so, I made some bread tonight. It seemed to work really well. But after about 4 minutes of kneading I could detect just a slight whiff of that "overworked electrics" smell IYKWIM. is that normal? I was a bit disappointed as I was well within the maximum load range (it states 2.18kg for bread and i was making a 1kg loaf). It did the job beautifully. But the smell made me a bit sceptical about the quality and longevity of the machine. I'm kinda glad I bought the 5 year extended warranty... Oh, please don't tell me I bought a dud!!!
