Advantages: Delicious home-made bread the easy-peasy way Disadvantages: Not suitable for sudden influx of starving visitors!
...Update 21st May 2004
My breadmaker is still going strong, and I've recently seen them on offer at £19.99 in the local Safeway. Buy one!
I bought my Hinari HB174 some months ago while it was on Special Offer at Safeway for £29.99.

Advantages: no mixing, kneading or mess Disadvantages: none apparent

What a great smell to greet you on waking in the morning and it tastes wonderful too. The Hinari HB154 was my choice because it was one of the cheaper models and i thought if it turned out to be a waste of money I hadnt been stung to badly. I should have had more faith- its always on in our house and I say that if you are considering buying a breadmaker- dont be put off - just do it- you wont regret it....
