Pro Stainless Steel Bread Maker, 2LB 17-in-1 Automatic Bread Maker Machine UK with Ceramic Pan, Nut Dispenser, Glass Touch Panel, 3 Loaf Sizes 3 Crust Colors, 15H Timer, 1H Keep-Warm,Low-Noise

I have had a few Bread Machines and this one is by far the best! I bake a loaf every few days. This one cooks an even loaf shaped bread in a ceramic pan, no Teflon. It kneads twice and rises thrice on the Wholemeal setting. It has 17 options; like cake, dough, bake only etc without being over the top and complicated. Comes with a spare paddle/nurdle and a free Oven Mitt that is a very usable size, not too large or thick. It dispels condensation during the 2nd rise; the Window becomes clear again and, it looks great! Not at all oversized, only the pan is large. I LOVE IT! I think you will too. I use 500grams wholemeal flour on the 1K setting, perfect! Happy to recommend!

After 7 months of regular use, this has proven the best breadmaker I have used. Initially I found the touch-pad too sensitive for my liking, but this was mainly down to my ignorance of the pause/restart button, which has overcome the initial frustrations. The unit cooks extremely well and continues to release the cooked contents better than any others I have used.

I've had quite a few bread makers over the years. And this is as good as any of them... in some ways better. The good bits: It's very simple to use. It looks good. I love the ceramic pan. It's easy to clean. It's got a good loud buzzer. It makes good bread. It comes with a spare paddle. The OK bits: It's a generic Chinese brand and can be found under various model names. It looks like spare pans and paddles are available and I THINK it's a Kitfort Kt304 model, although the label says MBF010. If the Kt304 pans are compatible, the pan prices vary but all are way under the cost of replacing a pan on one of the major brands (e.g. Panasonic pans are typically £99!) The not so good bits: It's very easy to accidentally hit the start button when fiddling with the menu settings. It would be better if you had to press and hold the button to start it. The basic bread recipe cooks a bit on the light side, even on the darkest setting. But you can get around this by using the French or Whole Wheat Bread settings, which have a very similar program but cook for 8-10 mins longer. There's no way of programming in your own settings or adjusting the presets. The manual... where do I start?!!! The manual is appalling! Written in very basic Chinglish, full of spelling mistakes and unreadable grammar. And for using the machine it's totally pointless - it's easy enough to figure out how to use the machine without the manual. But the one thing that is going to put people off bread makers, and I've seen this with every bread maker I've owned, is the basic recipes. First of all, this manual doesn't actually have any recipes, except for what they call a "Common formula for Western style bread" and lists flour, milk, eggs, sugar, yeast and butter!! NO!... unless possibly if you're in America, THIS IS NOT A RECIPE FOR WESTERN STYLE BREAD, IT'S A RECIPE FOR CAKE!!! Anyone in the UK or Europe would be far more likely to use Water, Flour, Oil, Sugar, salt and yeast. When will bread maker manufacturers realise this and start producing manuals for the European market?! The fact that the manual is SO bad is the only reason I've knocked off a star. other than that this is a good machine, at a good price, which is capable of making good bread... if you ignore the diabolical manual.

Absolutely AWFUL. It cooks bricks instead of bread. All the recipes are American and need loads of sugar. We DO NOT put TABLESPOONS of sugar into bread in Britain. The machine is also very noisy in action. I bought the machine because it has a ceramic pan and paddle, but this feature does not compensate for the awful bread it bakes. After 20 years using my Panasonic breadmaker and baking loaf after loaf of delightfully different and delicious types of bread, I deeply regret buying the Keepeez breadmaker. It is not fit for my purpose. How do I return it and get my money back?

A brilliant fairly compact machine! it has numerous programmes for baking different types of bread, many of which I'm yet to try out, but the loafs that have been baked so far have tasted amazing, and the texture of the bread created was soft and fluffy. Since setting this up, I haven't had any need to buy bread from a supermarket. It might seem a tad expensive, but it is definitely worth it. It is surprisingly easy to use too, just put in the wet ingredients, the dry, then the yeast, and set it going and 3 hours later, you have freshly baked bread.

Great machine, compact and fits on worktop. Instructions are really straight forward to follow and the timer makes it so easy to just throw the ingredients in before bed and then wake up to fresh bread in the morning. Im no baker and 💯 wouldn't have considered making bread by hand so this is great, it takes all the hassle away and the bread itself is really nice. No more wondering what long term damage the e numbers and preservatives in the processed bread will be doing. Excellent COMPACT machine👍

This bread maker fits comfortably on the kitchen counter, although its slightly on the large side. So if you are not going to use it regularly, it could be inconvenient in a smaller kitchen. The product itself is very easy to use, and the instructions are fairly clear, but you’ll feel a lot more confident after using it at least once. There's a lot of settings, (17!) which covers all the different types of bread you can think of so it's best to just have a go. You basically put all ingredients into the bowl select the size of loaf, how dark you want it, and then away you go. It will mix the ingredients together, let them rest, mix them again, let it prove for awhile, give it a quick mix to knock the air out before letting it prove for a second time and then finally bakes it. The whole process can take a good 3 hours but don’t forget it’s not baking for all that - a lot of that time is rest time while it proves. Obviously trial & error comes into play and you’ll find yourself adapting your recipes here and there but it’s pretty difficult to go wrong. The bread maker produces some fantastic gluten free bread, and the ingredients aren’t as expensive as I first feared. Other than a decent bag of bread flour and a small packet of yeast most of the ingredients will be in the average home anyway. The size of the bread produced is perfect for a day or two, but don't expect it to last the whole week. Everything is easy to clean and prevent any cross contamination for allergies purpose. Overall, this bread maker matches its price point. It performs well, and requires little input after you've placed the ingredients inside. I have found however that it does tend to make quite a heavy dense loaf. For anyone still reading, these are my tips to make a better loaf: First of all, give it longer to prove. When it starts the final proving time, I tend to remove the dough immediately after it’s been knocked back, I remove the paddle, reshape the dough and position it more central in the tin. By hitting the pause button any time during the final proving time, it will pause the process for 10 minutes before continuing automatically so I tend to hit it three times during the final proof to add an extra half hour on. Any ingredients you’re adding (milk, eggs) don’t use them straight from the fridge as they will be stone cold. Either leave the milk out overnight or warm it up for 30 seconds in the microwave just to take the chill off. Finally, a secret ingredient is 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. It doesn’t spoil the flavour and the yeast loves it!

Good results for bread. This machine does not appear to have a "pizza dough" programme, and the uncooked recipe does not work, unless you leave to proof in a warm place, as you would do for a manually-made dough. However, the two main issues I have with this machine are: 1. the instruction booklet. The instructions seem to be badly translated into English, to the point where they make no sense at all. The two booklets give different quantities for seemingly similar recipes. Fortunately, I have been using a bread maker for over 20 years, so I can adapt. 2. The second point is the seed/fruit dispenser. It is not easy to use. What's more, a very tiny spring which operates the closure of the door came undone after the second use, and all the seeds went all over the machine! I had to pull the compartment to pieces, unscrewing the various parts, and place the spring back in with tweezers, then put the seed dispenser back together. This is not a budget breadmaker, and it should not have happened.
