Singer Bread Maker for $14.85.
Delivery was $15 for me to 3012
A good idea is to set this to a timer so the bread bakes as you wake up to the smell of fresh bread and then smoke and then your kitchen is on fire and your house burns down. So then you don't have to go to work.
Life hacks.

Same breadmaker here for same price
Thanks to mwalks
This made me genuinely laugh out loud. Harsh neg man.
Sew buttons
Sew dough bread perhaps ???
dough ray me far sew
nice one
Does this also work for sourdough bread or just plain?
probably not, judging from the instruction..
it mixed the raw ingredients of flour n dry yeast & then ferment it.
Sourdough is generally advised to proof/ ferment overnight..
unless u r happy to leave the dough out in room temp overnight.. it might work
the breadmaker i have, you can leave all the ingredients in for up to 12 hours (water, yeast, salt, sugar, butter), just so long as the yeast doesn't touch the water….. assuming temperatures aren't too hot or too cold.
you reckon it would still work if you do the bulk ferment separately and just bake the dough in this bread maker?
there's nothing on the site to indicate how hot it bakes at, so can't be sure of what kind of oven-spring you'll get with the bread.
I am tempted to buy and use it solely for the kneading function, since you should bake and steam the bread to get a good oven spring, so the normal oven might still be better. Though I have adopted all the no-knead recipes now for my bread, thus eliminating the need for a bread maker. But only 15 bucks tho…
@Banana: yeah, i'm tempted to get it just to see if it would work.
with this at least you wouldn't have to shape the dough and proof in a banetton. maybe?
just go straight from bulk ferment to baking?
@shakoo: I think you should still need to do the shaping + last proofing before it goes into baking since the shaping is really so you have enough surface tension to get a nice and tall bread. I reckon this just eliminates the initial phase of kneading.
I didn't end up getting one since I am experimenting with all the no-knead recipes. Let me know how you go if you managed to buy one.
@Banana: nah, didn't manage to get one 'cos i wanted to do some more research but got busy at work.
my reasoning for not doing the shaping/proofing was maybe a ciabatta style bread would be fine to just drop in it? what you reckon.
will have to see if any youtube vids come out for people's attempts at using this :-)
@shakoo: I do that with focaccia (no shaping), but that is baked in a pan so the shape doesn't matter. I still think it would be rather flat without the shaping part, but can assure you it would taste fine (my focaccia is always a hit)
So happy to meet another fellow baker, it's been a rather lonely journey for me.
@Banana: You people with hand made bread skills will be disappointed with machine made.
It is great for slapping the ingredients in and wandering off to do something else, then coming back for a fresh, ok quality loaf.
But the quality is more like Vietnamese bakery $1 loaves. Nice fresh and fine for a sandwich, but nobody is going to get excited about the bread.
It also comes out with a hole in the bottom from the mixer.
But for the price, why not give it a shot?
@Banana: to be honest, it's a recent covid-introduced skill but now i usually bake 2-3 times a week. but that baking ranges from boulles and baguettes through to pizza dough and focaccia so i can't really claim any skill or expertise :-)
I ended up ordering one from easybread.com.au so will give it a go and post an update :-D
@shakoo: I will appreciate it!
It's also a new-ish obsession of mine. I am currently making a 48-hour, no-knead raisin toast, scheduled to be baked tomorrow morning. If that turned out to be a disaster then I would probably get one :D
What does it mean when it says there are no capsules on the market to suit this bread maker? Does it not include everything in the box to get started?
Can I use Nespresso compatible capsules?
Good question.. I'm thinking it means the metal bread container ie no spares around. So this is either why it is so cheaper or its a pricing error.
doubt it's a pricing error, it was $50 before this, just looks like they're clearing them out.
lol @nespresso comment.
So I just called them, basically the capsule is kind of like the Nespresso capsule in that it has the yeast, however you can still add the yeast manually t the cooking bowl (which is included)
Can you use the machine for kneading purpose only?
Only if you really knead to!
Yeah I’ve got one, I always set it for the kneading cycle and then take it out to cook in the oven instead of the machine
@Uprising14: Does it do more than what a mixer with a dough hook does? Does it heat up during the kneading cycle and what can you adjust?
@bargainshooter: This is $15, and although some consumer grade mixers claim to knead dough, most (all?) can't handle being used that way long term. I was going to buy the most expensive Kitchenaid. One of the main reasons I didn't was reading owners saying a loaf a day (which would be plenty of people) killed their mixer.
Capsule is just a bread mix in a packet you insert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIduT_6f8W8
You can apparently also put your own mix in according to the description page
Looks like the same bread maker comes under many different brands such as Sunbeam, Salton Easy Bread…
Bread capsules, like nespresso, but for bread.
Can still make bread manually.
LOL.
I bow down to your superior wisdom, OP.
so this is not a procing error? I don't want a breadmaker but you know for $30….
I make sourdough, I wonder if I could use this to knead bread? Cheaper than any other bread maker out there.
Just ordered one, for that price you can't go wrong (hopefully not anyway).
can't work from home if there is no home!
$25 postage to WA
Bought 8. Payed $30 shipping.
Great presents.
I knead this!
No, you dough not!
Dough be sour about getting on the upvote train.
I pulled the trigger too quickly and bought 2 without understanding what a "Capsule" bread maker is.
Called them literally 5 minutes later and they refused to cancel/refund.
Will probably give them as gifts.
You don't need capsules to use this. It will work like any other bread maker machine.
Looks like you don't have to use a capsule (see comments further up), you can just put your own mix into the metal bowl directly.
looks like it's not a procing error then. Can't get rid of them fast enough.
And yes no need for capsules.
I'm thinking maybe a little powdercoating oven depending on how hot it gets.
Why should they refused to cancel the order?
In there T&C's it states change of mind is at their discretion.
Tell them you'll contact your bank to organise a charge back. 9/10 times they CBF and will fold.
Just brought one.. Why not.
Where did you bring it to?
Lol
To whence?
*FROM whence. To whither.
Similar one here… https://easybread.com.au/shop/capsule-bread-maker/
Looks like everyone is clearing them… I can't find the capsules anywhere though…
It's the same one. Capsules are no longer available, you'd have to manually add ingredients. PayPal receipt is for Blessington PTY LTD
Pulled the trigger! Great stocking stuffer for the kid about to move out!
Didn't know I needed a bread maker when I woke up this morning.
Didn't know you kneaded a bread maker?
Next week you'll be waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread!
How much are the capsules ?
That's the bad news, capsules aren't sold anymore.
You don't need them
The capsules were US$4 to $8, which made one small loaf. Little wonder it never succeeded.
Before people buy this..there seems to be no capsules available to buy online lol
Read the comments above.
If you can just use your own mix then why not just use your oven?
because it kneads the dough and being a smaller cooking space might be a bit more electricity-efficient than your oven. and has a timer function so you can prep it the night before and it's ready when you wake up.
@BarginGrabber: ah well, you've just saved valuable counter space for a rarely-used device, $30, and can still make bread in your oven!
So if I have a kitchenaid and an oven, I don't need this?
That's what my wife said, but this is probably more efficient.
Read my other comment about kneading dough in a mixer. Better off with the $15 bread machine.
Thanks OP, my 11-year-old loves bread so I've bought him one for Christmas.
Bought 2!
Let's make a single bread in single day with singer!
How is this different than having a regular oven and baking bread in that.
This was meant to be for people who just want to add a pre-purchased bread capsule and click 'bake'… No measuring ingredients etc… Unfortunately the capsules are no longer sold, but some people have been working on their own mixes, but might as well bake it in your own oven and save your kitchen from clutter.
Just by taking valuable space from your counter :)
It's the same as air 'fryers'. Convenience of mixing baking in the same tray and the fact that you don't need to preheat a large oven etc. In the long run it may save you $$ on power. Haven't done the math.
I use my airfryer everyday, best invention ever
to make bread you need to knead it, let it poof, knead it again, preheat oven, adjust temperature, watch over it, etc
with a breadmaker you can just chuck all the ingredients in and wait for a few hours and it's done.
There are "no-knead" recipes out there, you just need time :)
As if the results from the breadmaker will even come close to the above process. All this does is heat whilst "kneading" then bake. It would be hopeless with sourdough. A yeast packet bread recipe however would be ok.
No kneading for a start. (Although there are "no-knead' bread recipes too.) These are also designed to do one thing and just work (once you get the mix right). There's plenty of variables with a (consumer) oven. e.g. If you live where mains voltage fluctuates. In the morning a loaf might need xx minutes, at night it might need 30 minutes more. A dedicated machine has electronics that ensure the same thing happens over and over again. These probably use less power overall too due to the much smaller cavity. People who want to get into 'artesian' breads, use a clay cover, water spray, spend a lot of time experimenting, etc move onto ovens. People who want to set and forget get these.
That said, this is probably worth about $!5 due to the location of the electronics. They're above the cooking chamber on this. And heat rises, and heat shortens the life of electronics. It's a poor design. Even if someone uses an oven, they can use this to knead the bread.
has anyone every own one of this?
For anyone doubting cheap bread makers…
I bought a similar one off eBay for $45 delivered a year or two ago. Works brilliantly.
Minimal effort required.
Just dump in ingredients, press a few buttons and wake up to freshly baked bread.
Washing up is super easy too.
For $30 delivered this is a no brainer.
I've owned a couple of awful machines that would never work right. The worst was a Breville. The two I've found to be consistently the best over the years have been Sunbeam (good) and Panasonic (better).
I bought a Sunbeam BM4500 bread maker recently, to replace an older bread maker which was end-of-life.
This is my third bread maker. The first was a Panasonic, which I bought in 1991. The second was a Breville BB420 purchased around the turn of the century. I'm careful with my stuff, and both have given many years of faithful service.
I'm pretty shocked by the feel of the BM4500. It just feels nasty. Like seriously nasty. There's just no build quality in the unit. Everything has been reduced to the absolute minimum. For example, the thickness of the nut flap in my Breville is 1.85mm, but in the BM4500 it's 0.8mm. And the quality of the non-stick coating is so poor. Even after just one use, the two halves of the mixing paddle have worn through the non-stick coating.
I'll continue to use the unit, but I have no confidence that it will give the long years of good service I got from my previous two. (The FAQ on the Sunbeam website says "The Bread pan should last anywhere between 1-2 years depending on usage". WT actual F?)
https://www.sunbeam.com.au/support/faq
I've tried contacting them three times. I got one emailed form letter back.
This makes me think twice about buying Sunbeam products, and I wonder if I should have bought the Kogan product instead, as it had the same features and was substantially cheaper. Time will tell.
They may have changed then (no surprise [sigh]) because our Sunbeams were older models before we switched to Panasonic. I'm still using one given to me secondhand 7 years ago. it was already well used when I received it. The paddle spindle has become worn and gets stiff so I have to make sure it's lubricated with cooking oil before making bread in it, lol.
I don't understand this. Does it knead the dough? Is it a no-knead process? What's the difference between this and an oven?
Have you seen a breadmaker before? Yes it kneads and bakes. You can use your oven if you prefer.
I'm single too..
