Good value for money. Does not have some of the more sophisticated features but the bread tastes good!

I bought this breadmaker at a car boot sale possibly bought it from one of the previous poor reviewers, I have only had it a short while and so far very impressed. The rapid loaf is exactly that,no problems at all, well risen and tastes good. The 'quick' banana nut loaf is great. I have used a breadmaker for a number of years now so not afraid to add 'extra' or substitute ingredients and adjust if not looking right etc so maybe that is the key. Anyway, I am really pleased after so many years of waiting 3+ hours to get at the bread!!! P.S. I never use butter ...flora or similar as has lower saturated fat and this seems to work just as well.

Value for money?.Well has to be given the way I got it,but I think it is even if you had to pay full price.

I am a Spanish buyer of the Russell Hobbs Breadman Rapide breadmaker (Model 434-766), unfortunately this product didn't come with Instructions in Spanish, and I would love to be able to use the recipes.

If anyone can help or give me advice on where to get the instructions/recipes in Spanish, please can you leave a comment here. I would appreciate it very much.

I have had this Russell Hobbs Breadman Rapide for over two years. Despite the initial 6 months of making bread exclusively I have had minimal success. I can only produce a risen white loaf with Carrs Flour. If I use a wholemeal recipe I get a heavy sunken loaf. I use grams rather than cups and Russel Hobbs confirmed the correct measurements.I even bought digital scales to ensure accuracy. I have had family members who are used to acheiving good results in their machine try and fail to make a risen loaf. On the plus side my chickens are very well fed thanks to the tons of inedible bread I produce with this machine.

The Russell Hobbs Breadman Rapide would have been my third breadmaker. When my second one wore out after daily use for a year I did quite a lot of hunting to find a good value bread maker that also makes jam. I tried about 5 times to get a good loaf out of it and finally gave up and took it back to the shop.

I never worked out why there are settings for 3 loaf sizes, but no recipes for the small size in the book supplied. I suspect it wouldn't work on a small loaf as it was struggling with the medium size.
