I tried Lakeland's bread maker with sales 776 percent up and here's my honest review

Sales surged 776% year-on-year as 31% of UK adults cook from scratch more than a year ago, driven by convenience and features like gluten-free settings.

  • Recent data shows Lakeland reported a 776% year-on-year sales increase for its Compact Loaf Bread Maker, a £69.99 appliance measuring 31 x 21.5 x 25cm that produces a 1lb loaf.
  • A recent Lakeland survey found 31% of UK adults say they are cooking from scratch more than a year ago, rising to 35% versus two years and 44% versus five years, which Lakeland linked to booming sales of small appliances.
  • The Compact Loaf offers 11 presets, a knead-only setting, and a delay-start timer with tactile controls and a recipe booklet.
  • After a few weeks of use, customers say the machine becomes part of weekly routines, providing warm breakfasts but may not suit households feeding four or five.
  • Beyond sales figures, Lakeland's social channels increased exposure for the bread maker, supporting a broader shift toward cooking from scratch and ingredient control, Lakeland said.
