Sagem 4461

Russell Hobbs 4461 - spare parts

Advantages: Does a decent job of making a range of breads
Disadvantages: Spare parts policy is not customer/environment focussed

The Russell Hobbs 4461 'does what it says on the tin' ie you can make a range of loaves with the minimal fuss that you would expect from a breadmaker. What you might like to know as a potential purchaser is 'can I get spares if it goes wrong'? If you want a new paddle (the bit that kneads the dough), no problem. If you need a new baking tin, again no problem. I need a new seal for the shaft at the bottom of the loaf tin. Just a small rubber o-ring seal, value a few pence. However, the spares outlet (Salton, the parent company of Russell Hobbs) will only sell a complete loaf tin (cost £17). I have pointed out to them how customer unfriendly this is not to mention the environmental damage of making a new metal loaf tin to get the use of a small rubber seal but they simply repeat that they 'unfortunately' only sell the loaf tin ...

Review of Russell Hobbs 4461

Say What? No Sagem

Advantages: Cheap, does what it says it can do
Disadvantages: Limited functionality

just required the simplest and cheapest of options I chose the Sagem ITD58G from Argos at the then very reasonable price of just £26.99. ►►► What do you get in the box Before I get onto the contents, I have to say I am quite impressed with the amount of packaging, as although it comes in the usual cardboard box with polystyrene inserts and a plastic bag around the Sagem ITD58G, they have kept the size to a minimum, cutting down on the amount of wastage. Once you have unpacked the ITD58G, a first time user maybe a little disappointed as although you get the ITD58G, a remote control (with 2 batteries) and a user guide, you do not get any other cables, such as a Scart lead or standard RF lead. Fortunately, having already had a Freeview box, I had already got the necessary leads but sympathise with anyone who purchases ...

Review of Sagem ITD58

What can I say about Sagem?

Advantages: Compact, lightweight.
Disadvantages: Very hard to follow manual.

a huge risk. We are in an area that they claim cannot receive freeview, plus the upstairs Television has an aerial in the loft. But we bought one anyway, and we bought a Sagem ITD58. We had gone into argos planning to buy another make. Unfortunately it was out of stock. An alternative was given but it was £20 more. So I tried the Sagem which was only £10 more. To my surprise it was in stock (So why did I not get offered that!) and it was reduced to £5 less than the one we had originally chosen. We paid £35 for ours, but the next day the new catalogue came out and it had been reduced by another fiver. Grrrrrr!!! **The Unit** The Unit is fairly small compared to others. Measuring just 22cmsx13.5cms x3.5cms and weighing in at only 400g. It is a grey colour which will match most televisions, dvds, videos etc. The remote control is small ...
