Kenwood BM200

Advantages: Price, Ease of use
Disadvantages: No nut dispenser

...look and sound of the Kenwood BM200. In Curry’s it was reduced to £49.99 from £79.99 (I guess they’re just always cutting prices), and was the same price at Argos. We decided to go to Curry’s to make our purchase as we didn’t want to queue for a ridiculous amount of time at Argos. We found the one we wanted, made a man go and get one for us “from out back” and wandered to the till. By this point I had already flicked through a few of the recipe books ...
...you but knew that the Kenwood offered much more value for money than anything else displayed. So we bought it, went to Sainsbury’s and bought ingredients and went home. When I unwrapped the box I was greeted with a quite complex puzzle, how do I possibly get the thing out of the box (little rant coming now, if you don’t want to read skip to next paragraph). If you are on your own it would be a nightmare to access your bread maker. It is wedged in ... Read review

Advantages: smells wonderful,bakes the perfect loaf
Disadvantages: a bit noisy for the bedroom

...desk, then suddenly saw a Kenwood Rapid Bake actually being used to bake a loaf next to the desk. This was on special offer at £59.99, £10.00 cheaper than normal and cheaper than the one I had picked. Sam lifted the lid of the Kenwood to see what was happening, and then noticed the placard that said, "Please do not lift the lid". We suddenly felt obliged to purchase a Kenwood! I couldn't use this until Christmas day, of course, but truly, I couldn't ...
...would be terrific. My Kenwood Rapid Bake is a BM200 and comes with a recipe book. I found from trial and error that the best flour to use, of those I've tried so far, is Allinsons very strong white (in a black bag) for white loaves or McDougall's Granary (in a blue and yellow bag) for granary. You can also use a mix of both for a paler brown bread. Funnily enough, the first yeast I used was Allinson's dried in a little tub, which I already had ... Read review

Advantages: Lovely bread, gorgeous smell!
Disadvantages: Takes a bit of time

...new one and chose the Kenwood Breadmaker BM200, costing about £65. The first thing that I noticed about my new toy was the fact that the outer dimensions are smaller than my previous breadmaker, thus making it look neater and or course it takes up less room in the kitchen. The instruction book is all in English, which pleased me, as I can’t be doing with searching through all manner of languages trying to find the relevant one! It seems obvious ...
...in the language of the country where it is to be sold. The booklet explains the guarantee, all the necessary safeguards for the use of electrical appliances and then on to the business of bread making. There are clear diagrams of the breadmaker, although these are hardly necessary as it is so straightforward and simple it is almost unbelievable. The recipes are many and varied ranging from the basic white, brown and wholemeal loaves to all sorts ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic fresh bread whenever you want
Disadvantages: Quite noisy, bread disappears too rapidly

...hard and plumped for the Kenwood BM200 mainly for the name but also because it had one of the shorter baking times and a 2lb loaf size capacity. The pan has a kneader that separated from the inside for cleaning which can be a little awkward to remove but if you follow the instructions and soak it with a little water in the bottom of the pan after cooking a loaf it does come out that bit easier. Initially I was disappointed with it - it is significantly ...
...it created. I telephoned Kenwood who told me to return it to Argos (where I had made the original purchase) with my receipt (which I still had) to get a replacement machine. I was sceptical about this, expecting an argument at the store, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it amazingly easy. I arrived with my machine, explained the situation and left Argos ten minutes later with a brand new Kenwood BM200 and an endorsed receipt showing the start ... Read review

Advantages: Lovely fresh baked bread
Disadvantages: noisy

...of butter. I received the Kenwood Rapid Bake as a present about 2 years ago and it has given me many delicious loaves of bread. It is easy to use and it only takes about 5 minutes to get the ingredients together then all you have to do is wait, it takes about 3 hours for a loaf but there is also a rapid bake function hence the name, this makes a delicious loaf in 1 hour, you need to use tepid water for this cycle to help it along a little. Size: ...
