Kenwood BM256 Breakmaker September 28, 2008 ovended (Stevenage) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Bought this breadmaker as a replacement for an existing one that had broken. For the price this one is hard to beat. Very versatile, also makes jam and cakes (not tried these yet but am going to - the jam looks very easy and doesn't have too many ingredients either). The bread is really nice - I've made 2 loaves now, both have been excellent. The only downside I can see is that you can't use the 1 hour fast bake programme on timer. It's also a little bit noisy.
Looks great, works great, tastes great. September 5, 2008 S. Page (UK) 17 out of 17 found this review helpful
This looks lovely in stainless steel with a crisp snow white top. LCD display that shows options, time (countdown) and cooking stages. buttons to select things like bread type, size of loaf, crust colour. Had bread makers before but this thing actually works for crust colour without burning the crust. My tip use a little milk as it helps it brown. Surprised to get a measuring jug and a nifty little spoon for dry ingredients that is selectable in size between 1 tablespoon to half a teaspoon (very useful!). Also a single button for a fast baked loaf in under an hour. Also has a timer. Oblong loafs not those weird round ones that some bread makers pop out. Though if you like those maybe for danish bread you can order one seperately. Excellent bread from this thing, hooked on it, best I have had from a bread maker. Not had a loaf where the paddle stuck in it yet which is brilliant. It also makes cakes and jams as well as dough and all manner of loaves, white, french, wholemeal, granary, fruit, sweet, you name it. Very versatile. And also VERY quiet, apart from the beeper which is nice and loud so you dont miss that its finished.
Fantastic buy! May 12, 2008 Nursetabs (U.K) 53 out of 53 found this review helpful
Really pleased with this!!! haven't stopped using it since it arrived!! It looks cool-very retro and is so easy to make bread!! Sometimes the little mixing blade can get a bit stuck in the loaf, but give it a little wiggle and it comes free and considering the gorgeous fresh bread produced, a little hole is nothing!!(I've read this to be a common feature in breadmakers anyway).Also very easy to clean and use.I spent ages trying to decide, and so glad i bought this one!! recommend it!!!!
