Tesco BMS1 Bread Maker Reviews: Tesco Fast Bake Bread Maker

+ Excellent timer feature. Audio alarm of when to add other ingredients. Fantastic price for a bredmaker

- None

+ Easy to use with good results

- Casing a little out of shape on one side, but it doesn't affect the peformance. The recipes needed "tweaking" a little to improve the quality of the bread, but this was easy to do.

+ overall very happy

- electrical cable is to short.

+ easy to use & efficient

- Using your recipe the bread is too aerated and the wholemeal loaf with 700gms comes over the top of the tin and all sticks to the underside of the lid

+ Easy to use, runs quietly

- Bit bulky

+ iNSTRUCTIONS ARE CLEAR AND EASY TO FOLLOW AND MY DAUGHTERS 1ST ATTEMPT AT BREADMAKING TURNED OUT VERY WELL.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Straightforward to use, easy to clean, bread tasted good, booklet helpful.

- Gauges difficult to read if sight is not excellent. Bread a little pale on medium bake.

+ It's an absolute bargain!

- The instruction leaflet and the recipes within it are quite limited.

+ It was a present for my father who has recently had a stroke. When i'd typed the instructions bigger and he'd watched me a few times, he now makes white bread himself and this has helped his confidence and everything. Thanks!

- writing too small for him, and so I will have to enlarge everything or type them bigger

+ easy to use and easy to follow recipe instructions

- bit awkard to clean internally

+ simple to use good instructions

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Straight forward, easy and convenient - love it!

- After use, the paddle sometimes gets stuck in the tin and can be quite hard to remove.

+ the pan is easy to remove and clean. It allows the bread to be removed from the pan with just a couple of shakes.

- It is a bit bulky, taller and longer than my previous one. I find the screen a bit difficult to read.

+ Great product all round - good value for money. Makes delicious bread!

- None

+ It is so simple to use and easy tp clean.

- only two loaf loaf sizes

+ FANTASTICALLY EASY AND VALUE FOR MONEY. VERY SIMPLE AND PRODUCES LOVELY BREAD EVERY TIME. HAVEN'T BOUGHT ANY BREAD SINCE I RECEIVED THE BREAD MAKER 5 WEEKS AGO.
RECOMMEND TOMATO BREAD!!!!!!!

- THE CUP MEASURE NEEDS BETTER MARKINGS ON IT, I HAVE GREAT EYESIGHT BUT I STRUGGLE TO SEE THE INCREMENT MARKINGS ON THE CUP ESPECIALLY WHEN FLOUR IN IT!, PERHAPS COLOURED MARKINGS OR LINES WOULD HELP.

+ I like the timer facility on it

- you cant clean the lid very easily

+ Fantastic breadmaker, great value product. Easy to follow instructions, with timer so lovely fresh bread first thing in the morning. Some nice recipe ideas included too! Highly recommended.

- None.

+ Brilliant buy, use it nearly every day. Easy to use and clean, takes seconds to prepare and then you just leave it to do its stuff. And the bread is lovely. Great!!!!!!

- Hasn't got any bad points.

+ Variety of recipes and programs

- does not like a cold kitchen!!!

+ Easy to use, stylish, value for money breadmaker

- Haven't found any

+ Good value for money. Has all the functions of more expensive versions but costs less

- Instructions were a little unclear

+ Simple to use,good results every time used.

- none

+ We haven't had a bread maker before, so don't have anything to compare it with, but we do like the following:
- The delay start (lovely smell to wake up to on a Sunday!),
- The design (cheaper appliances usually don't look this good aesthetically),
- The simplicity of the whole design and use.

- Things we would like to see additionally (or improved/changed) are:
- A small brush to clean inside the paddle (we currently poke out the 'gunge' with a cocktail stick),
- And a lock on the lid (curious children could - and have - opened it whilst it's rising!)

+ Product is very good value for money - Does all that is required

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Easy to use!
Perfect results!

- Unsuccessful with the timer (ie bread to be cooked hours later)

+ Easy to use, reliably produces loaves

- recipe book in very small print. Don't like the use of cups in the recipes.

+ Very easy to use and very easy to clean.

- Havent found any yet!

+ we like the handle to help move it when in use

+ GOOD VALUE BREADMAKER, SIMPLE TO USE AND CLEAN

- Reviewer left no comment

+ So simple to use, and makes lovely bread (as long as you use the right yeast!!) It took a little practise and a few rubbish loafs, but we have got it spot on now.

- You can only make one size loaf, the 700g loaf reach the lid so I presume if you attempt a 900g loaf it could get messy.

+ Does everything we want from a bread making machine from basic packet mixes to recipe bakes

- Hand book does not have many recipes. Would advise getting a breadmaking cookbook

+ easy to use

- breadmaking instructions not detailed enough.
The machine moves around on work surface when working, needs to be placed on cloth or suchlike.

+ Easy to use, easy to programme, timer function useful.

- loaf size can be little small sometimes though i suspect that's more to do with my measuring than the actual machine. Would be useful if recipe book had quantities shown for 900g loaf instead of having to work it out (so have only done 700g loaves so far as can't be bothered to work it out!)

+ Easy to use.

- the recipes don`t always give a perfect product i.e. sometimes the bread collapses at the top, but is still edible

+ Instructions, variety and preparation

- cleaning the inside

+ easy to use
easy to clean
makes excellent bread

- none

+ idiot proof havent bought bread since

- none

+ Reviewer left no comment

- recipe book needs more receipes...

+ Easy to understand the instructions, easy to use

- Rubbish for cakes, crust on bread is very hard

+ Easy to use right out of the box, recipes are easy to understand

- Measuring cup was cracked upon unpacking, banana bread recipe in instructions did not make anything resembling banana bread

+ The carrying handle is a great asset. It means that the maker is easy to move if necessary. Very neat design. Satisfied and delighted with the various recipes I have used. Like loaf shape as I can cut in half and freeze.

- I have not detected any bad points and I have been making my own bread for about seven years.

+ Extremely easy to use and easy ro clean. Good size, not too big

- Measuring cup is not good design, you can't see the different measurements lines especially when you have flour in the cup. Would be better if the measurement lines were in a colour so you could see them

+ Simple to use - consistent results - pretty much idiot proof - we bought this to replace an older, more expensive, bread maker which required a new part. The price for the replacement part was 70% of the price of this new machine !! and the results fom this new machine are as good if not better. Hence we think very good value for money.

- None that we can find

+ It is cheap and the bread is very nice.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ It doesn't take very long, there are lots of different settings to choose from but is still easy to use, a very good price for a bread maker, the end product has been successful everytime, the instructions include different recipes for you to use.

- It's quite noisey when kneading the dough.

+ Easy to use and compact so would fit in the smallest kitchen. Easy to clean and the little instruction manual that comes with it is excellent?

- None really, takes a little experimentation to get the perfect loaf, but i think thats half the fun.

+ compact, and easy to clean.good bread with no fuss.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ its flippin ace

- none - its a bread maker.... it makes bread. Enough said.

+ it makes a great lopaf time after time - it is easy to use

- it is difficult to read the measurements on the cup - no other bad points

+ Simple to use with controls common with our previous machine.

- Limited instructions and no recipes.

+ screen is easy to read and use

- none

+ Very easy to use and very easy to clean, cannot fault it.

- None.

+ Easy to use

- Paddle stays in loaf and so last slice is holey!

+ Does what it says in the instructions!

+ So easy to use, makes a perfect loaf every time...providing you follow the recipes and instructions!

+ Value for money. most recipes turn out ok.

- I found the writing far to small in the manual, more so the recipes.

+ Easy to clean and use

- Connectin electric cable to short

+ It is easy to get good results and produce excellent bread

- Water content of recipes is to high

+ It does what it says on the box,with no fuss.

- more recipies.

+ Value for money. looks and cleaning good. The hook is a good tool for extracting the paddle when it gets stuck which is not very often.

- measuring cup details of amounts/markings is not as good as our last breadmaker. Recipes seem to not be too acurate and need adjusting.

+ Easy to clean and good starter recipes in instruction book. Good intro machine for making bread. Not tried anything else yet, but says it does cakes etc

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Easy to use providing you follow the quantities precisely as given in the recipes

- Difficult to read the measuring cup when full of ingredients, pity the quantities are not given in weight terms as well.

+ Great value, looks good and works well

- Have had one failed loaf

+ I have never used a bread maker before and found the instuctions very helpful, and the measuring cup etc helpful too.

- I did not find the buttons easy at first for the colour and size of loaf but, is easier if you read and have a play with the buttons, it soon becomes clear.

+ easy to use

- none

+ Straightforward and easy to use. Simply add the ingredients, set it and forget it!

- Paddle sticks to the spindle after baking, making it difficult to clean.

+ does the job its meant to, less than half the price of the panasonic. I'd go for this one any day.

- the loaves dont last long!

+ Good instructions, easy to use, value for money, good features

- Casing is a bit flimsy and poor fitting
Variety of bread products limited

+ It is just fantastic value for money. Excellent for a couple of people. Large families might find the loaf too small but it is just right for us, lasting 2 or 3 days. We like the handle which makes the breadmaker easy to carry.

- Paddle will not come out of tin immediately after cooking, but this may be a good point as it could get stuck in the bread, otherwise. It releases after soaking for a short time.

+ Cheap and cheerful with a range of different types of bread to choose from. Bread comes out of the tin easily.

- I really miss not having two paddles to mix the dough - sometimes I get left over flour in the bottom corners. I have to use more bread flour and less plain flour to get the bread to rise and stay risen!

+ it's easy to clean and didn't cost much

- Everything that comes out of it is an epic fail

+ Reviewer left no comment

- limited menu. could be better with weights rather than cup measures

+ My first breadmaker and have never looked back or bought anymore bread. This machine is so simple and easy to use its really full proof,. Great recipes with instrutions. If you are a first time user like me, would highly recommend.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ easy to use/cheap to buy/labour saving/excellent if used just to make the dough and then left to rise before baking in a conventional oven

- loaf doesn't get a chance to rise properly/loaf has an hole in the one end from the paddle/loaf rather pappy in texture

+ Easy to use

- limited on size of loaf, instructions only for smaller loaf not larger

+ Easy to use following the provided recipes (though it would have been better to provide quantities for the 900g loaf as well as the 700g - you have to be pretty good at maths to convert the quantities to bake the larger loaf!) Easy to clean. Neat and tidy, looks good on the worktop but small enough to store away in a cupboard. Bakes lovely bread.

- No indicator light that shows when the breadmaker is switched on and baking. Top of the loaf always sinks on baking no matter what I do - any tips anybody?

+ Ease of use. Clear display.

- First one had lid that did not sit closely on body of machine. Replaced immediately by Tesco without question. Replacement item performing very well.

+ Cheap and produces a good loaf of bread.

- The recipies in the book don't make a good loaf of bread - I used the recipe from the yeast packet and weigh all the ingredients instead of using the measuring cup and teaspoon. This produces a far better result.

+ makes great bread

- none really

+ It's very easy to use, looks good.

- Quite noisy, finished results not quite as good as a previous bread maker, perhaps its the recipe need to make some adjustmants.
