I buy from LIDL this machine about 3 years ago. In the first month, axes of the two blades are out of their habitation.There is a teflon seal (or should be) and now is broken. So, my only chance is to buy a pan (but is impossible to find) or to buy a new machine, and this is not a choice. So....better other brand. (read more)

It's so much easier than making bread yourself. My machine was made by Silver Reed and produces a perfect loaf every time. Stick rigidly to the recipe book quantities at first, then try experimenting. I like the programme 3 whole grain recipe best. I use Lidl's white bread flour and Alinson's wholemeal flour to produce a really tasty loaf. I am now starting to substitute olive oil for butter, otherwise I stick to the recipe. I remove the paddles at the start of the second rise and end up... (read more)

The KH1171 could be a fantastic product, but it has a huge problem. During the mixing phase the two paddles move up, so the short key of the pivot pin doesn't catch the paddle. After short time you can see a dark dust (metal) in the bread.
I've already replaced many paddles but obviously the problem is still present. I wrote to the Komparnass web site but nobody answer me, and the after sales service push me to buy other paddles.
It's useless! There is a design problem.

Re: Bifinett KH 1171 breadmaker
I have only had this machine for under 2 weeks and have owned a bread machine in the past. I had a bit of trepidation before buying this due to my experiences with my first breadmaker. However, since I have owned other Bifinett products, I DO appreciate the 3 year guarantee AND the very efficient service that I've always received in the past, thus decided to take the risk.
I have to say that I am very impressed. I have baked 3 loaves so far and all have been...

I absolutely agree with you. I am delighted with the results of my Silvercrest breadmaker bought at Lidl. I used to bake bread in my Russell Hobbs 17887 machine but although an expensive machine it did not produce good results. The paddles got stuck in the bread every time and it was a nightmare trying to get the loaf out of the tin. It was always a most frustrating experience. Then I bought a bread machine at Lidl. It is so much easier to use. Because the way the machine is programmed it allows you to remove the paddles before the final rise of the loaf so that there are just two tiny holes where the spindles are and the loaf comes out of the tin with ease every time. The bread is well shaped and delicious to taste. I find the best results are those for the Kenwood bread makers which are available on line. The results are perfect every time.
In my opinion, the Lidl's bread machine is far superior to the Russell Hobbs 17887 which is so much more expensive.
