Morphy Richards Fastbake Breadmaker, 12 Programmes, 1.5lb, 2lb Loaf Sizes, 13 Hour Delay Timer, Keep Warm, 48281, White

After a Panasonic that eventually dies we took a chance on this bread maker. What a good decision, follow the recipes in the manual and you can't go wrong. It makes lovely fluffy bread and it's easy to use. And for the money!!. Highly recommended.

Excellent, easy to use and you KNOW exactly what goes into your bread.

Only used it once so far, made a basic white loaf that came out really nice. Compact size ,quite easy to operate. Not to impressed with the quality of the cup and measuring spoons that are supplied with it would have been better if they were stainless steel instead of plastic, but for the price can’t complain.

I bought this to replace a 30+ year old Hinari that has given sterling service, but I decided to retire it, due to the Teflon lining of the pan starting to wear off, and the plastic lid starting to smell of 'Old plastic' I replaced the mixing pan bearing and seal around 6 years ago, but It doesn't look like the new one is designed to have this done, should it ever need it.. The new one has a tough act to follow.. I have only made one loaf so far using a recipe that doesn't contain dried milk powder or oil. For reference, 17.5 oz (500g)of strong bread flour,1.5 tsp of caster sugar, 1.5 tsp of salt,1/2 oz of butter, and 11.2 oz of tepid water and 2 tsp of powdered yeast.( we had only imperial scales when we bought the first bread maker..) This turned out quite well, if a little well done, using the medium crust colour, and the 1 1/2 lb loaf size. This new bread maker has quite a bit more functionality, and can bake different size loaves, so some experimentation with quantities and settings will I'm sure make delicious fresh bread... The enclosed instruction book, like other reviews have said, is a little strange, but a set of digital scales make the precise measuring quite straightforward.

Excellent, comes with some recipes to bake bread. Quiet once it's done it's mixing, easy cleaning, makes tasty bread! Good value bread maker.

So far I have made the basic white and basic wholemeal loaves. The wholemeal is tasty and makes excellent sandwiches, and the white bread makes the best toast I have ever had! This machine does not have all the extra programmes and dispensing compartments that more expensive machines do, but it is very straightforward to use and does not take up too much space in my kitchen

So far I've managed to create rather nice bread. I've ignored the recipe book provided and used a basic white bread recipe with just flour, water, yeast, salt and a tad of sugar. Programme One with a medium crust takes 3 hrs. The finished colour is pale, but the bread is good. The tip to remove the paddle while the bread is still cooling is a good one. Now I have confidence in the machine I'm going to advance to wholemeal then seeded. Very happy with the machine. My advice is start basic and don't be ambitious.

Would have given this five stars easy to use and understand and it does the job perfect but mine as started to make a clunking sound and I know other people have had the same problem from other reviews. So will see how it goes
