We've had our Morphy-Richards FastBake breadmaker for three years. After about a month the spindle refused to turn. Morphy-Richards told us it was the way we'd washed it! Nonsense! However, they sent a new one under guarantee. Like many other people we didn't like the large hole in the bottom of the bread, so now we just use it to make the dough, let it rise in the machine, then tip it out and put in a proper bread tin. After 45 minutes in the airing cupboard it's ready to go in the proper oven. First class results every time! don't like M-R's recipe though, we leave out sunflower oil, using butter instead. The same for the milk powder. Why use that when real milk's cheaper! Now, like many other people, the paddle spindel is acting up again. But why do we have to buy a new bucket when all you want is a couple of bushes? Puzzled, in Norfolk!
