bread making machine wanted

I made the mistake of telling my elderly (103) blind friend that I had made bread.. Now she wants to make her own... ( No it is not the same as me making it for her)! she is very determined.. but I don't think she is up to kneading!However I do know her well and I am reluctant to go and buy her a bread making machine as I am not sure if this is the best idea?  (She bought a liquidizer from a catalogue and cannot use it on her own) Does anyone have one in the cupboard under the stairs they don't want?So we can experiment and see if this is a good idea... alternatively can any one recommend a brand of machine that is easy to use,  i.e. not too many dials!  and that is relatively inexpensive...thanks

WE haven't one to give but we are on our second Panasonic. the first lasted 8 years with regular use. We are very happy with it. This new one, you throw in the ingredients and select the number of the recipe which is listed in the booklet then press start. The results are great and I believe there is less salt and sugar than the shop bought ones.
