Unwanted Machinery I love home-made bread. There’s something about the smell of brad proving over a warm oven that comforts and calms. It’s a smell which also has the function of making me incredibly hungry – don’t know about you, but I’m sure that’s why the big supermarkets stream the isles with bakery smells, just ...  Read the complete review

We were given this breadmaker as a wedding present. My brother actually works for a chain of high street hardware shops, so he asked the guy who deals with the returned goods which bread maker had the least problems. This one was his recommendation. It's selling on Amazon at the moment for £34.99. First impressions... it's big! We had ...  Read the complete review

MORPHY RICHARDS Bread Maker Model: 48280 Fastbake. For some reason, I bought this machine on-line from Comet. I had sworn not to shop at Comet again after several fall-outs with them,,,,, but as it was advertised as FAN ASSISTED I swallowed my pride & ordered it. Of course, it was NOT Fan Assisted at all. I contacted ...  Read the complete review

Most manufacturer descriptions of breadmakers seem to begin with, or to at least include, the same rather uninventive refrain… Namely, they invoke the 'aroma of freshly baked bread in the morning', perhaps, or the 'warm and inviting scent wafting throughout the house, as you bake your own bread'. They're absolutely right, of course, it is a ...  Read the complete review

I've got a new man in my kitchen, he sits there. All glistening think curves and pretty features. And when he goes to work he mixes and kneads and pummels to my heart content. Unfortunately he's not my personal masseuse but my lovely Fastbake Breadmaker! Occasionally I get fixated on certain items and this Crimbo it was a ...  Read the complete review

You really should get one of these, the bread is delicious and the pizza is the best you have ever tasted. Also the smell of the bread cooking makes you drool. In our house we like the bread made from softgrain flour the best, but we like it all the bread better than the commercial kind. I bought some bits, mushroom, pepperami, tomatoes, ...  Read the complete review

Last Christmas, I bought my mother a bread making machine for a gift. She was so delighted with it, and kept on commenting about it, so I went out, and got one for myself in the January sales. The one I bought mum cost £39.99, but the one I bought for myself cost £29.99, sale price, what a bargain. You can buy them in all sorts of places; ...  Read the complete review
