Great for making my own keto bread
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I bought this to make my own keto bread using the keto king recipe on youtube. It's a great wee machine, just layer up the ingredients and press a button. For keto bread I use the gluten free setting and it comes out perfect. The first few loaves had the paddle stuck inside them, making it difficult to tip the loaf out onto the cooling rack. So now I remove the paddle from the machine when it's finished the mixing cycle....problem solved and no big hole in the bottom of the bread.

Not great on a large loaf setting
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Works brilliantly but not on a large loaf. On a large loaf setting it expands that much that it sinks in the middle and some times overlaps the pan, so you get a dip in the middle on top and a hole in the bottom from the paddle.

The bread with the hole!
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Good little bread maker BUT...The blade always pulls the middle out of the loaf which is annoying when trying to slice it AND the pan leaves black marks on everything it touches! Ruined 3 tea towels so far!

Quite noisy
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

This machine is tricky to set up as the display lights are virtually impossible to see. Also there is no way you could set this going overnight as it's very noisy. Apart from the general running noise,it rings an alarm part way through so you can add fruit or nuts. Also you need to remove loaf as soon as it is finished or you will have trouble getting it out the pan. Overall though it suits my purposes and at least I have control over what my bread contains.

I love my Russell Hobbs!
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Bought on a whim, turned out to be one of the best purchases I've made. The machine is simple to use, and the bread tastes so much better than most shop bought loaves. A small loaf costs about half the price of one bought from the supermarket.Because it contains no preservatives it doesn't keep as long, but the upside is because it's so tasty, it's eaten very quickly. The timer is child's play, and who wouldn't want to wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread?One of the very few purchases I've made where the novelty hasn't worn off, and I wish I'd bought one years ago.

I got this to replace 10 year old same model that wore out after heavy use
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I recommend making your own loaves. Cheaper and so much better than shop bought.I recommend the full 3 hour 20 minute bake, but if you are in a hurry the longer fast bake, fast bake 2 makes better bread. Put a little more yeast in for fast bake.A small flat digital weighing machine is good. Put the baking bread mould on the top, zero it and go by weight.200 ml of water weighs 200 grams, so I have settled on 300 flour to 200 water, which works well for a good sized loaf. Home baked loaves keep longer in the bread bin without going moldy. They are great for toast on the second day.Use bread flour of course. If you want brown bread a 50/50 mix with white is less heavy.A little butter added along with sugar and salt works well.Nothing like the aroma of a hot loaf. You get the aroma around the house as it nears completion of the baking cycle. Extract the metal baking mould and stand it to cool a bit before removing loaf and put on cooling rack to avoid condensation.I give the instruction for non-chefs like me!

Nice compact breadmaker
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

The reasons why I am giving four stars is that the shape and size of the paddle makes for a much bigger hole in the bread than what I have experienced with my former breadmakers.

Good little bread maker
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I love my little bread maker it was my treat to myself just after christmas. Its easy to use and easy to clean my husband loves it when he comes home to freshly cooked bread. We are selling our house so been a bit sneaky and had loaf cooking with viewings going on. I found that the larger loaf setting was getting stuck to the viewing window as it was rising too high but the medium loaf is enough for us for 2 days. I also purchased the bread storage from Amazon as it has a cutting guide after my daughter hacked at the loaf one day it holds a large loaf with ease. Nice and small on work top not taking up too much room. You will find that people say it moves about a lot but I haven't experienced that. yes it is noisy when it first starts up when its kneading the dough but that is only for a short time. I work nights so I have also used the timer so that when I wake up i have a nice fresh bread ready for me. The menu to change requirements is easy to use (almost 54 so senior moments) the fast bake loaf is ok just a bit more doughy as my husband said it more a breakfast or soup loaf. All in all a great little bread maker and I am more than happy with my very first bread maker

Bought this for my girlfriend at Christmas, as she's always wanted one.To be honest, it's possibly the best present I've ever bought her, the bread is wonderfully made, tastes brilliant, the instructions are perfectly clear, and the included recipes easy to follow. I would recommend a set of decent electronic scales to accompany the machine. Cleaning it is easy.It's the "best thing since sliced bread" - honestly..!

This is so easy to use, just put the ingredients in and the machine does everything else till the bread is baked. This was my first attempt and Iam very pleased with the result. I would recommend this product.

Nice compact bread maker, but very noisy.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Bought as a replacement for the Lakeland compact bread maker, which has been discontinued. It looks good and fits into roughly the same space, although it's much noisier than the Lakeland one (we'd seen this on other reviews, but were still surprised at how noisy it is!) and for some reason it seems more difficult to get the paddle out of the bottom of the loaf so it leaves a bigger hole in the bottom. Other than that it works well.

Easy to use
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Excellent machine. I haven't bought any bread since buying this machine. It's helped cut down on my single use plastic use as a result. Easy and quick to use. Only takes a couple of minutes to put everything in and then don't need to do anything else until it's ready. The timer function is a great addition. Recipe's provided produce good results. Customer service were quick to reply and helpful too. I'd definitely recommend.

Good Machine
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I bought this because I wanted to stop buying shop bread full of artificial additives and sugar. So far this has been a great buy and I have used it many times. I have tried the basic white loaf and wholemeal, together with the fruit cake (which is more like a tea loaf than a cake, but tastes great). It has been easy to figure out the settings and the instructions are clear. Recommended.

Faulty
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

We never got a chance to make bread in this, because it turned up unusable. The bread tin will not come out of the machine. Three people tried. I've used a bread machine for years, so it's not a matter of not knowing what to do. The loaf tin is not sitting square to the machine or even itself, the whole thing looks distorted. Clearly it's a faulty one, but I'm probably not going to get a replacement. It has to be pulled all the way to the front of the worktop and then turned ninety degrees if you want to pull the bread tin out without having to hold the lid open with your other hand, and with my compact Lakeland (which I was going to replace in the hope of being able to bake bigger loaves), you only had to pull it forward a bit before the lid would stay open. My wall cabinets are on the lower side, but even so. I don't have much worktop space and don't usually have enough clearance for faffing around like that, that's the whole point of wanting a compact model.

The product is great, really easy to use and you can literally have fresh bread every morning.Delivery was a bit of a nightmare, the company selected for delivery didn't work during weekend, and they couldn't drop the parcel anywhere, on the 3rd attempt, luckily, I was home.
