    I don't like this Morphy Richards 48280 bread maker. It's poorly designed. Bread container is upright. This machine doesn't provide warm conditions, for dough to rise. So therefore your kitchen needs to be reasonably warm. The instructions aren't that clear. I tried wholemeal bread as advised. The dough almost didn't rise. The crust was too hard and too thick. The bread was very dry. I am getting much better results with bread, when making by hand. I wanted to save some money. But as they say, ...

    I have been using the Morphy Richards 48280 about 4 times a week for the past 6 months. At first I followed recipes in booklet and although most were edible results were very inconsistent even though I am carefull to measure ingredients accurately.
    A 2 lb loaf always seem to collapse just before cycle is finish so I only make 1.5lb now.
    I have had far more success using 500 g bread mixes which I use 250g + 100g of white or wholemeal bread flower and adjust water accordingly.
    II have used this ...

    I bought this Morphy Richards 48280 breadmaker thinking it was going to be great. My first loaf I made was the large 2 pound. At first it started out fine then it started struggling to kneed the dough I wasn't that pleased.
    A few days later I made a medium 1/12 pound loaf it worked fine no struggling so I continued to make the medium loaf.
    Anyway it is easy to use just programm it and leave it but in the end I got fed up with it and gave it to my friend and bought a new one.

    My husband bought me this machine for Christmas. It was used every day from Boxing day onwards and stopped working on 4 January. Not even a full fortnight!My husband never keeps receipts and boxes for stuff so consequently the only avenue of return was to contact Morphy Richards. The silver sticker which was meant to have a serial number on was somehow missing from my machine so they would not replace it.Fortunately it was paid for by credit card and so it is being returned to Argos for a card r ...

    I bought the Morphy Richards 48280 Fastbake Breadmaker for £20 four or five years ago. I used it quite heavily for several months at a time and it always produced good white and 50/50 wholemeal loaves. I also produced good 100% wholemeal bread too, but it took a little tweaking from their recipe. I have also had owned a few cheap breadmakers and I don't think this is any better at producing loaves but has lasted longer than the cheap Cookworks model. I also had a Snieder (not sure if the ...

    the Morphy Richards 48280 bread maker basically does exactly as it says on the box - it makes bread without you having to do any hard work - perfect!

    This Morphy Richards 48280 broke down after 6 months use. Breadpan stuck in the machine. Noisy, difficult to remove spatula from bread.

    Never had a bread maker before we got our Morphy Richards one so no comparison. Only had this one 5 weeks. I have found it okay up to now, however, as suggested it is necessary to keep adjusting recipes when different flour types used. Never had a loaf that has not been edible.

    Good if you make a loaf once a week. Bad if you make one every day. From my experience the moving parts are just not robust enough and spares are far too expensive to make buying them a sensible option.

    I applied penetrating oil to the spindleof my Morphy Richards 48280 in an attempt to free the spindle but it soaked straight through without any result. So I put a tissue inside the pan around the spindle and soaked this with penetrating oil 3 or 4 times a day. After a few days - finally success! The spindle reluctantly turned and then freed up quite quickly. I have yet to see if any remains of the penetrating oil in the spindle taints the bread!

    Tried very hard to bake a good loaf and failed on many tries. Loaves were small and flat, very displeased.

    It is easy to use and makes good bread. It can some times struggle to knead the dough. I think it is a good machine and makes tasty bread for all of are family.

    Like the bread but would prefer a loaf without a chunk taken out of the bottom.

    The Morphy Richards 48280 Breadmaker makes lovely bread and so easy to use although it is sometimes difficult to remove the paddle from the loaf tin.

    Although the machine broke after I had owned it for 3 years, I cannot really complain. Within this period I used it for continuous periods of 6 months, 6 months and then 2 months. Considering it is designed for domestic use and cost less that £40, I thought this was reasonably good value. Eventually, the spindle at the base of the bread tin seized. I quite easily found a replacement tin on espares.com for about £18 inc. delivery. With the replacement, I am looking forward to another ...

    I replaced my first one as the non-stick coating peeled off within four months. I was extremely carefully with the replacement, oiling it before every use. It lasted just over a week before the coating started to wear off, causing the ingredients to stick to the pan which produced very odd swirly patterning on the loaves. I am getting a full refund on it tomorrow and investing it in a better quality machine.

    On loaf number 4 the blade seemed to have a problem turning, and then the motor started making a clonking noise.

    I returned the Morphy Richards 48280 breadmaker to the shop today, and I got a replacement. I tried making some dough (not even baking anything), and when I turned out the dough the fixed part of the rotor blade underneath fell off. It had been welded to the bucket, but the metal to metal bond failed totally. I will return again tomorrow (if they believe me). I am undecided what t ...

    For the price I can't believe how good this Morphy Richards 48280 machine is. I had previously used a Panasonic which I found the results to be very hit and miss but with this one it's been great, everything we've made has been perfect. I would advise that you buy another recipe book specifically for bread machines as the insistence that you use their own measuring tools or else attitude of the Morphy Richards book is a pain. The one I use every time is Fresh Bread in the Morning by Annette Y ...
