The Fastbake 48268 has a 13 hour programmable timer giving you the option of baking overnight, for fresh bread in the morning. The crust setting lets you choose exactly how you want your crusts to turn out. Either light, medium or dark.

If you're baking seeded or fruit bread, you need to know when to add the ingredients. Well, the Fastbake breadmaker lets off a loud BEEP noise when it's time to add the extra ingredients which makes it extremely simple to use.

Fastbake 48268 Breadmaker User Reviews

21st November 2008

Absolute rubbish. I learned my trade as a confectioner so I know a little about the subject. Have had this model approx 8 months and not had a decent loaf yet. Contacted M.R and was told the recipes in the book are for the American market.

They like their bread sweet apparently. I am not in America, I am in Wales. No matter how I try to stick rigidly to the system the bread is either overbaked giving a very thick and brown outer skin, even though I reduced the sugar considerably which, for the most part is responsible for the colour as well as feeding the yeast. So the timer for various loaves is a total waste of time. I have to check continuously that the loaf is not getting overcooked. Sometimes I have switched off 1/2 hour before the automatic timer cuts in and still get indifferent loaves. I have reached the stage where I really don't want to waste any more time with this machine.

I have also read other reports of users who do not like the machine for one reason or another. A sticking point with some is that spares are not always available. I have not experienced that as yet, nor am I likely to as I will not use this machine again.

This has proved to be more useful and gives better results than I expected, no flops so far! Even experimental carrot doped bread using gratings and juice from a juicer worked ok (my fussy toddler ate it, haha fooled him!) it looks so smart we have re-arranged the worktop stuff to keep it on show where we originally planned to cupboard it.

If you keep the ingredients for it in a basket then its quick and easy to throw the stuff in and 3 hours later have a lovely loaf, as often as you want. The upright style of baking tin means the loaf is nice and evenly square along most its length making cutting and sandwiches easier. Its not noisy but it would be nice if you could have muted the loud beeps at halfway and the end. Very easy to wash up too.

It doesn't appear the sturdiest item I have seen, but treated with respect I don't see it not giving good service and the current price is very good. This is a good buy.
