and will get refund I don’t trust this machine and I love breville as a brand usually,but not this dangerous appliance ,glad I was home at the time .
2 out of 2 failed since purchase – We purchased this in March and it had a faulty lid so sent back for a replacement. The replacement lasted half way through one cook of rice before error message EO2 came up saying circuit issue contact breville. Now waiting again for another call back to get a refund on an item already replaced and had to wait for replacement as not in stock and don’t want replacement as batch number 1935. Refund on last item took 7 days. Show details
Very Good with limitations – I purchased the multi-cooker mostly for the programmable slow cooking functions of which it does a fantastic job. The unit is well constructed and easy to use although I sometimes still have to refer to the instruction manual to operate it. I noticed reviews rated it on it's pressure cooker function, it is not a pressure cooker, it even has an… Read more
always open vent on it. It works very well on steaming, searing, slow cooking, soup/stew and bread making functions. I don't use any of the other functions. I have not had a bread maker for many years as I usually make bread by hand, the thought of fresh bread in the morning when I get up just caped of my decision to buy the 9 in 1. When making bread I limit myself to a medium (680 gram) loaf, as that comes as close to the lid as I would like. Using Laucke Multigrain bread mix, the result is very good, unfortunately the kneading blade usually stays on the shaft causing a large hole in the base of the bread. This can be avoided by taking the dough out of the machine, after the final knockdown, removing the blade and putting the dough back into the machine. I had to buy a F Dick 26 cm bread knife to cut the bread satisfactorily as a standard 20 cm bread knife is too short. Most of the cleaning is straightforward except if food gets below the outer heating element, fortunately I have a very narrow attachment for my vacuum cleaner to get it out. If the food is stuck on below the heating element I find a damp cloth on the end of a chopstick a satisfactory way to clean it. The viewing window often hard to see through as it seems to steam up easily between the two layers of plastic, I don't think that is of much concern although some people might. The cooker certainly does not seem to retain any cooking smells. Overall I am very happy with this multi-cooker and the high standard of food I have been able to cook with it.
Bought for bread making – Used three times, once for large loaf, then medium then small. With the large and medium loaves, the dough broke into smaller pieces which then worked their way over the loaf tin and onto the heating elements causing smoke and charcoal, effectively catching fire.

First few loaves ok then not so good – Was happy with the first few loaves then we noticed smoke coming out, so we gave it a good clean as there we crumbs on the element. Next loaf same thing, it looks like when mixing some of it goes over the side and ends up burning on the element, in this case those crumbs then caught fire.... needless to say I am sending it back to Harvey Norman Show details
Best thing since sliced bread – I was a bit apprehensive when purchasing this Cooker because the claims that it could do so much seemed too hard to believe. Well... throw away all your other appliances because this little beauty does it all. We have been cooking up a storm, stews, curry, rice, bread, fried chips and our own yoghurt, everything turned out perfect. Has a recipe… Read more
for Bread Rolls that you can play around with and make a Chelsea Bun full of sultanas, it is fantastic.
You can download a very comprehensive recipe book from Breville or it is just as easy to make your own favourite recipes.
Love that everything can be cooked using one pot and the lid seals so the liquids remain in the pot and not bubble down the sides. Very easy to clean.
Looks great on the Kitchen Bench, very compact unit, just pull it out when you need it.
We loved it so much we purchased two, one for home and one for the caravan, all the extra utensils sit inside, it is a real space saver.
First bread was great! – Looking around for a bread maker machine, I was doubting between the Panasonic SD-2501 and the Panasonic SD-ZB2512, but both were not available due to COVID-19 shortage of bread markers. So, I bought this one, and I am VERY happy I did. The attached photo was from my first bread! Just threw in the ingredients, turned it on, eh voila, 3h and 20… Read more
min later (or thereabouts) had quality bread.
I would have liked the top a little darker, so I will go for dark setting next time (this was medium), and the bread is very slightly tickly woven, so perhaps a little more water or yeast may do it.
The 900g bread was gone in 20 minutes as the family LOVED it. Kids came back asking for more over and over, till the bread was gone.
And you know what is super cool? My wife wanted a slow cooker, but she mentioned there may not be enough space in the kitchen. Now we have a bread machine which is also a slow cooker, and a fryer, and this and that. SUPER! Breville rocks.
Update: After a few more breads: Dark setting + 900g bread is ideal, and we use the ingredients for "French Bread" from the book + the "French Bread" setting on the machine. The bread is EXCELLENT. Family loves it.
One more update (and a reply to another review) after many breads: yes you need to clean it out every few breads, and yes if you do not do so it will smell smoky/burnt. I suspect that some ingredients may get swooshed over the edge during the initial mixing, and those then get burned being close to the heating element. While it does not seem dangerous in any way, it is a slight issue. Just cleaning it out every 3-5 breads by holding it upside down and then wiping the inside with a wet wipe or two does the trick. Not a major drama by any means, and the breads remain superb. If one would have a professional bread oven, I suspect it would require cleaning too :) I would perhaps take 0.5 to 1 star away for this, but the machine is otherwise so super great I will leave it at 5 stars for the time being. I still highly recommend it.
