My daughter has this and thinks it’s perfect. It’s a sensible design, size and shape and looks clean and smart. We bought one. It had a dent all down one corner ( packaging not damaged, so evidently packed like this. The replacement repeatedly didn’t fold down the paddle ( special feature, supposed to avoid leaving a torn hole in the base of the loaf). Since we usually take the dough out and make rolls etc. with it, we decided to put up with that. Recently, the loaf tin was very difficult to remove from the bread maker, and on the next occasion we couldn’t remove it at all. AO complained to Sage for us, and replaced it, since they didn’t respond to us, even after we’d sent them a video of us trying to remove the tin from the bread maker.

Was unsure at first, but so glad we got this. It doesn't come with a recipe book but easy enough to download a specific one from their website. Bread comes out really light and with a firm crust. We have managed to turn out a decent wholemeal loaf yet but trail and error. The machine it self is easy to use and keep clean, and just does what it is ment to. We didn't plan on spending so much on a bread maker as we didn't know if it would get the use, but so far used every day and have not bought from the shop since purchase. We prefer the .750kg loaf as the 1kg is just taller and won't fit in the toaster, and a bread slicer is a must to get proper slices to make it worth while.

This bread maker is easy to use and clean and makes great bread without the big hole in bottom like some machines. Great buy

Used straight away after unwrapping, easy to use but the best bit was the smell and taste of freshly baked bread, it’s fantastic. Just a side note didn’t get much of an he bread as everyone who came round wanted some, have to bake more.

Be aware that this bread maker comes without documentation. Our package contained just the main unit and two paddles; one fixed and one retractable. There was no instruction booklet or even a recipe book despite there being a holder on the rear of the machine to keep them in! Conatcted Sage who sent me a link to some PDFs!! Not the best customer service so beware.

Well made, stylish and very easy to use. Bread is cooked nicely and there are plenty of menu options.
