Unique and beautiful looking bread maker.Great performance.

I have had my bread maker for just over a year. I have made about 30+ loaves in all during its life, before it started giving off an electrical burning smell and banging noise. It is a shame because if the breadmaker was more reliable it would have won my accolades over breadmakers I have had in the past. My previous one from gave me over 8 years of service and numerous loaves, but it was not as good as the Silvercreast one.

I have been very pleased with this bread maker having had a moly and a morphs Richards in the past that lasted just over there warranty period. Yes the bread will come out with big holes but by looking at the timing cycle I remove the paddles after the last knead. When washing the pan and paddles make sure the paddle dive pin are free (they can get very stiff due to the baking. Also make sure the holes in the paddles are completely clean of bread, if you don't the paddles do not sit down fully on th spindles and will cause problems. The bread maker has now worn out the bushes in the paddle drives so am waiting for Lidl to have them in again to get a replacement. £35 for 4 years of bread making seems good to me when compared with others

I am very disappointed with this product. I am a vivid home bread baker and was using this machine on regular basis. While it worked it did what it was supposed to do but very soon, under 1 year of use the rotating elements at the bottom of the baking mold wore out. I was not bothered since the bread maker came with 3 years warranty. Yes but no. I called the Kompernass customer service who deal with the warranty issues and they told me that the mold is a wearable part that is not covered by the guarantee. There is an option to purchase a new mold but it will cost 17 euro. What is the point of getting a new mold if it will wear out again. In the long term it would be better to opt for more expensive but good make product that would not have low quality rotating elements. I was also very disappointed with the attitude of the customer service representative.They are based in Germany not in the UK. They request the products purchased in the UK to be sent back to Germany and if their engineers can not find a fault they would charge you. Do not get electric items that do not have after purchase service in the UK

I bought this breadmaker in Lidl and it made good bread for a reasonable length of time. However, the holders for the pedals eventually became loose and fall out when the bucket is lifted. This makes it difficult to lift the bucket with the mixture in it and difficult to position it into the breadmaker. I hate throwing things out that are actually in working order but it seems this is my only choice.

Hi, I purchase a bread maker last year and I find that the bread bucket not durable. The rotating metal worn out and now the pedal unable to rotate. It is a poor bread maker design and worst part is can't find a replacement bucket anywhere.

Having had a Prima Breadmaker for over 20 years, the only problem was trying to find a new belt, I decided with a house move to buy a new breadmaker. Lidl were selling this one, so I decided to buy. The first loaf was perfect and the second. Use good quality flour - I use Wessex Mill, not the cheapest. Good selection of programmes, the tin washes easily. The machine is quiet in operation and the loaf comes out of the tin easily, once you let it cool slightly. I haven't tried the gluten free programme, so cannot comment on that. Only problem is the size of the machine in a small kitchen. However, you could say this about a bread machine in general. Overall, fantastic buy, simple to use, great bread.

Seemed a bit hit or miss, I tried different recipes sometimes they turned out fine other time's the bread would collapse and be a bit solid, particularly wholemeal. Eventually I managed to turn out a reasonable loaf with a bit of experimentation. The first breadmaker lasted about 2 1/2 yrs and then the machine didnt warm up during the 'proving' cycle, I overcame this to some extent by using warm water at the beginning and removing the loaf tin a couple of times to put in a warm place during the kneading cycle. Just bought another machine from Lidl and noticed there is a small modification to the lid so I presumed a few modifications had been made. Unfortunately the new machine does not warm up during the proving cycle and will have to go back.

I have had my machine just under the 3 year guarantee and the element is not warming up,I am starting it with warm water and I only use it to knead so am managing by kneading it in the machine and taking it out to rise. My problem when I contacted them is they want me to send it back to Germany for testing before they will send me a new one. If I do that how long will I have to wait so have decided to buy a new one and write this one off. Had hoped I could return it to a Lidl store and collect a replacement from there but too easy.

Has now made and baked more than 1200 loaves. Now, not so easy to ease loaf from tin and am searching for a replacement. Can anyone help? 5 stars for over ten years of continuous use. Tim Brodrick, Rye

My wife was excited about being able to make gluten free bread for our coeliac daughter. Her excitement turned to extreme disappointment when it was obvious the machine could not produce gluten free bread. It has a special programme, instruction were followed to the letter, and all that came out was an unrisen doughy uncooked lump. We are experienced with bread machines and making gluten free bread in the oven and so it wasn't due to lack of experience! We also agree with the other reviewers that the paddles pretty much mangle the bread (and this would be worse with gluten free bread - had it actually turned out well - which always falls apart more than regular bread). We returned it within the week and LIDL were decent enough to refund without any quibbles

I have had several bread makers in the past. In 2012 I was given this Breadmaker as a gift. I have used it regularly and it has never let me down. Incredible value at £34.99! As good as its more expensive rivals. The only problem I have encountered is that the bread is difficult to take out of the tin without leaving two big holes. I do like others who have written reviews on this site now remove the paddles at the end of the last knead which the machine allows you to do with its pause function.

The machine is good but now I need some new paddles...where can I purchase these as I cannot see anywhere that sells them to fit this machine!!

The best thing about this bread machine is the shape of the tin, the loaf never collapses from rising too much it is a narrow tin and you get a lovely tall loaf. The worst thing is the paddles, they stick to the bread or they stick to the machine leaving two large wholes in the bottom of the loaf and now one of them after less than year is no longer catching the motor drive bit, so it wont kneed the bread until I can find a replacement paddle. The display is a bit hard to read.
