bread machine with minor defects (Hillfields BS16)

This is a Morphy Richards FastBake bread machine.

We've listed it as 'minor defects', because it has some flaws but is still usable. The short version is that it definitely isn't as good as a brand-new machine but also definitely better than no bread machine at all!

The main problem is that the seal around the paddle is loose/missing, so dough is able to drip down into the mechanism. We have been able to continue using it like this for several years by putting the flour and other dry ingredients in first, to minimise leaking, and cleaning out the inside semi-regularly. We also avoid using it on timer mode.

We also occasionally find that some dry flour remains in the corners of the loaf - but we can avoid this happening either by using a little extra water, or by using a spoon in the early stages of the bread cycle to help the machine stir into the corners.

The final, much more minor issue is that one patch of the bread tin is scratched, which means it isn't properly non-stick anymore, so you have to bash the tin a bit to get the bread out.

So overall, it's far from perfect but still usable if you are OK with these work-arounds.

Can supply a copy of the manual with it. The basic bread cycle takes 3 hours and uses about 0.39kWh total.

When listing options for pickup times, please give at least one option that isn't short notice.
