Club Breadmakers

Oh Bluesky was such a steal, it was only about $59.90 or $69.90 only. Now you understand my angst over this Zojirushi when I am not clear if it can do a job as well as Bluesky.

Totally agree that the Bluesky was a steal for that price! I bought my first Bluesky at $59.90 too and the best part was that the blade got stuck one month before the warranty expired and when I called up Carrefour, they told me that they no longer had the $59.90 model for sale and asked me to bring my machine down, topped up a bit more and they gave me a brand new Bluesky, the newer stainless steel model! :celebrate: That was very nice gesture and customer service.

Thanks ksi! I just knew you missed my earlier post since this thread moves so fast. :love:


Okay, thanks for the tips, will be on the look out for henkels knives so can revert to my freshly baked loaves! I used a so-call bread slicing knife, but that didn't really do the trick, so gave up baking loaves in the end.

Like you said, I miss the aroma of freshly baked bread in the house! :drool: Alamak, die liao! All thanks to this thread, now my hands are itching for freshly baked bread and homemade kaya! :?:

Oh yes, you should give those buns a try! Worth the effort and we get to decide how much filling goes into them! :celebrate:

Yes bake more...and fill the house with the lovely aroma... We just love bread so much! :love:

When I start on the sweet buns, you have to be my consultant already....can?

Yes, that was a double steal for that Bluesky and I am still impressed by what Carrefour did! :love: Think my first $59.90 also died of constant abuse by my heavy baking!

Hi, after reading all your posts, I'm so tempted to buy the Bluesky bread maker. Can it only be found in Carrefour? Anywhere else that carries this brand? Many thanks

Bluesky was the housebrand of Carrefour, but unfortunately, they are no longer carrying this breadmachine. Not sure about other range of things from Bluesky, but definitely no more Bluesky breadmachine from there and because Bluesky is the housebrand of Carrefour, you won't be able to find it elsewhere.

Hmm so based on your experience, the next best option would be Zojirushi or Panasonic?

No experience with Panasonic, so no comments, but for Zojirushi, I have nothing to say about the breadmachine though I know that it is a rather high end product and my only comments is that Zojirushi products lasts, provided they are from Japan, that is.

Just remembered a story, much to the dismay of Blobbi and schweppes .... :evil: Zojirushi breadmachines (those really made in Japan) are really made to last! :lol: :lol:


I was a member of a cooking/baking forum a few years back and same thing like here, there was a hot thread about breadmachines and the usefulness of the different brands etc.

One lady said her husband bought a Zojirushi breadmachine from Sungei Road for only $10! Whatever for? :? From Sungei Road somemore, she commented! :x But her husband laughed it off, said he found the machine 'cute' and 'in good condition', so bought it home, more for the fun of it than the usefulness of the machine which he didn't know about! :lol: He likes to meddle with such gadgets, you see!

Okay, so since the husband brought home that machine, the wife decided to play around with it and was very surprised that it worked and found out that the machine was very useful in helping her make pineapple jam for pineapple tarts! And at that time when she posted that post, she already had that $10 Zojirushi machine for a few years! :lol: :lol: So how lasting a Zojirushi machine is, is for Blobbi and schweppes to go figure! :evil: :lol: :lol:
