I received one for my Birthday glad I didn’t buy one myself what a pain in the a**e I don’t Recommend buying one the instruction Manual is so badly put together I will be getting rid of it as it won't function as it should will defiantly be buying my bread from my local backers DON’T GET ONE THERE C**P

Very disappointed not used it much in the time of having it and the heater stopped working on it, the company did not want to know about it.

I have had this one for nearly a year, received as a wedding present. We no longer buy bread, and enjoy the easy to use breadmachine and the flexability for creativeness with it! Of chorse, you have that advantage with any breadmaker I suppose.

I have had a problem now and then where the bread pand falls off of the spindle which is annoying. Also the removable kneading part in the breadpan has its non stick coating peeling away which definatly isn't good.

Given the choice now, I would opt for a more expensive bread machine to be sure it was long lasting and check its reviews before buying it.

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.

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.

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.

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 possible to dismantle.

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 phoning. I wouldn't recommend anyone buying this and I will try and find a better one now. Very bad design of breadmaker and instructions are very poor.

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 design looks cheap and tacky, with unnecessary stick on plastic bits and a wobbly lid.

Loaves were OK following minor recipe adjustments, though perhaps a little solid. On 1 out of my 3 loaves the large paddle remained stuck in the loaf, leaving about half of it with a huge hole.

I will probably try one of the highly recommended Panasonics next.
