My dad got me this bread maker about 3 months ago and when he gave it to me I smiled and looked pleased, but was thinking “why do I need one of these?” As with most other presents I don’t understand I stored it in the cupboard until last month when I decided, why not give it a go? And I’m glad I did. Now I make fresh, tasty bread every two or three days. And here is why: The Bread maker comes with a recipe book for many different kinds of bread. (chocolate bread is my favourite ) It makes it so simple, a little kid could make great tasting fresh bread. The easiness of the bread making process is made simpler by the easy to use interface.

I actually bought my bread maker from a charity shop that was closing down. I used to have a bread maker years ago and although it wasn't used all the time, I suddenly missed having one.

At first I found the hole left in the centre of the bread by the paddle and the elongated height of the loaf a little off putting, but once sliced this is not as noticable. The taste of a homemade freshly baked loaf is so much ...  Read the complete review

This brand is THE brand to have when it comes to breadmakers: I have friends with other brands, but their bread just does not taste like mine. I have had my machine for seven years now, and I can vouch for it's reliability: I make a 4-5 loaves a week, and it consistently produces delicious, fragrant, yummy bread. If anything were to happen to my most used kitchen gadget, I would DEFINITELY replace it with another Panasonic, though maybe a newer model, one with the raisin dispenser perhaps. Any negatives? Well, the size of the bread pan means that although I make the smallest loaf possible, it still fills the pan, so I don't know where the rest would go if you make a .  Read the complete review
