I haven't had a breadmaker before but fancied having a go, mainly to move away from ultra high processed shop bought products. I didn't want to buy new in case it turned out just to be a fad for me so got a hardly used one off ebay. I'm a convert! It's so easy to make, it only takes about 5 minutes to weigh and chuck in the flour, sugar, salt, butter, water and yeast, and it makes perfect bread every time. I use granary flour and the loaves are consistently delicious. You can set the timer for the loaf to be ready in up to 13 hours ahead, and the whole thing is mega easy to clean afterwards. Excellent product!

I bought this bread maker purely on the reviews and I have not been disappointed. It has a good range of programmes that cover all you are ever likely to need. It is easy to use and makes consistently great bread provided you follow the recipes exactly. The seperate dispensers for yeast and seeds or fruit is a good feature. My only criticism would be the rather lightweight, plasticky lids and control panel. For the premium price I had expected better quality.

We purchased this unit to replace our old SD-25 that lasted us over 10 years. We were so pleased with our past unit that we decided to remain with Panasonic despite the much higher price than other units from other manufacturers. This new unit is much more expensive compared to our previous one (inflation adjusted and all). It has exactly the same recipes too! We observe that this unit is now more efficient in terms of ingredient, so less waste overall it would seem. As the title suggests, we are concerned that this unit is not going to last us a decade or more. Indeed, the orientation of the pan is different (moved by 90 degrees). The lid is very heavy and therefore the hinge is now far smaller and wobbly! We are being very careful, and we are trying to teach our kids to be careful also when using this unit, however the hinge feels so flimsy that we fear one hurried use will be all it takes to break it. Consequently we decided to register the unit immediately with Panasonic, hopefully they will be flexible in case of problems. In terms of loaves and breads, everything we have tried so far came out brilliantly. The yeast dispenser is awesome and ensures that the loaves rise correctly.Read full review

A versatile bread maker. Recommended by Which? Many programs for various types of bread all easily selected by program numbers. The delay feature is most useful to ensure freshly baked bread in the morning. You do need the instruction book with a multitude of recipes for not only Bread but for Dough, Cakes Jam and Compote. This instruction/recipe booklet can be downloaded from the Panasonic website

Makes lovely bread but is rather expensive. Will have to make a lot of loaves before it pays for itself but will be worth it in the long run. Looks classy and a good solid bit of kit. Especially like the yeast and fruit/nut dispenser features. Overall, very pleased with my purchase. Never been let down with a Panasonic purchase. Would highly recommend.
