    I have inherited this machine - and it came without a manual, so I am working blind and largely by experiment. I have always handmade my bread before, using an Aga, so the idea of using quick acting yeast instead of ordinary dried yeast is new to me. I have made several loaves which have collapsed at the top, although the rest of the loaf and its texture seem fine. Is there a rule which says you should not open the lid whilst it's working? I would be grateful for some tips please!
    I find the whole thing a bit large and clumsy, but it is nice not to have to hand-knead the loaf in the early stages.

    Easy to use but indifferent results.Base of loaf always heavy and over-browned.top of loaf light and fluffy,like two totally different loaves. Tried different flours yeasts etc., similar results. Throw away bottom half of loaf and eat the top half!

    Nice little machine the Morphy Richards 48268, but big drawback is the small loaf size. 1.5 pound loaf is the largest.
    The mixing paddle is the devil to remove from the bottom of the loaf finally leaving a paddle shape hole into the first, second and third slice.
    My machine burns the base and outside of the loaf for about one inch up.
    Have to say though, I'll never go back to supermarket bread again.
    Bread never tasted so good.

    Any one could use the Morphy Richards 48268 Breadmaker.
    Programs from onr hour fifteen to just over three hours depending on what bread you make.
    Made excelent pizza dough.
    The instruction book provides many recepie ideas which are easy to follow. No hassel with this machine. Easy to follow instrutions and lots of different programms to use all of which have not let me down.

    Well, having read some of the other comments of this Morphy Richards 48268 breadmaker, it doesn't sound like I'm describing the same machine. Works flawlessly and produces delicious bread. Makes about as much noise as a dishwasher for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. I found it very easy to get the bread out of the pan. Usually the paddle stayed in the pan, but sometimes sticks in the bread. Not hard to get out though, and only leaves a small hole. I was careful to follow the instructions about seaso ...

    I spoke to Morphy Richards about the pan issue on the 48268 who advised me that the pan is meant to jump out? What nonsense, if you don't re-insert the pan the machine makes a terrible noise and churns the pan around the interior. For this reason, I would not recommend this machine.

    When I decided to buy a Morphy Richards 48268 Breadmaker I thought it would be hard to use, but its so easy. Step by step instructions and you just punch in your choices using the menu button. Makes great bread and loafs in under three hours. Best thing I ever bought.

    I'm very satisfied with my morphy richards breadmaker. Easy to use, the controls were in English, reasonably quiet in operation. Produced very good results.

    Broke after 2 months of use - no spare parts available. The problem is with the spindle in the loaf tin which holds the kneading paddle inside the tin, and on the outside connects with the drive mechanism of the machine itself. The spindle appears to be very prone to seizing up, and without warning, so that the kneading paddle cannot be turned when the machine is operational. It is also not easy to clear the seizure because of the construction of the pan and the spindle mechanism which is not po ...

    Very noisy when operating
    Kneader brakes,leaving bits in the bread
    Leaves a huge hole in the bread, so most of it is wasted
    Does not look like a loaf - have bought a much cheaper breadmaker which produces loaves that look like a loaves of bread, yippee!
    Poor and very uninterested aftercare, who say it has been scientifically tested

    This is the second Morphy Richards breadmaker (same model) in the last year. The same problem with this one is that the pan jumps out in the middle of the mixing so the mixture doesn't mix and the loaf stays flat. Also the paddle is a terrible fiddle to get out of the bread and is done with great difficulty and leaves a huge hole in the middle of the bread. Phoned the Helpdesk at Morphy Richards to explain but woman kept insisting the pan is meant to jump out and it was a complete waste of time ...

    Instructions Manual needs to be updated. Recipes are not correct. Notwithstanding dosage units usage is explained bread making explanation needs improvements i.e. what is the role of each ingredient in each recipe. Bread recipe website for guidance on using the machine would be helpful as well as some FAQ about bread making. Think global not local.

    Without instructions in French or in English, how can I make bread?

    The MorphyRichards 48268 is a rubbish breadmaker - avoid this one! I bought one a week ago, have attempted to make 3 loaves and I am taking it back to the shop today.

    The paddle, which is supposed to stay vertical for the mixing cycle, falls down unless you wedge it with a knob of butter. The baking tin is very difficult to insert or remove without some sort of culinary Heimlich maneuver and the tin handle bent the first time I used it.

    It is very large, bordering on bulbous and the desi ...

    The Morphy Richards 48268 bread maker looks good and it is fairly compact. Our first loaf was a success!! We were slightly concerned it might take a while to make a decent loaf, but we had no problems at all.

    It would have been helpful if the instructions had stated that you must remove the tin and cool after preparing the machine, and before trying to bake the first loaf.

    Having only had MorphyRichards 48268 machine since December 2004 and had a continuos problem of the pan jumping off it's location for the last 8 weeks, Morphy Richards have not given me a satisfactory explanation for this problem. I cannot think of any reason to recommend this product.

    The MorphyRichards 48268 is my first breadmaker and I'm thrilled to bits with the excellent results. I particularly like the vertical tin as this allows you to make a 1lb loaf (most are min 1.5lb) and still retain a full size slice, this was an important factor for choosing this make/model. I like the very modern, stylish stainless steel casing. I've tried all different types of flours, with and without sugar, using extra virgin olive oil - all have come out great - brilliant machine!
