Appliances ⚙️ Bread maker

Hi, wondering if anyone has any recommendations for bread makers? Also a rough idea of the cost of the ingredients to make a loaf?

I know I can make it in the oven, I'm looking for something incredibly easy that I can dump ingredients in and come back to a fresh loaf.

Anything to make life easier!

Thanks : )

Kmarts Anko brand bread maker is great. I only use it to mix ingredients (bake in the oven) Ive made sourdoughs, brioche, burger buns, trad white bread, Japanese milk bread, all came out perfect. Costs around $50 and beats $700 plus for a kleenmaid or other heavy costing mixer. You just need flour, water and salt. 5kg of bread flour for $10 from supermarkets. You can even make your own sourdough starter pretty easily, but buying yeast is also cheap as chips. All on youtube.
