Bought one of these 10 months ago to upgrade from my elderly Panasonic machine. Had various issues with poor results but, rather than investigating the issue I carried on with my old one. A few weeks ago I decided to thoroughly check out the new machine. New flour (several types) new yeast, and several packet breads. Followed the instructions to the letter but awful results. Contacted Panasonic Customer Services. Not only were they NOT INTERESTED but their advice was as effective as a cat flap in an elephant house. Useless!!! Thank goodness I’d bought from AO. Spoke to anadvisor and explained the situation. They sent me a new one the next day. This one is perfect! I still think Panasonic bread makers are the best. I just got a rogue machine. The company is awful though. As always AO have proved they never let you down. DON’T BUY FROM ANYONE ELSE!

I haven't used a breadmaking for about 30 years so was somewhat apprehensive. However my first loaf in this Panasonic was dried cranberry and cashew nut which turned out really well. The nut and yeast dispensers are well worth the extra money as the fruit and nuts were evenly distributed throughout the loaf. Next time I won't crush the nuts as much. For a beginner bread maker I thoroughly recommend this model

Excellent product easy to use, first try turned out an amazing loaf family loved it

Fantastic item. My old bread maker died over Christmas and I read the recommendations in Which magazine, which is why I chose this machine. It has moved on a bit since my old one. Lots of options for making different breads and it’s got an over night timer. It is much bigger than my old machine so storage is a problem and the programme takes much longer( 4 hours). I like how the yeast goes in separately too.

Exceeds expectations - makes lovely bread and is very easy to use. We leave it with its ingredients in the evening and the bread is ready and delicious in time for breakfast.

The Panasonic breadmaker is very easy to use and turns out a very good product each time it is used. Easy to load with the ingredients and to follow the instructions given. We are extremely happy with this prouct and would recommend it to any potential purchasera. It is also very easy to keep clean, an essential feature with any kitchen appliance. Totally happy purchasers.

This is our third Panasonic bread maker. We bought the first one 21 years ago! Makes great bread! Lots of different programmes including making Rye bread (which is why I bought it). The blurb said that the machine had been redesigned to fit on kitchen worktops under cupboards but the dimensions showed me that it wouldn't fit under cupboards. It is about 5 mm too tall! I bought it anyway because the previous one wouldn't fit under cupboards either.

Bought this to replace my old bread maker. I’ve only had it a week and used 2 programs (8 & 24). The loaves on program 8 (a 50/50 whole meal fast bake) turned out really well, I used sunflower oil instead of butter. I followed the recipe on program 24 exactly but was disappointed with the result of the focaccia, I would recommend using a different recipe for this. I look forward to using more programs over the coming weeks. I recommend this bread maker.
