Works great. Paddle doesn’t leave much of a dent in the loaf

very good bread

Really happy with the quality and features of this bread maker. I have made 8 loaves so far and they’ve all turned out really well. Love the ability to remove the paddle before the bread bakes, but even if I forget, the paddle folds down and minimises the hole in the bottom of the loaf.

Great product we’ve had bread machines for 35 years and this is the best one we’ve had makes great loaves with a wide range of recipes and very easy to use

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.
