Bread maker.

Any suggestions please for a bread maker that will make a decent loaf for a family of four. Easy to use, not mega bucks like the sage one. Just a good old reliable worker. Thank you and Merry Christmas :)

Panasonic are pretty reliable.

I’d agree with the Panasonic comment. Mines a good 12yrs old and still going strong.

Panasonic. Theres a Facebook group full of recipes and recommendations. But a basic model will be fine.

Another panasonic fan. The model numbers have probably changed since I got mine but get one with a timed seed/ sultana dispenser. Some of them have a separate container for yeast but I have never felt I needed that

I would go for the cheapest full-size model with a raisin dispenser, I think that's the SDR2530WXC. Or similar one if you prefer black or silver. If you are on a budget check your Facebook local marketplace as people often pass them on. Previous models like SD-2501 were very good.

According to FB the current models have a mistake in the wholemeal recipe but corrected ones are available. https://www.facebook.com/groups/27195827990016598/?ref=share

Mine is an SD2501

We have the Panasonic SD YR2550 and it’s amazing. We make the rapid loaf (2 hours) 2-3 times a week for our family of 4. The pizza and focaccia recipes are fab too.

Panasonic owner here bought on fb marketplace for a tenner or not much more donkey’s years ago. It’s SD253 iirc, might be old but makes cracking bread.
FB group is awesome for recipes and advice
