Tesco Breadmaker

I have had the tesco BMS1 breadmaker for a few months now. It cost me just under £50, a bargin i thought as i didn't want to pay the earth in case it didn't work. With that comes a 12month warrenty. It weighs 5.5kg and does have a convient carry handle should you want to move it around. It looks modern in stainless steel (gets hot!), black flip top lid with small window (to see how bread is baking) and large easy to use buttons and programmes to front. Along with the breadmaker comes a double ended spoon giving teaspoon and tablespoon measurements, a cup (markings difficult to see), paddle (easy to attach) and a paddle remover (never needed to use). The bread ...  Read the complete review

the main annoying point about this breadmaker is the instruction book...it lists recipes in the smaller 700g loaf size & you have to convert them all to make the bigger 900g loafs. then there's the cup...the measurements in the list say for example add one cup of water...but the cup supplied is labelled and the top of the cup is labelled 3/4 cup. as such some maths is required to put the correct ingredients in to make a nice loaf...a fair amount of costly trial and error later & you do have a very nice loaf of bread. It's easy to operate as the instructions are clear. i also found it easy to clean. it is a little bulky so in a small kitchen it ...  Read the complete review

Ive just bought this breadmaker so at the moment still learning. I am disappointed at the moment with it but I did expect teething problems to start. The actual look of the bm is very attractive, small and has a useful handle to carry it if you need to move it. The price is fab, £29 from tesco which is what drew me to it in the first place as i didnt want to waste a lot of money on an expensive bm if i couldnt get the bread right. I have tried the first recipe in the book included which is a white loaf, it didnt rise at all, not sure what went wrong but will try again. also the cup included for measuring is difficult to read the amounts, perhaps marking the outside with ...  Read the complete review

Bought one to make sure we would use it rather than splashing out a fortune on another kitchen 'ornament' - and yes we DO use it, very much cheaper than shop bought bread, no waste (it all gets eaten) but slightly short on capacity - the packets of bread mix (500g) are just a bit much for it to handle, which is not a problem since we generally only mix half a bag at a time - so that's a small, really nice loaf for about 35p. Mine has exhibited a most worrying fault however and will be going back - for an exchange however not a refund as I don't see much point in buying a more expensive one, this works just fine. The fault - after use (time complete, ...  Read the complete review

Over the past few years I have become a lot more active in the kitchen, I'm not a particularly skilled cook, but I like to try! My mum bought this for me as a christmas present, I'd been hinting for a while so was extremely happy! The breadmaker is extremely easy to use, it looks good and doesn't take up too much space. In the box you will get: The breadmaker (obviously!), recipe/instruction booklet, bread pan, mixing paddle, measuring cup, spoon and bread hook. It took me around 2 weeks to realise what the bread hook was actually for! Sometimes the mixing paddle comes out with the bread and gets stuck at the bottom of the loaf after ...  Read the complete review
