Terrific, in use constantly, 4 July 2011
This review is from: Morphy Richards 48323 Premium Breadmaker, White (Kitchen & Home)
I purchased this at a special offer price for my other half who had had a hankering for a breadmaker for some time. I actually thought it might have been a one day wonder, but no, its actually been used nearly every day since it arrived. I would probably feel quite lost without the reassuring bleeps in makes in the kitchen now. I would say, fiddle with the recipes, he's got it down to no extra salt and no extra sugar (ready yeast contains some dried milk which again contains natural sugars). If you are of a sweet toothed nature, you'll probably want the sugar left in, but it can be radically reduced by stages to get to the right level for you and to form part of a healthy diet. Again, if you like very savoury bread, leave the salt in, but we found most of the recipes too salty (like much supermarket bread). This is a great way to get Artisan type bread to your table each day, without any real fuss or faffing about. The electronic display was not obvious to work with at the start, not intuitive anyway. As one other reviewer has mentioned, you need to hold down a while to clear or change settings - no mention in the book, we thought it wasn't working and phoned the makers for advice. Its good to be able to set it up with all the ingredients, then go out, setting it to come on later and return to freshly baked bread. It makes excellant ciabatta too. My only concern is that the thing may wear out before we've had it for a year at the rate we use it.

Breadmaker, 7 Dec 2010
This review is from: Morphy Richards 48323 Premium Breadmaker, White (Kitchen & Home)
This is an excellent product. As a first time venture into home bread making machines not only does this meet but exceed expectations. Like all devices it is necessary to read both the operating and bread recipe instructions carefully. The machine works just as it promises, though some experimentaion to adjust things like sugar/salt content in recipes has been necessary - that, though, is down to individual tastes. I have tried do-it-yourself recipes and ready prepared bread mixes. All have been perfectly acceptable. When considering buying a bread making machine I looked at several options and was almost set to buy one of the cheaper machines. However, at the Amazon Price, it meant I bought a more advanced model with a wide range of options for less than £20 more than the price of a basic breadmaker machine. Some friends told me recently that they have had a breadmaker machine for a few years but can't be bothered because the kneading paddle leaves a hole in the bread. Okay, maybe it isn't aesthetically pleasing - not that I have found it displeasing - but I wonder how important that is when trying to find bread to buy during last weeks disruption to bread supplies due to adverse weather conditions. As far as I am concerned a small hole at the underside of the loaf is a small price to pay for fresh, healthy bread, and I choose what type of loaf. I highly recommend this product.
