Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Bread Makers
We purchased this model some 20 years ago and it gave us great service until just recently when like us I think was getting too old to function at its usual first class rate. We then purchased the latest Panasonic model with nut dispenser etc., and many more functions than the SD-251 but even though it had several more functions we opted to purchase this older SD-251 Model again even though it was "second-hand" we are now delighted with the results. The more up-to-date Model is now being used by our daughter who is making every bread recipe one could think of with EXCELLENT results. I guess it was the change of models NOT THE RESULTS of these wonderful machines that we could not handle. Most of our electrical appliances are Panasonic and we rate them first class in all.
I’ve had one of these machines in regular use for more than fifteen years. I have purchased this second hand machine in very good order as a replacement. Very happy with purchase so far.

I bought a breadmaker because I was fed up with loaves that tasted like cardboard and lasted for a freakishly long time - bread should go off surely? The Panasonic SD-251 was well reviewed and competitively priced so we went for it. Since then (Summer 2008) I have used it every day and it has never let me down - its fantastic!! Easy to use, quick and very reliable and the bread is delicious. You can program it so that you have a loaf ready in the morning and there is a rapid setting for when you need bread in a hurry. Couldn't recommend it more highly.
This is my second SD-251 (both second hand) - never had an issue with them. It always seems to be cheaper to buy a used one from ebay than buying a replacement part (in this case I was after a new breadpan...but bought a whole new maker for less than half the price).

I bought this bread maker to replace a Panasonic I have been using every week for the last 12 years. The bread pan became scratched and was expensive to replace although the machine was still in working order. This model makes perfect bread every time, even on rapid bake. I wouldn't consider another make.......... especially at the bargain price I paid for it on eBay!
