o.uk...
This thing uses a teflon-lined bucket to make the bread in. You chuck all
the ingredients in, it stirs it about, then cooks it. So you can't line
it, and any greasing will be off by the time the bread is cooked.

Most of the manufacturers seem to regard the bucket as a consumable - and
you can get replacements. Expensive, but you can get them.

I've never had the bucket fail. I have had the
bearing seal where the paddle goes thru fail.

Not Lakeland. A big black mark in my book.

Does any one happen to know who else uses the same design of bucket as a
Lakeland My Kitchen Compact Breadmaker? Before I go out and buy another
one from a company that does do spares?

I dont bother with spares, get another from
a yard/boot sale for much less money.
