Panasonic, we've had ours for +15 years and it is still going strong and making delicious bread.

We've got a Panasonic too, although it's been gathering dust in the back of a cupboard somewhere lately.

We've got the one with the nut and dried fruit dispenser, it makes the most gorgeous raisin and cinnamon loaf - we were getting through a loaf a day last Christmas - and it makes the house smell amazing.

What kind of budget do you have to spend? My hubby brought me this lovely bread maker about 2 years ago and it's fantastic.

Panasonic if you don't want to be disappointed.

Only the Panasonic. Don't go near any others.

Ours is amazing!

Panasonic!!!

I have had a Panasonic bread machine for ages and haven't had much success with my bread making. Anyone who loves their machine, could you share your recipes please? Dh likes a well baked, crusty loaf.

I've got a kenwood bm350 and it's good, has lasted about ten years and still makes perfect bread. Is a bit noisy when kneading though (not sure how noisy they usually are?!)
