Hi on to the breadmaker subject again !
Can anyone tell me anything about the Breville BB400? I can't find anything on the net about this one.
I have at the moment a Sunbeam Cooltouch Bakehouse, and was thinking about buying the Breville BB400 advertised in our local, but can't find any info about them!
Thank you!

The latest version is BB420.
BB400 is an old version number.

Thanks for your answer DavidG, yep I knew that, but I'm trying to decide if I want to buy this second hand Breville BB400 or not, and I don't know anything about them.
I would dearly love to buy BB420..........can't afford at the moment I'm afraid!

Save up, scrimp, bludge, borrow. Buy new and you will not regret it.
Biggest problem I have is the termites.
Baked a fruit loaf and there was only 4 slices left when it was cold enough to pack away in the freezer. (for toast)
Got to bake another today. That is 3 fruit loves in less than a week......

You can't beat home baked bread, and we even know what's in it!

Welcome to Basic Ingredients HomeBread
If you are interested in baking bread or buying a bread maker I recommend going to basic ingredients and having a read.
I am not affiliated with them part from being a happy customer.
They don't sell makers but they do recommend some over others. If your looking for bread mixes consider their introductory offer, it's a lot cheaper than the major supermarkets and allows you to try a few things.
I personally scorn the maker. I can throw together a loaf with so little effort, albiet over several hours, that I've never seen the point of them. YMMV
Anyone can make edible bread, for some people it's a near religeon and they spend their lives looking for perfection. Hopefully I'm somewhere in the middle.

I'll throw in my 2.2c worth.
After many years making bread by hand, my family bought me a Sunbeam bread maker (10? years ago I think). Worked like a charm, but was a little on the small size. After things started wearing out, we decided to get the bigger all-singing all-dancing Sunbeam, and wasn't that a disappointment. While it did larger loaves, it had a vertical mixing blade which didn't mix properly, and the baking part of it just wasn't hot enough, couldn't put a decent crust on anything (I say didn't get hot enough because even if you programmed a longer baking cycle, nothing changed). After trying everything to get this to work for 2 years, got a smaller (1Kg) Breville, and got decent loaves again. It has the old Sunbeam type angled mixer and a decent baking temp.
I will go back to making bread by hand when I have more time (retirement coming up), I love the process.
Good luck with your Breville.If you can't laugh at yourself, you could be missing out on the joke of the century - E.Everidge

I have two bread makers. One is a cheaper breville, which we replaced after about 2 years as the bearing that held the paddle in gave way. We only use it for dough - mostly pizza bases or plaited bread. I never had much success in getting a nice, fluffly loaf of bread out of them, though others manage it fine.
The other one is a Sunbeam that I scored from kerbside collection. I use it to roast coffee I put it on dough setting and use a heat gun held up on an Aldi drill press stand to roast 'em with. Works really well. Wouldn't ercommend using it for bread afterwards though
Cheers,
Dave

I purchased my Panasonic bread maker a few months ago, and I wish I'd done it sooner! It replaced a small Welbilt I've had for some time. Just toss in the ingredients, and bingo! Fresh-baked bread without the hassle.
