If you're looking for a good starter machine, the Morphy Richards 48245 (£49) is good:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000AN If you're looking for one which is a little more advanced then the Panasonic SD254 (£77) is great: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000QV The Panasonic SD255 (£80) is also great, it's the same as the 254, but has an automatic nut/raisin dispenser: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000QU

I've tried a few different makes and models and the Panasonic SD255 is the best by far, consistently good bread and at £80 a great deal on Amazon.

I would add my vote to the Panasonic SD255. Just a fantastic machine.

Mr. Martin J. Harvey says:
I have had three models of bread machine over the last ten years, so when the last one died from overuse I pushed the boat out at Christmas and purchased the Panasonic sd255.
I can honestly say it is so good that the whole family fights to use it daily,(including a 10yr old tough lad). Great results, easy to use and totaly reliable risen bread and cakes, and at £80 a bargain.

I have the earlier version of the Panasonic SD255 which has been in continual use for the last 3 years. I cannot fault it in any way. The Panasonic is the way to go.

The best bread is made by hand - minimal work (maybe 15 minutes over three hours proving time), and half an hour in the oven.
http://ronsrantsbreadblog.wordpress.com/ I have arthritis in my hands, and bread-making is excellent for it - physio and food all in one... Having said that, the Panasonic machines do have a great rep (I used a machine for six years - now consigned to oblivion), and Kenwood have just introduced one which looks pretty good. Seriously, though, just use you hands...

Panasonic SD 253 is brill, can put bowl in dishwasher, make dough for nan breads/pizzas, decent loaves and exotic stuff with seeds/raisins etc. Had ours for a few years and used regularly.

Hi , I always made my bread by hand, until arthritis struck, and I have had all models of Panasonic Bread makers for the past 12 years, I have tried other manufacturers in between, but non match the Panasonic for reliability and consistently good bread.
I cannot say more!!PS my first small machine cost 299.00. and I still use it in my caravan. Paticat.

I've had an earlier model of the Panasonic: I've made bread in it on most days for the last 8 years, and it is faultless. I cannot recommend this enough, I've had friends buy other brands, but their bread is not as tasty! I would also recommend using Waitrose Canadian Bread Flour, it seems to give a better loaf (both white and wholemeal), but maybe that's just what we are used to in our house.

Yes, definitely the Panasonic is the way to go. Have had one for 5 years and use it all the time. I now have 3 friends that have the same model, plus my son and daughter in law and daughter in law's parents and sister. Regards the Waitrose Canadian bread flour, yes very good. But we are now using Waitrose ordinary bread flour which is excellent and less expensive. 75p for 1.5kg white and 95p for 1.5kg wholemeal. Consider the fact that you get 3 x 500 gm (large) fluffy light loaves (use honey instead of sugar) out of each bag. The breadmaker soon pays for itself.

Dr. Alexander Wedderburn says:
You can get the best of both worlds by using a Panasonic for the dough-making, and then kneading it, and putting it in bread tins to rise, and then baking them.
As well as keeping the hands fit, it is also brilliant at cleaning finger nails.

I've used a Breville fan-assisted bread maker for years. It does take time to find the right recipe to suit your individual taste; once found, stick to it for excellent results every time.

Without a doubt the Panasonic SD 255 I've had a few different Breadmakers over the years this one is the best by far, you might find cheaper but in my opinion non better.

Panasonic SD255 Breadmaker with Raisin/Nut Dispenser
I got the Panasonic SD 255 for my birthday in July. It's the one and only "gadget" I have that I use daily (sometimes twice a day). It remarkable. The timer allows you to put a loaf on ready for the morning and the smell..............well its delicious to wake up to. Its so easy to use, just plonk in the ingredients and water and off you go. You must get this machine - it is fabulous.

I have recently acquired a slightly older Panasonic bread maker than the ones discussed here,an SD-251,and it just does exactly what it says on the tin - every time a perfect result - and it`s easy,fun and so satisfying,with very little cleaning.
I could not recommend it too highly,you will not regret purchasing one of Panasonic`s excellent machines.

Tesco currently have an own-brand machine at just under £30. Nothing to beat it at the price. I've had one in daily use for almost 3 months now and it's proving very reliable. I recommend Dove's Farm organic wholemeal flour for the best bread. It's the cheapest organic wholemeal bread flour and lots of supermarkets carry it (including Tesco).

Another Panasonic SD255 fan here. Bought one about 6 months ago and it is first class. Buy the SD255 model as it gives you the option to put nuts/seeds/fruit into the bread whilst cooking, rather than having to wait by it to bleep and then manually having to mix them in. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
