Kenwood BM200 Bread Machine

I never recieved my bread maker kneader and no money has been refunded. I have emailed the seller with no response and it appears that he is now out of business but kept my money!

Very good breadmaker. I have not been disappointed. Has strong metal paddle which is a bonus. A good variety of programmes. Easy to clean. Recommended ***

the breadmaker works perfectly, all the components are steel so is pretty sturdy, the manuals are easy to use and understand and the ingredients are easy to source and cheap to buy, its great having the smell of freshly made bread in the place.

Love this Bread maker, it's now my 3rd now, same model, which is no reflection on it's abilities, just that almost every day I make a loaf, and my 'care' for white goods isn't the best! Makes, lovely jam, dough for pizza, and much more. Includes a 1 hour setting so you can have a super quick loaf, not quite as yummy as the longer setting loafs but great when in a hurry.
Thouroughly recommended!

I love this machine its my very first breadmaker i didnt think for one moment that it would make great bread but i was wrong there is no mixing no kneading basically not very much work. All you need to do is place the ingredients in and set the timer and the machine does all the work for you. I highly rate this machine
Happy baking

This is a capable machine that makes good bread, but has some design faults and reliability issues. We use it twice a week. I've had 2 now. The non-stick on the bread pan only lasts 100 loaves until the dough isn't being mixed up properly and needs stirring in to the doughball. A new pan will cost 1/2 the price of the whole machine. After maybe 200 loaves, if you're lucky, the pan starts popping out of its spring holders. The springs can be re-bent, and the pan stretched a little, to keep the tension high enough, but it doesn't last. If you can check the cycle, it's not the end of the world, but it's hardly convenient any more. The electronics seem to pack up after a few years. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but as my first one cost over £100 and only made 100 loaves before being faulty, that's a quid a loaf just for the use of the machine, and not counting electricity.

This is the first breadmaker I've had and it took 2 or 3 attempts to get the hang of it - the recipes in the book needed adjusting slightly to get the proper loaf shape ie less water and yeast. The wholemeal loaves look and taste better then the white loaves. The reason for buying it is that the price of bread is getting ridiculous plus if you make it yourself you know what goes in it!

I had one of htese but in the end hubby started making it in the oven of our main cooker,, its so much hassle trying to work out a good recipe,, i love fresh bread and would love it every morning,, but in realistic terms this just s not the same, if you don`t miond how your bread is textured then you may find this ok,, but i sold mine ...
