Item is sturdy. Instructions are easy to follow. Daughter couldn't believe how much nicer fresh bread tasted. Have a happy husband and daughter. Just wished I got one years ago!

Pros: Several programs available Quality materials Cons: enormous dimensions short mains lead pricey

Does everything it says on the tin. We've had several bread makers in the past, but value for money, this is the best yet. Highly recommended.

Excellent bread maker have previously used panasonic and always been happy with products

Bakes great tasting bread with no effort, tip the ingredients in and push a few buttons, that's it.

Well made with a good heavy bread pan. Our favourite loaf is a seeded wholemeal with pumpkin and sunflower seeds,which turned out very nice. It had a good crust and was tender and evenly cooked inside. We have had cheaper bread makers in the past but this is far superior and if ever needed we will buy Panasonic again.

I did a little research before purchasing, a friend has one of these, so far I am delighted with it. Very easy to use, with fresh ingredients, following the instructions exactly, finished loaf has come out perfect each time. I haven't played around with various settings and recipes yet but will do. Perfect for our small household. My only criticism is that I wish the digital display was backlit, I find it hard to see. And the unit is quite large.

So far so good, perfect loaves produced, but only used packet mixes so far to get used to it, so hopefully with a bit more experience and courage I will be making my own in no time. But simple to use, instructions are spot on and lots of recipes to choose from. No complaints so far!
