I second *Bob*'s recommendation; we've had a panasonic sd255 for about 6 months and haven't bought bread, bread rolls or pizza bases during that time. It's extremely easy to use, in fact we probably don't get the best out of it as do tend to stick to the same old recipes (wholemeal bread/bread rolls). Flour, yeast etc can all be bought in SMBS foods - the dove farms organic range is the best flour we've found.


The machine is quite large and heavy so does take up a fair bit of bench space when in use (3-4 times a week); but this is easily sorted if you've got a cupboard to store it in when not making bread.

I read somewhere the smoothie makers were the appliance most likely to never be used. Although I use mine quite a lot. Not for smoothies however more for soup and curry and stuff like that.


I quite like the idea of making my own bread. Not sure I would stick with it though so I may as well cut my cost and just get a bread tin.

or my Panasonic SD253.


I have to make my own bread in order to have half a chance keeping my salt intake under 3.0g a day for health reasons. The SD253 is brilliant. Throw everything and walk away - never had a bad loaf and it's used almost daily. I got the SD253 because it automatically adds the nuts/dry fruit etc at the right point in the cycle & has a good timer length (up to 13 hours on some programs). The Panasonic bread makers always rank highly in the Which reviews. Got mine off ebay for ?52 inc. P&P. It was cheap because it didnt have the manual (down loaded that off the web) and the measurment utensils/jug were missing (easily bought in Woolies for a couple of quid). The actual breadmaker was brand new and came with a 6 mnth guarantee.


Yes I could make the bread by hand but I'd rather be spending my time doing more interesting/important things and let the SD253 do it for me.

      Half my family are medics, going back generations, and none of them would ever have gone, or would now go, on strike. I know times have changed, but my family knew what they were signing up for, and accepted the detriment to their families and the hours (which, in the junior years, were way longer when they are now)... because it was not only a vocation, but a stable career for life. And they felt a genuine duty of care to their patients, whom they often put before their own children.  I can only conclude that entry-level junior doctors are more entitled these days. Plus, it's insensitive to nurses, who really do deserve a lot more money and recognition.  There are issues other than pay, like the lack of available posts, and having to move around the country, but they can be improved without a strike.  I don't think the right people are being recruited into the profession anymore. We're all on lower wages and paying more tax than we were ten years ago, but many of us just have to suck it up, work our socks off and get on with it.

      Beglfire I start, I have a lot of respect for Doctors and owe my life to them after various mishaps over the years.  I am however getting a jaded view of them continuing to run the strike ballot next week in the middle of what is turning into a bad winter for the NHS. Of course they may vote to not strike, but personally feel it is irresponsible timing to consider it as hospitals are already struggling.  Today the BMA warned of scaremongering over the current flu outbreak (BBC News - BMA warns of flu 'scaremongering' ahead of doctor strikes - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y22yzl6y6o) but just seeing how many people I know are going down with it, that feels like poor spin by the BMA. How do others feel ?

      We have also used Niko the plumber, he was great, fixed both of our leaking toilets and was also super helpful with advice about the shower leaking.
