We bought this model new to replace a Hinari breadmaker that performed regularly and well for nearly 5 years (then the tin seal went). When unpacked, we liked the overall appearance - but would have prefered a slightly larger, brighter digital setting screen. It otherwise seemed a pretty basic machine - with the usual baking accessories. But the baking tin clips onto the drive at the base (like the Hinari had) and we prefer this to the metal top clips on some manuacturers models. It also has a novel paddle - which flips the dough up at the end of mixing and drops flat - leaving just a small hole in the bread base. The baking tin is square, but deeper than some. Our first attempt at making a basic white loaf, following exactly the recipe, went smoothly. But although the loaf rose perfectly, and had a lovely light texture, it was a little too sweet and the crust a darker shade - but edible. So, after a little experimenting we sorted out an acceptable level and my wife now bakes lovely part brown loaves roughly every other day. The loaves keep coming perfectly - amazing value! Don't forget to smear a little Sunflower oil around the baking tin and on the paddle and a tiny drip in the paddel swivel junction. One last tip - let the tin cool after turning bread out, then put a little warm water inside base and leave a few minutes. Then lightly hold the underside drive bar, raise the paddle inside the tin and gently waggle to release - wash out any baked on bread mix with hot water. Rinse inside tin with hot water and paddle, then dry and wipe with oil ready for the next loaf. We find our tin cleans up without washing fluids and without scrubbing.

I've had mine for a couple of months now. I bought a cheap one because I wasn't sure how much use it would get. I was pleasantly suprised - perfect bread every time (there are a few good recipes in the handbook). It gets used every day and I wouldn't bother with bought bread any more if you paid me. Don't be tempted to scrub the tin - I put a tiny scratch in mine. If you don't use too much grease then the bread leaves hardly any residue when you remove it. Warm water and a quick wipe do the trick for cleaning if you remember that. The hole in the bread issue isn't too bad - much better than what I've seen from my mates (very expensive) machine.
Buy one and have fun!

Bought myself this breadmaker after reading the rave reviews. I am really enjoying using it. It wasn't too expensive and the bread it makes is of really good quality. I always make wholemeal bread, so haven't used the delay setting much as the booklet says that the wholemeal product isn't so good on delay. Fair enough. One caveat. I am 5'2" tall. The control panel is on the top of the machine, and I cannot see the controls clearly when the machine is on the kitchen bench. Now that I've used the machine a number of times, I'm pretty OK with this, but it was a problem at first. The LCD display doesn't light up, so I was climbing on a stool for a good view of what I was doing. I see that there's a 2lb loaf model with the controls on the front so maybe other people have had my problem. It's probably a bigger machine, but if you are vertically challenged, it might be a better option.

This is the first breadmaker that I have purchased. It has a nice compact size suitable for a small kitchen.I have so far cooked 4 different types of bread and they were perfect and delicious each time. The only drawback is that the kneading blade gets stuck inside the loaf and removing it can leave a gap but otherwise ot is a perfect breadmaker.

I have had one of these for nearly three years and it is used every weekend for a loaf and dough marathon !! I had three other brands before this, two went back faulty within three months and the other couldn't bake bread to save its life!! Also, all of these three were more expensive so don't be put off by the Morphy Richards price. I have found this machine to be reliable and good value for money as well as baking some of the better loaves that other machines could not come anywhere near. The only drawback, as with most of these machines, is removing the mixing blade from the cooked loaf as it does tend to leave a rather big hole!!
