Great compact machine that produces lovely bread. The only negative point is that there is only basic recipes in the booklet that was included with the machine. Other than that I’m very pleased with it.
Only criticism is its a little heavy for the elderly to move but put that aside my dear mother love to try different bread and cake recipes she had no idea you can make yogurt in it as well .
I bought mine cheaper from Amazon, probably a return. It’s great, works perfect and you can download the manual and buy the measuring jug and spoon from Amazon.
A budget buy but good value makes 700 gms (1.5lbs) and 1000 gms (2lbs) loaves. Recipe book ok but plenty of recipes on the internet. All loaves made so far (3) and also a fruit loaf have come out well.
Easy instructions, easy to use make a lovely loaf. Not tried cakes yet but sure it will be perfect . Easy clean. Simples
Fantastic bread maker easy to use great results every time.The bread tastes great only made the sugar free at the moment from the recipe book that comes with the bread maker.I made some low carb bread from a recipe off you tube but it tastes nasty so made sugar free and its lovely.
Does what it says on the tin. Really easy to use and produces great loafs of bread. Works well with the packet mixes.
It does what its supposed to do. Nice textured bread.
i brought this bread marker for my mum becasuse the old bread marker broken and I saw the bread marker and its vaule for money and i made bread it was very good flavour and easy to clean and i would recommond the bread marker to friends and family by Catherine McDonald
I like the bread maker machine. But I think need more information how to put all the accessories
The basin is just right for a family of two, my gripe is that the instructions are appalling, the instructions do not really give you any sort of proper guide on the programs the symbols are misleading, the finished bread is ok
We started making bread during lockdown with mixed results. Had loads of flour left where we’d given up so bought this so that it didn’t go to waste. Wish we’d bought it sooner. So easy to use and bread is perfect every time. Bought a cook book as well and are working our way through the recipes. There are recipes in the instruction booklet but haven’t tried those yet. Read instructions as it’s important to know what NOT to do. Have recommended to a friend it’s that good.
Great breadmaker. Can’t think of any faults at the moment. I’ve had it a few weeks and made half a dozen white loaves. All turned out well. Very happy.
1st timer at baking bread. 2 minutes to clean up if that. Looked at 1st recipe in book which was for white bread (theres a number of recipes) and worked perfectly 1st time and every time. Baked about 8 so far. Added onion and garlic flakes in too. Also added cheese but i need to fine tune that as it sinks a little bit on top but not much. Ready to venture into other recipes! Also, with that 1st recipe, when i switch the maker on, its on settings id want anyway so just have to press start n off it goes through the mixing process then bakes. Couldn’t smell the bread on 1st bake but now it wafts through the house
I could not wait to get this out of the box, The instruction booklet contains basic recipes for all the machines auto programs, which help make the machine very easy to use.
I have included photos of the very first loaf that I made. The recipe I found on the internet for a spiced fruit loaf, I think it turned out very well and it tasted great.
I have since made standard white loaves, and also multi grain loaves, which also turned out really well.
I would highly recommend this bread machine to anyone looking to buy one.
I have only made bread at the moment, it was great better than making it by hand.
I can’t wait to try the other functions out, hoping it is has good as the bread.
This is well designed with some nice features, like the way the bin secures into the unit, lower it in and a simple twist. I Like the seed dispenser.
The other good thing is the kneading does not cause the unit to move its way around the worktop as the previous one did.
Got it as a Christmas gift. It works like a dream! Fantastic machine. 101% recommended!
This is my first Tower product and I am so pleased . What a great price and the quality also great. Have made two loaves of bread today and they’ve turned out lovely. Easy to use machine, highly recommend
Bought this to make machine sourdough from the point of adding in the starter with ingredients to finish. Haven’t been disappointed.
I use a recipe online from Mygreekdish that doesn’t use added yeast and it always turns out fantastically.
Very pleased with the machine.
Since getting it I have made a few loaves and as long as you are precise with the weights and measures it makes a good tasty loaf
Very easy to use, but I have had one before and they can take a few tries to get the hang of them.
Don’t know much about it, I’ve tasted what my old man has cooked in it from naan breads, pizza and nice fresh bread he’s a fussy man but likes this so you should probably just buy this bread maker it’s cheap and cheerful for what it is.
Quite a big machine is the first thing you notice , nothing wrong with that. Comes with a recipe booklet and a small measuring cup and spoon.
Very easy to negotiate around the machine , be careful not to accidentally touch the delay button it stops you using the machine for about 20 minutes (you have to unplug the machine).
Making a loaf is quite satisfying the largest is 1000 grams , so you use the machine a lot if you want fresh bread all the time. I tend to use the number 1 setting for a soft bread takes just over 3 hours the mixing stage is a little noisy but that doesn’t last too long. Try to use recipes that cater for the machine trying to make a loaf that is too large doesn’t mix properly and the machine will struggle.
Made sourdough which was very nice and I haven’t used it to it’s full potential.
The lid I feel is a bit flimsy and the viewing panel fogs a bit . There is a light inside that helps you check on the progress of your bake. The control panel lets you know what stage of the bread you are on. I am very happy with this machine and use it three times a week. It comes with a nut and seed dispenser which fits in the lid.
The bread is very moist and tasty and it gives you options to expand your repitoire , my next project will be a cinnamon fruit loaf.
On the whole I think this is a good value versatile machine I am very happy with my purchase.
I am very pleased with this bread maker makes great bread easy to use and easy to clea
Brilliant, easy to use.
Just pop in the ingredients and leave it to do the rest.
Best Buy.. and would definitely recommend
So far good results and easy to use and clea
instruction booklet/recipes below standard. needs fuller explanations, better detailed recipes
I received this as a gift and have really enjoyed making fresh loaves which you can smell through the house. I am not in the kitchen much and was worried at first if i would fail but they have turned out perfect and so far haven’t had the paddle stuck in the loaf.
Looks good on the worktop too.
Look forward to experimenting more with this new gadget.
i bought this breadmaker on a whim as not being near the shops i missed the taste and freshness of newly baked bread but could not make my own due to arthritic hands, and i am so delighted that i did.
the large parcel arrived very quickly and was very well packaged at the same time that i had ordered some bread mixes and i am thrilled to bits at how easy it is to use. my married son was so impressed that he has now bought a similar Tower breadmaker, albeit a more expensive one than mine, and is just as pleased as i am with the results.
so we are all enjoying delicious home baked bread again thanks to Tower.
I’ve had a bead maker in the past so fortunately had some good recipes .
Have had consistent results so far .
However the recipes in the booklet are very poor indeed .
Put the ingredients in and press a button. It’s that easy and the bread is fine.
While this is really easy to use and makes a great loaf of bread, the first bead and the seed release are both incredibly noisy.
It is a good breadmaker but just falls short for me as it does not get the top crust hard enough as my previous breadmaker did. The top tends to crumble when being sliced.
I’m very happy with this breadmaker. The loaf is nice and evenly mixed and cooked. It’s a better result than the cheaper one we had previously. So far all the recipes work well but I haven’t tried every one
I now begrudge buying supermarket bread, because I know what ingredients go into my own bread. Well recommended.
It suggests I should mention flavour, but surely that is down to your personal taste of ingredients.
Good design which fits neatly on my kitchen surface. Easy to use and produces consistently good loaves even for a complete novice like me. A good price too.
Great bread maker for the money, had perfect results every time
I actually purchased this for some ones birthday present…so all I can say was they was highly delighted with it.
The machine is fairly easy to use and bakes evenly and consistently. We have had an older machine in the past, which ‘died’, and this has lived up to expectations. If you are buying this as a first-time breadmaker, I would recommend a book on general breadmaking machines with recipes, as this doesn’t give much information on different recipes and ingredients. Overall we are well pleased with it’s performance.
Very good value for money. Makes lovely bread. Use the machine most days. Excelle
White bread recipes ok but multi grain came out like a brick. Even used a recipe from my old morphy Richard machine. I added a vitamin c tablet as well to no avail. I used to sell flour and attended Bristol uni for a bakery course so I like to think I know flour and baking but I will have to keep trying different levels of yeast etc to try and get a decent loaf.
Could be beginners luck but my first load turned out beautifully. Very impressed – took a bit of thinking to get the bread basket out for putting ingredients in – this could have been detailed in the instructions but was not in there – you have to twist the basket clockwise to pull out and when fitting back in counterclockwise until it fixes in its dock
But this looks great and bakes great so
I’m very happy with my purchase
Took a few go’s to get the bread to a level of looking and tasting ok. First loaf was a brick but it now gives us bread of a high standard
This is a quality, lovely looking machine and seems very well built. I’ve made a couple of loaves which worked out well. However I took the advice of others and bought a separate recipe book “Brilliant Breadmaking in your Bread Machine” available on Amazon for around 5. A winning combination!
Great maker! The bread was ‘acceptable’ for a first try but I’ll be inclined to get some recipes elsewhere as the ones in the book don’t make any sense! I measured all the ingredients out for a 1lb loaf as per the instructions then when I turned the machine on discovered there’s no 1lb setting there’s only 1.5 or 2 yet ALL of the recipes give a 1lb measurement. Also there seems to be two recipe parts but say for instance French Bread, one section says butter the other doesn’t so it’s very confusing!
I have used the tower bread-machine pr making various breads, we regularly make yogurt, as in – we don’t buy it anymore, and making different jams.
The bread function 4 (french bread) is amazing and i generally make two breads per week, but make them either 500gr or 750gr – it is a personal preference concerning mainly the shape, not the quality (see picture). Ive also tried overnight sourdough using the timer so the bread is ready first thing in the morning and the machine works like a charm. There is nothing like waking up to the smell of fresh, crunchy sourdough bread.
The yogurt program is very good! It is about 8h so if you put your milk + bacteria culture ( I buy my own culture, then once i like the yogurt, I use a spoon of that yogurt for my next batch) last thin before bedtime, the yogurt will be done by morning. If you want o have thick yogurt, make sure to buy 4%+ fresh milk and you will end up with an amazing, sour and thick yogurt.
I have also tried jam – fantastic! You can have amazing jam from whatever fruits you want within 1h.
All programs are very quick to use, a bread will take you between 3-5 mins to make.. if not less..
cleaning.. its practically clean by the time the bread is removed. Sometimes there isn’t much more than a wipe needed.
Although quite bulky, it is a Very, very useful machine that has earned its space on the kitchen top.
I had this bread maker because I wanted to make Gluten free bread, rather than pay a load of money for a small loaf. It is a very easy to use machine and the bread has turned out very well.
Great bread maker at a good affordable price, makes a decent size loaf and very easy to clean after use, it’s also so easy to use including other types of bread and obviously the smell of fresh bread can’t be beate
Not only been using the basic programs on the machine but bought a book on breadmaking in your bread machine.
Everything has worked really well and I am now working my way through the recipes.
Hubby is getting fat though!
I was happy when I unwrapped the item, it looks good. Easy to use and bread baked well with little effort.
Lovely to be able to produce fresh warm loaves of bread – great in lockdown!
Really good fryer. Much quicker than oil frying and easy to use.
Has a large capacity too
The only slip up was with the instructions for a 1lb loaf as I did not change the loaf size setting as mentioned in the full instructions and it cooked as if it was a 2lb loaf. All was well though and it tasted delicious. The loaf came out of the tin easily so the non stick works well. The paddle came out of the loaf without a problem (with the supplied hook).
I’m very pleased and look forward to experimenting.
Oh gosh! I am so very chuffed with this bread maker. My step-Dad gave me a bread maker a while ago, he gad paid over a 100 for it but it was rubbish! Now I have this new one costing less than 50 and I am thrilled with it. The bread that it makes is scrumptious. We recommend this bread maker to anyone. Great value.
I’ve always made my own bread, but because I don’t have much time now thought (with a degree of scepticism) that a bread maker MIGHT do the job. Well I’ve been won over, because the results are surprisingly good. This machine is certainly easy enough to operate, though the menus do need you to read the manual (always a problem for a bloke). One loaf made, and now energised to try the other recipes.
It’s the only Bread Machine that I’ve used, so my review dose not compare it with others.
I’ve used the mix bread packs and it does make lovely bread. The loafs are not big, so if you have a big family, you may want to consider the size of what you need, but saying that, fresh bread is nicer on the day of baking! and this machine is so easy that you could make a fresh loaf every day!
I’m happy with my purchase.
I lost the instructions for the machine and the suppliers were extremely friendly and helpful! I’m so happy that I bought this bread machine!
Easy to use ok you have to go by trial and error to get the right kind of loaf you want. Make a few notes and it will all fall into place. Fruit loaves are amazing using mixed dried fruit with sultanas. Flour is the key don’t attempt it with basic flour. I tried and it ended up inside local birds! Looks like a long term friendship with this machine and no more supermarket bread!
Happy Christmas to me from me.
PS January 2021. The breadmaker continues to perform well and I realised that this machine has been a great comfort during the pandemic and lockdown(s). The smell of baking bread and cakes is heart-warming and as time progresses I have risked the odd experiment with recipes. The non-stick surface on the paddle started to wear off after a few months and Customer Services were very helpful at sending a replacement part. I am kicking myself for not taking advantage of the extra guarantee I could have had if I’d registered the product as soon as I bought it. if you’re going to buy it, make sure to boost the guarantee – a year goes by really quickly! Happy baking, everyone.
Excellent machine, easy to use, easy to clean… with an exceptional range of options. Although it doesn’t bother me I could imagine that the working noise might bother some people. As another review mentioned, the booklet accompanying the machine is too basic. The design problem I find with all bread makers is the indent in the finished loaf left by the as yet non-retractable mixing paddle.
I do do like the different options as I make nearly all our bread , mostly I use the leaven dough program , then the bake program as this is most reliable combination .
With the best will in the world it is difficult to have bread be consistent.
The picture is of Tesco Sourdough Bread mix , I used the leaven dough first , then an extra ferment , baked it for 45 mins . I must admit I am picky and had taken the dough out before the extra ferment sprayed the pan with oil and coated it with maize meal .
It does have a lovely golden top , unlike my first bread maker could manage many years ago.
Makes very tasty bread
Easy to use
Included recipes seem to big for unit 1st couple of loaves up to lid.
Reduced some ingredients as. Per fault list worked fine the
Decent bread maker. Easy to use. Only downside is the included recipes aren’t all that informative but there are plenty available online. The paddle does tend to get stuck to the driveshaft part and needs a good yank to get it off for cleaning. Everything else is pretty easy to clean though. I leave it to soak in some hot water for a bit and it comes off a bit easier.
This is the best thing that’s happened to me in years
There is no single thing to say I did not like
Just add the ingredients, close the lid and some hours later you have homemade bread? What could be better? I just made my first loaf, Einkorn sourdough, and it is so good I can hardly believe it. Highly recommended.
The instructions aren’t that clear, they didn’t say how to attach the kneeding padle, but I figured it out. They also don’t make it clear how to adjust the loaf bread or colour using the menu, so I just accepted the defaults – 1.5lb loaf, which wasn’t enough, I had to finish off the bread in my oven.
However, the rest of the process is easy, the machine just gets on with it and does everything for you. It mixes the dough, lets it rise and prove, and then automatically bakes the bread – as expected.
The baking dish is smaller than I expected, but it turned out ok. I would’ve liked different trays to make different shaped bread, but I suppose I’d have to pay a lot more for a device that had that.
All in all, for a first time bread maker, I like it. The instruction booklet has different recipes for making different doughs, you can have just dough – for making something else with the dough later, there’s a recipe for pizza dough, but you’d have to spin the dough to thin it yourself.
I’m currently on my next recipe, using this to make a dough for lardy cake. Let’s see how this turns out.
The sourdough bread I made with this, once I’d finished it off in my oven as I couldn’t work out how to set the loaf size and oven time from the menu, it was very tasty and I will be making a lot more with this.
I have been using it since I got it to bake bread and I have liked it. The other day I made pizza dough and we enjoyed a lovely pizza
This is the third bread maker I have bought. This is just as good as the more expensive ones I have previously owned. Excellent value, especially as it was purchased from Amazon warehouse deals at almost half price, because of a damaged box!!
This was a Christmas gift for my husband. It really is the gift that keeps on giving. We’ve had numerous loaves of freshly baked bread from it and all of them have come out light and fluffy, despite my husband never having made bread before. It has lots of easy to use functions and comes with a booklet of recipes to get you going. This is really good value for money.
The measuring jug has ‘invisible’ markings – when you fill it with flour or liquid. That is very annoying. Solved that by buying a better quality jug.
It is very easy to use, takes no time at all to add the ingredients and nothing much to wash-up.
Overall – I love it and use it every two days and the bread tastes gorgeous!
very happy with this machine,it works very well imo,theres no banging or anything it just makes a whirring noise while it mixes dough up and then its silent until bread is done.
if a 60yr old single bloke can do it then you can too,its virtually fool proof and a right bargain compared to a lot of others.
This will get a lot of use in our house!
I had often thought about it but thought it would be hard to make, even with the machine. How wrong was I!!!
Put in the ingredients, push a button and out pops home made bread, easy and simple plus a great smelling kitchen.
