I recently bought this for myself as i wanted to started making my own bread/cakes buns from scratch. This machine came highly recommened and it didnt fail to impress me. Very easy to use with a little bit of practise, oh and not forgetting to put the kneeding blade before adding ingrediants etc.. helps !! At first using the normal programme for medium white loaf seemed to go on forever as it does take 4 hours. But i highly recommend using the fast bake option as it comes out just as good. also there is a timer feature on it which means you can set it to start say before you get up in the morning so you can wake up to the lovely smell of freash bread, but is that a good idea because you will just want to eat it all ! I find using the fast bake option more than adequate for general sandwich bread , and i have made gingerbread in it also. As i have only had it for two weeks so far i havent quite got round to trying any of the other programmes but should remedy that soon. To keep clean it is very easy also as you just take the pan out making sure not to put into direct water, and wipe it out with a cloth. Would point out that you should always use strong flour and make sure you take the bread out as soon as the programme has finished else it will effect the crust and general quality of the finished loaf.
