This is the third bread maker I’ve had and I definitely wouldn’t recommend. I’ve followed the recipe as I’ve always done before and it’s very hit and miss the quality of the bread. I quite frequently have a lump of flour on the side of the bread and have wasted quite a lot of flour.

I do like this bread machine but there are a few things which aren't quite right. Firstly the menu isn't illuminated so it's difficult to see what programme etc you are choosing. Had to put the torch on my phone to see it. Also asked for a light crust on the white sandwich loaf and it was very dark. Same thing happened on the rapid wholemeal and basic white. Think I will use my own recipes in future to see what happens. Also think it's a bit pricey for what it does. In hindsight I should have sent it back

Pretty good for the money and straightforward to set up and use. Started off with a Rapid loaf that took 1:30mins. Came out really well so graduated to stuff that takes longer using the delay timer (overnight). This bread came out even better. Seems to be a good array of ‘recipes’ and other bits and bobs you can do as well (including jam!).

Very good value for money bread maker. Performance is excellent and produces great bread loaves in a fairly short duration. The machine is a little more noisy when neading than my previous Panasonic and doesn't have a compartment to add dry ingredients, hence 4*. Product recipe book has a mistake - it stares that the basic bread recipe is no. 4 but there is no recipe number 4!

My partner was concerned about the rounded base of the tin when we first opened this. Turns out the loaf itself appears much less rounded and he's now happy! Only used a few times so far so still exploring all the options. Easy to get to grips with instructions, simple to use and the products so far have been great. Nice relatively small footprint on work surface.

Really easy to use bread maker… great range of functions too

Having had 3 different Panasonic breadmakers over 20 years, the last was their most expensive model and I was very disappointed that it broke down only 3 years after purchase! My first one lasted more than a decade of daily use. Not so the next two. So I decided to buy a (much cheaper and with a better aesthetic) Tefal Pain and Delice breadmaker from AOL. I am very impressed with it on every front. The bread is lovely and it’s very easy to use.

Excelent white bread at first attempt !
