Best Bread Makers

Our team of experts have hand-tested every model on the market to come up with our list of the very best breadmakers.


Nothing beats the aroma of home-baked bread in the mornings, topped with butter that melts effortlessly into the warm, comforting bread. The interest in home baking has increased and therefore, our expectations for home baking goods must go further than ever before. This is why breadmakers can now create delicious jams, cakes, pizza and pasta dough in addition to that soft loaf in the morning. Our rigorous review and testing process lets us dive beneath the manufacturer’s hype to discover the truth about the latest breadmakers on the market.

While we know there is increased interest in home-baking and experimenting with new ingredients, we cannot deny that making dough is a labour of love and the appeal is quickly lost after attempting to scrape stubborn, sticky dough from your hands.

This poses the question: is a breadmaker worth the hype? Perhaps this is the case if you are looking for a mess-free, easy clean-up in the kitchen. You can say goodbye to scraping dough from your hands as a breadmaker will knead until your dough reaches the perfect consistency. On the other hand, allergies may be another reason to invest in a breadmaker as being in control of your ingredients eliminates the threat to your health, especially for gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan lifestyles. Not only this, there is money to be saved with a breadmaker as not only will you save on in-store prices of bread, cakes and dough but also, according to our research, the average bread maker uses less energy than a coffee machine!

Thankfully, one thing you don’t have to worry about is the price of a breadmaker, we monitor these daily to make sure you get the best value and with our Price Match Promise, if you do find it cheaper elsewhere, we will match it!

So, read on to discover our top picks!

What we look for in a breadmaker:


  • Programmes
    More programmes means more types of bread you can create.
  • Dispenser
    Some breadmakers have a fruits and nuts dispenser to more texture to your loaf.
  • Usability
    We have a panel of experts and focus groups who test every breadmaker to find out how easy they are to use.
  • Build & Reliability
    Our extensive consumer survey conducted throughout the year helps us to determine brands are the most reliable.
