Kenwood BM250

Beware of these Bread Makers – We received this unit from Myer Melbourne when we purchased our Kenwood Mixer from them sometime ago. It has been stored away ever since but yesterday we decided to try it out. When there was about 1 hour left the power to that part of our house shorted out.

obviously destroyed the mixture and again it tripped the fuse. As there is no Warranty on this unit even though it has been used on the once is it worth getting it fixed?

These bread makers are used for everything including jams and preparing dough before doing twisted loaves or buns to bake in the oven. Super reliable. Small footprint - most bread makers seem puffed up with their own importance Initially bickets. Paddles are expensive - but then they all are

disappointed – I have been a happy Kenwood user for 30+ years but I am very disappointed with this product - it doesn't incorporate all the flour tends to mix to one side only which could be because it only has a small kneader, it's very noisy, haven't tried the jam making options yet
