Recommend bread maker

We have a breville gourmet baker currently but the wholemeal setting is no longer working. Can still use the white loaf setting so currently doing my medium wholemeal loaf on a large white loaf setting to get maximum time. Working ok but guessing I'll need to replace at some point. Those who have bread maker with collapsible blades, how well does that work out, currently I remove the blade at end of kneading if I'm in kitchen at that point.

Also if you have an electric meat/bread slicer what brand and how well does it work. Thanks

After having most brands of Breadmakers over 25yrs I finally bought a Panasonic and would never buy any other brand now. Best one I have ever had.

I have had a panasonic SD2501 for some time now and find it brilliant. It makes great wholemeal bread.

I bought a Panasonic breadmaker SD-BT10P about 1997, and it was secondhand then! Just over 22 years later, it's had a couple of parts replaced over the years, but still works faithfully. Makes a small loaf, and great for pizza dough and dough for croissants as well. I've sure had great value for the $10 it cost me back then!

A couple of years ago I bought a huge Breville BBM600 from a local op shop for $12, one you can add the fruit or nuts part way through, and it's going very well, too. With my hands so weak now, this handles the big mixes, and I cheat on using the Ruth Pretty (apple ferment) Sourdough recipe on the "dough" cycle, then do the last rolling and rising myself, before baking in the oven. Kinda like having your cake,...sorry, bread and eating it too! Oh, and those loaves are getting pretty darn good, too..... the flavour is superb, and the Ruth Pretty cooking method has given me the perfect chewy crust, wonderful fresh or toasted. This was the last batch, 2 decent-sized loaves (29th Aug)....

The great thing about buying a second hand one - they have to be electrically checked and working now, the price is right, and most manuals are still downloadable years later.... darned if I'd be paying $200 - $500 should I ever need a new one, when there's shelves of them in op shops...

Spend your savings of luxury food items, and other good kitchen equipment, I say !

I have a Sunbeam, the one with the long pan, I don't like the ones that make a stumpy tall loaf.
Works brilliantly.
