Is there a mixer £100 or under that can mix dough?

I've been making bread for a while now completely by hand. I'd like a mixer to do the first stages of mixing but I'm on a tight budget.
There are loads on Amazon claiming to handle bread but the reviews I've read aren't good.
Can anyone recommend on they've used?
Thanks

Check your local Facebook marketplace, eBay, and Aldi.

Could you get a bread maker and just use the dough setting?

Shinygoldbauble · 15/11/2020 21:05

Both good ideas, thanks.
Not much happening on my local selling pages at the moment but I'll keep an eye out.

I’ve been making bread for the last 2 years regularly using an Andrew James 5.2l mixer, but there don’t seem to be any of those around now. I couldn’t manage to make as much bread as I do without it, however it does make a racket. We call it the ‘dying cat machine,’ as that’s what it sounds like when it’s going.

We have a hand mixer that has whisk attachments but also dough hooks. Obviously you would still have to stand there holding it but it might be an option.

I use our bread maker to make pizza dough, it's brilliant.

Just get a cheap bread maker off Facebook and use the dough facility. Then bake in the oven. You can shape however you like or make rolls etc. Much nicer than baked in the machine.
I bought my last BM off fb for £30 just before lockdown, it's really great. Lots of great homemade bread groups on fb. Tons of really helpful advice and recipes.

I have a £300 mixer which is very heavy and has a dough hook. However it's still better kneading by hand annoyingly.

Kneading by hand is quicker/easier IMO if you take into account getting out and washing up of equipment.
