I was about to order this Bread Maker after reading a recent Which Magazine review. They gave it an excellent rating. However, when I read an Amazon review, the only one to date associated with this machine, I almost changed my mind, but decided to seek further reviews on other websites before making my decision as Which are normally correct in their reviews. I'm glad I did. This machine is excellent and aligns with the Which findings. I have now baked 6 perfect loaves, three 2Lb Wholemeal loaves from the Morphy Richards Recipe Book that came with the product, and three packet mixes. All baked perfectly all the way through and in my opinion were faultless. I have experimented with different crust settings, all surprisingly good.
In order to give an objective view to this product, the only negative things that I would say is that of the six loaves I have made, the paddle has stuck in the bottom of the loaf more often than not. Also, when the machine arrived from Amazon the small plastic measuring cup was damaged. However I rang the UK Helpline at Morphy Richards, and a new one arrived in the post within 3 days. Excellent service Morphy Richards!!!
