Reviewed by Enid Stephens on 15/06/2008Last November I bought this bread maker, since when it has proved to be good value for money. The bread it bakes is far better than from the super-market. The only mistake I made is not to buy it sooner. I am delighted with this model,and would recomend it to anyone. Rating:  Reviewed by Margarita on 26/05/2008 We love this bread machine in our family. There's nothing like the smell of a freshly baked loaf of bread to get you out of bed in the morning! But to get the best results you have to be really accurate with the measuring - it's worth using a knife to level off the ingredients before adding them to the baking tin. Then make sure you add the ingredients carefully so that the blade doesn't get knocked over - if in any doubt it's worth checking that the blade is still upright (say, with a clean finger) before switching the machine on. We also find that the bread keeps better than shop bought bread and doesn't go mouldy. Really glad we bought this machine - well worth it! Rating: Reviewed by Duncan on 12/03/2008 I have now owned this breadmaker for over 8 months and baked many loaves. The dropdown blade is an issue - it seems a clever idea but in reality doesn't work when baking, only when adding ingredients. (NB on the rare occasions when it does work, it is very difficult to get the bread out!) Also, where the blade pivots, breadmix tends to get in and make cleaning more difficult. My girlfriend has one of the original morphy richards breadmakers without the dropdown blade and has had no problems at all. I also had a problem with the bread pan, on which the mechanism jammed, i.e. the blade wouldn't rotate at all. Morphy richards did replace this free of charge, but it took over 2 months to arrive! The only positive point I can make is that it is one of the few breadmakers finished in stainless steel, which matches my kitchen! In summary, for a new product it has not proved reliable and so when I replace it, I will be seeking another brand. Rating:  Reviewed by Steve on 25/11/2007 Unlike the previous reviewer, I am very pleased with this breadmaker and have not experienced any problems. The dropdown blade does tend to drop down when you pour flour on top of it, but you just have to push it back up again. I have baked 6 loaves so far and the blade has not once dropped down during baking. Every loaf has been baked perfectly, even the very first. It really is very easy. You just add the ingredients in the order listed, switch it on and press Start. 3 hours later there is a wonderful aroma and a perfectly baked loaf of warm bread waiting to be eaten! The bread is slightly different to shop bread, but I like the texture and flavour very much. It's more like artisan bread in quality. The only thing that detracts from the overall experience is that the mixing blade leaves a small hole at one end of the loaf, but all bread machines are the same. It really doesn't matter. So now we have this machine in our kitchen we won't have to buy bread ever again , and will benefit from much lower salt than commercial bread and no added "gunk" (it's shocking what goes into commercial bread). Oh and it looks great in the kitchen too, with the brushed stainless steel finish. Highly recommended product! Rating: Reviewed by Diyprincess on 05/11/2007 I bought this particular model as I was excited about the idea of the drop down kneading blade. However, I have now had this model for 10 days and baked everyday and not once has the blade dropped down by its own accord. In fact, it seems to drop down only whilst you are adding ingredients and it is a fiddly and messy process trying to lift it up again. Just like other and cheaper models one has to retrieve and pull out the blade after baking, leaving a hole. I was also initially intrigued that the loaf tin seems vertical and not horizontal like most models. However, this does into make the this model smaller than others. I will be returning this breadmaker for one major reason so that each time so far the top of the bread completely caved in and failed to bake properly. I have used a breadmaker from a no name own brand for a third of the price which produced much better and more satisfactory results so I cannot recommend this breadmaker at all! You might as well opt for a really cheap model instead and will get a better result. The drop down kneading paddles do not work at all! Rating:
