Features and settings
According to Yimbly, the compact countertop appliance is designed to help home bakers make fresh bread without fuss. It is powered by a 600W motor and offers a 2lb capacity, described as ideal for feeding the whole family.
The '19-in-1' bread maker includes 19 pre-programmed settings, allowing users to create everything from speciality loaves to basic doughs. It also features three crust control options, letting the user select a light, medium, or dark finish for every bake.
Inside the machine, a non-stick bread pan and kneading blade ensure that the loaf slips out easily when ready to cool and eat. This practical design means washing up is fast.
Convenience functions
The bread maker also features a 15-hour programmable delay, which can be used to prepare ingredients at night for freshly baked bread in the morning. If the power drops, a 10-minute memory function ensures the baking cycle picks up where it left off.
Once the bread is baked, an automatic 60-minute keep-warm function holds the loaf at serving temperature. The machine comes with a measuring cup, spoon and kneading attachments.
Alternative options
Shoppers looking for a larger capacity bread maker might consider the larger 25-inch Spector Bread Maker, also available from Yimbly. The stainless steel appliance is reduced from £137.99 to £109.99, and with code AUTUMN10 the price drops further to £98.99. This model features 25 smart programs, touch controls, an LCD display and three distinct loaf sizes.

Shopper feedback
While there are currently no reviews on the Yimbly website for the Spector Automatic Bread Maker Machine, shoppers have been sharing feedback on Amazon. One buyer called it a "very impressive machine", adding: "I've been making my own bread since lockdown, and my last machine gave up the ghost a few days ago. This machine has surpassed it. I've made two loaves since purchasing and both have turned out well."
Another said: "I wasn't expecting much from this bread maker because how cheap it is, but I can honestly say it's really good and well worth the money, I made my first loaf, and it turned out better than I expected, you put your ingredients in and let it do it's job, would highly recommend this to anyone wishing to make their own bread."
A third explained: "Delay timer is a game changer. I have made 5 loaves of bread so far, all of which have come out beautifully. I used the delay timer to make a loaf for the morning, and another time I made poppy & sesame for when we got home from work."
One buyer was less impressed, noting: "Nice and compact, however, it does not have a clear sough dough function, so it's a bit hit and miss."
Another buyer was impressed by how easy it was to use, saying: "Lovely little machine, so easy to use and perfect for my daughter and me. We make fresh bread every other day, and it tastes delicious. Not too noisy either. Best machine I've bought for a long time. I would recommend it."
