I've only tried the "Basic Loaf", so far. Following the recipe, in the manual, I found that it tasted too sweet and too buttery. After altering the recipe to suit my taste, the bread comes out very good. Light, soft and airy. Soft or crisp crust option. Plenty of programmmes to choose from. I've had a bread maker in the past, needed to adjust recipe supplied with that one. Looking forward to trying out the machine's other capabilities. I'd recomend this Bread Maker.

Great bread maker. I chose the simplest as I just want to make bread! I’ve tried various settings and programmes and all have had great results. The smell of fresh bread in the mornings is amazing and as well as tasting so much better it’s way cheaper than buying bread for just 5 minutes prep time and fresher too. Machine was delivered quickly, is easy to work - very pleased!

Great machine. Very easy to use, you just need to learn what the buttons do and how they will alter your final loaf of bread. The bread does come out really big so do expect some massive sandwiches in your future! I'm up to loaf #9 in 2-3 weeks and they've all turned out great so far, even when one was a bit of a flop and didn't rise all the way, somehow it still ended up great. Overall this seems like a machine that will get a lot of use and with it being so simple to use, it's more likely to keep being used.

Good quality item for the price. It does all I need and more. So quiet, unlike my last one, you hardly know that it’s working. The finished product is some of the best bread I’ve tasted and has the facility to make large loaves. I will have to watch my diet!

Bought as a present and buying a second one

This bread maker hasn’t got all the bells and whistles but for the price it turns out excellent loaves. Best bread maker I’ve ever had!

Great, first wholeweat loaf was perfect, previously we had a Morphy Richards bread maker but it kept failing to produce satifactory wholeweat loaf. Thanks to Panasonic for a great product.

Lots of options for different breads, recipes easy to follow.
