How much does it cost to run a breadmaker?
Making bread in a breadmaker doesn’t cost much, at all as they don’t consume much energy. Using the standard program to make a white loaf costs, on average, five pence, and uses around 0.360 kWh of electricity. To put this into perspective, boiling one litre of water in an average kettle uses 0.114 kWh. During our breadmaker tests, we’ve found that there’s a maximum difference of between one to two pence per use between the best and worst machines on test.
