Product Description

Product Description

Imagine the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread in your own home and the delicious taste which home-baked bread guarantees. The Breadman Healthy Options by Russell Hobbs takes home bread making to a new level, by introducing a wide range of features, designed to bake a vast range of bread products, all with the minimum of fuss. Breadman Healthy Options by Russell Hobbs is a high performance product, with over 110 cycle combinations and will bake three loaf sizes, 500g, 750g and 1kg, with a choice of light, medium or dark crusts. For convenience, a 24hr delay bake timer, gives you the option of setting the finishing time up to 24hrs ahead and the machine also features a 1 hr keep warm function.

For adding a bit of variety to your recipes, Breadman Healthy Options features a handy fruit, nut and herb dispenser. This feature allows the additional ingredients to be added at the precise moment, even if you are not at home. Simply add the ingredients into the dispenser and select the “extras” function and these will be added to your bread, during the baking process.

In addition, the machine also has a 10 minute fully random pause control, which allows the user to intervene during the baking cycle. With this feature, you can add a decorative crust, add crumble toppings, glaze the crust or create a rustic Mediterranean type bread.

Breadman Healthy Options has a number of pre-set programme controls, these include, white, wholewheat, french, fruit and nut, cake, jam and pizza dough. A rapid program, is available on the first four programs and gives you the choice of reducing the program time by 1 hour. A bake only cycle with variable temperate control uses the machine as an oven. Use this program to bake dough you’ve made earlier or ready prepared dough from the supermarket.

Versaility is the key with Breadman Healthy Options, in addition to the standard programs, the machine has 5 memory cells available for creating your own recipes. This will prove invaluable for experienced users of the machine, who wish to create their own unique recipe. In addition to the personal memory cells, you can also change any of the standard programs to suit yourself. Should the power fail, for less than one hour during the baking process, the Breadman Healthy Options features an Instant Recall power failure back-up, which will resume the program, once power is restored.

A viewing window on the top of the unit, allows you to make sure your bread is being prepared as you wish and is also very handy for keeping a check on what stage of the baking cycle the machine is at. The Breadman Healthy Options is also designed for easy cleaning, the lid, loaf tin and kneading arm can all be removed and washed in warm soapy water, while all other surfaces can be wiped clean, ready for use next time.

The Breadman Healthy Options by Russell Hobbs is supplied with comprehensive recipe cards to ensure you get the best out of your bread maker.

This bread maker makes good bread but is designed badly and customer services are less than helpful. my bread makers paddle stopped rotating when experiencing resistance of kneading dough after 13months of regular use of once a week. On inspection I discovered that the large cog under the machine that rotates the paddle was slipping due to it being made of a soft plastic which has resulted on the center of this cog being worn out, I contacted russell hobbes directly who said this part is not considered consumable and so do not make replacement parts. This of course makes good financial sense for them as they expect the customer to purchase a new bread maker for the sake of an easily replaceable and inexpensive part. I strongly recommend steering clear of this product unless you wish to replace this product every couple of years. If anybody does know where you can get replacement parts for this product it would be greatly appreciated.

We're just in the process of returning the Breadman to Amazon or Russell Hobbs. We've had it for approx. 8 months and it's been making lovely healthy bread. However, the mechanism for holding the bread tin doesn't work now (2 metal prongs at either side of the bread tin), so when it's kneading, the bread tin now lifts up and rides on top of the rotating base so it doesn't get kneaded. Now I can see the problem with it I can't even see how a direct replacement would satisfy the problem in the long term. I would prefer a refund or a similar Russell Hobbs with a totally different fixing system.

Breadman 19 Nov 2009
I bought this as a replacement for my old machine, when I couldn't purchase a new baking tin.
The recipe I had been using for years was for a larger loaf than the new tin, so decided to try the one included. As a result I am now using much less salt and sugar and getting a good loaf into the bargain.
Quick loaves are excellent, as is the different recipe for pizza dough.
The only reason I am not giving this machine 5 stars is because of the display, which could be brighter.
At under 5ft tall, I have to stand on a step to look down on it, and despite good eyesight and with the kitchen light on, (basement kitchen) it is still hard to read.
Other than that, an excellent machine. Well worth the money.
Update September 2011.
The seal on the bread pan failed a couple of weeks ago & would no longer hold water.
I had bought a 3 yr insurance when buying the breadmaker but was not sure whether this fault would be covered.
It was and I received a full money back refund within a week of making the claim.
As Amazon no longer sells it direct, am debating whether to try a different machine.
