Silvercrest bread maker £34.99 instore @ Lidl
Silvercrest bread maker from Lidl at £34.99. It has good review, makes normal and gluten-free bread, as well as jam and pasta. There is also a video demo on the Lidl website. I understand that breadmaking may not be everyone's cup of tea but it seems a good buy.

However, if you're after one now on the cheap, this is a no-brainier.
Technically its not so good deal as it seems - there are much better bread machines for not much higher price, but there is lot of much worse machines for much higher price as well. Machine is decent, but its not really bargain. The only thing which will make it worth and nice deal is 3 years warranty.

Head added, btw
I make bread dough in mine then cook it in the oven after letting it rise even more, you can get huge loaves that way.
It's rated at 850W. When they are in the baking phase, it is heating for about 50% of the time. Rest of the time, it is Kneading / Resting / Rising and not using a lot. So I would guess total power would be:-
approx 175Whr Kneading / Resting / Rising - 2-3 hrs
approx 425Whr Baking - 1hr
So about 600Whr total or 0.6 units or about 9p assuming your unit cost is 15p
HTH

Not very useful comment, what are the technical differences? They have exactly the same functions, the same basic design, the same principles. The only differences are the badge on top. The 3 years warranty is extremely important. And why isn't this a bargain? Is there any other bread maker on the market that is cheaper? Let alone the quality (which is not bad, most things from Lidl/Aldi are decent quality) and 3 years warranty.
I've read the reviews at the review centre for this machine and two people say that the programming allows you to remove the paddles before the final rise - which is another plus.
I shall be buying one of these this afternoon - heat added :)
