Advantages: Fresh bread without the mess
Disadvantages: Time taken

Positives A clean and easy way to make fresh bread, dough and cakes. Never had a bread making failure - every time I've used this machine my family have ... Read review

Advantages: Produces a good loaf, easy to use
Disadvantages: Quite a bulky unit

I have had this bread maker some time but have only recently started using it full time. I have used a few modes all with good results. The dough mode produces fantastic pizza dough and the cake mode makes great loaf shaped cakes. I am also lazy and use ready mixes with great success in the machine. Fast mode and normal mode work fine on the recipes provided and with others I have sourced from elsewhere. My only complaints is that it takes up ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, quick to clean
Disadvantages: Quite bulky, takes up alot of worktop space

...I got in touch with Prima direct and requested a instruction booklet, which they quickly sent me in the post. Since then i haven't looked back. The capabilities of this breadmaker are endless.

Advantages: Has timer and keep warm function.
Disadvantages: sometimes the kneader, get's stuck in the bottom of loaf.....

I bought this bread maker about a year ago from Amazon, I paid £34.99 and I am very happy with it, makes a lovely loaf and also you can bake cakes in it, takes alittle more prep but worth it. I have not tried to make jam in yet though. Also you can make doughs also, i have done this for bread rolls, which th edough is lovely light and fluffy and simply shape into 6-8 rolls and bake in the oven. It's a very verstaile machine. ONE problem- the kneader ... Read review
