Help with bread maker please

I am a great fan of breadmakers, I had a few duds but love my Panasonic , not the cheapest , but it turns out a great loaf to the detriment of my waistline . I slice the bread and freeze it , so ,I don't eat it all at once

I’ve had a Morphy Richards one for a few years and find it good.

Thank you aggie you made me laugh ?I won’t eat all mine at once either I hope ?x

Thank you Marydoll I will read through those comments. Very helpful ?x

Thank you Farmor15 I will look at some Murphy Richards ones too. I’m so glad I asked on here you are all very helpful thank you x

Mine is a Panasonic, I love it!. I read lots of online reviews, before buying, as my previous one ( not Panasonic) had become unreliable.
The only thing I would say is, it has lots of
Programmes, but I tend to stick to the same two or three.

Ours is Morphy Richards. Charity shops often have them new or hardly used.

Another happy Panasonic Baker here. As well as the fully baked programmes we quite often use it just to make dough for rolls, buns, focaccia and so on. It does also have options for ‘french’ and ‘ciabatta’ which are nice but not quite the real thing.

Mine is a small one from Lakeland and I love it. I use dried yeast but found that if you don't use it for a while [quite a long while in my case] the bread doesn't rise - in fact it was a solid lump but a new tin of yeast did the trick. A good excuse to keep making bread

I had a Morphy Richards but 'traded up' for a Panasonic, which is far superior. I think in this case, it's true that you get what you pay for.

Regarding dry yeast, I keep the tub in the fridge and it lasts for ages.

Thank you ladies for all your help and advice ? I have a lot to look into now and am looking forward to choosing one. I think I will post more often it’s nice and friendly here thank you? I’m not usually very good with forums ?

you are very welcome xxx

Ours is Panasonic. DH makes bread every other day and have used ours a lot. I think it works well.

Would recommend Panasonic. I also have to freeze away the fresh bread or I might eat the whole loaf!! Use it a lot for pizza dough which keeps grandson happy and he does the toppings. I also freeze away some pizza dough as well which is handy when family come round unexpectedly near a meal time.
