God, yes Whitewave......

I've got Lymphoedema in my right arm, so kneading by hand's out the question.

I have one - a Panasonic - and use it constantly. I do like the idea of making bread by hand but life is too short really and I have so much to pack in before I leave this world.

P.S. Hate the thought though of being associated with "call me Dave"

The Panasonic is definitely the best one, squaredog. Not sure if it's worth the expense if you live alone but if you get one, YES, you will put on weight because all the bread recipes are so tempting.

You could always just use the breadmaker for making and proving dough then shape your own smaller loaves and freeze them.

Now, I've put this thread on here rather than 'Food', cos I want the opinion of 'normals' rather 'foodies'. (PLEASE don't anyone take offence at this terminology, we don't have to be too PC on here, do we?)

OK......I live alone, and am thinking of getting a breadmaker, simply because I can't get any decent bread within walking distance. It's flippin' rubbish (You can take as much offence at this as you like.......)

Is it worth the expense, and will I use it, not put on too much weight cos the bread's so bloody gorgeous.....

I've done all the research, a Panasonic's apparantly THE one to get, but I'm still dithering.

Help me out here normals, please. Thank you.
