Not much dough for excellent quality
We choose this for its aesthetics, brand reputation, compactness and to blend in with a white kitchen. The bread is excellent as well!

fresh bread smell
Good to get that lovely bread smell. Great on the holidays when you want fresh bread. Fully recommended.

Improvements on previous model
The latest incarnation of the Russell Hobbs basic bread maker. Recipes have changed slightly but old proportions work well. I have always used slightly more yeast than the recipe says. The wholewheat cycle does not have a 30 minute warm up phase so total baking time is shortened. The crust is evenly well-browned, and the loaf came out of the tin easily. Very pleased so far, hope this one lasts as long as its predecessor.
Breadmaker to the masses, 65 or over
Good
Pretty straightforward to use. I have made about 3 loafs so far and as long as you stick to bread flour (strong) rather than basic flour you end up with a nice loaf.

Hello BetsyA,
The supplier has advised the following for the Russell Hobbs Compact Classics Breadmaker 27260.
This breadmaker includes 12 programmes, each designed for a specific type of recipe. The time taken will vary depending on the programme selected, as each includes different stages such as kneading, rising, and baking.
For standard loaves, the Basic/White programme typically takes around 3 hours to 3 hours 20 minutes. Programmes such as French and Whole Wheat run for longer, as these recipes need extra rising time to achieve the correct texture and crust.
If you’re short on time, the Quick/Fast Bake programmes complete a loaf in approximately 85 minutes, although these loaves will be slightly denser due to the reduced rising time.
Some programmes have shorter or fixed cycles:
Dough: About 1.5–2 hours for mixing and rising only (no baking).
Jam: A dedicated cooking cycle for jam preparation.
Bake: A short 1-hour programme to bake previously prepared dough.
Cake: Designed for cake recipes that use baking powder or soda rather than yeast.
Sandwich: A slower bake for a softer crust.
Sweet and Gluten Free: Specialised cycles to suit these recipe types.
Speciality (Program 12): Intended for malt loaf recipes.
The breadmaker also includes a delay timer of up to 13 hours, allowing you to plan baking in advance, and an automatic keep‑warm function that keeps the bread warm for up to 1 hour after baking has finished.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Happy baker.
