Okay, so I was THIS close to buying a whole new bread maker because my trusty Kenwood BM450's pan was completely worn out after 15 years of loyal service. Then I found this replacement pan and paddle set - total game changer!

The ordering process was a bit confusing though. Why call it a 'cake mold' in the description when it's clearly for bread machines? Had to double-check the serial number compatibility (must be <11C13). Also weird that the pan and paddle came from different suppliers - got them separately via post.

But here's the good part: It fits PERFECTLY! My machine works like new again. The pan needed slight filing on some rough edges, but that took 2 minutes with a metal file. Now we're back to baking perfect loaves every weekend.

If you're holding onto an old Kenwood bread maker, don't replace the whole unit - just get this pan! It's saved me hundreds on a new machine. Five stars for keeping my kitchen classic alive!
