Fantastic. I’m a keen and experienced baker, I make my own sourdough, but the process I prefer take 48 hours from start to finish. Sometimes there is a need for faster bread and this machine delivers splendidly. My favourite is the french program, long enough to use sourdough together with a bit of yest, it makes fantastic crusty bread. The bread kneading manual program is so effective I prefer to use it to make panettone (very difficult dough) to my Kenwood cooking chef. It takes the bread machine only half the time and has spectacular results, never have had such a beautifully developed panettone dough before. Highly recommend this Panasonic breadmaker.

Awesome piece of kit and so much better than my original one. Very simple to setup and use and makes perfect loaves every time. AO support was also fantastic as the first unit arrived with a dent in the side but after one short phone call I had a replacement unit just three days later. I have used AO before and have to say they have some of the best support I have ever encoutered.

Glad I bought another Panasonic. This is the third Panasonic I’ve purchased over many years. The first I loved, the second was ok but the shape of the machine had changed and I thought the bread didn’t quite meet my expectations as the first one had, but the reviews were good for this latest one as they always are with a Panasonic so I caved. I am so glad I did. The bread is excellent in appearance and taste. I haven’t used all the recipes yet, just a few but all very successful. I will say though that this machine is rather large so take note of the measurements to be sure it’s right for you. The other thing to note is that I am quite short (5’1”) and I have to stand on tip toe to read the display panel properly but I really don’t mind that because I am so pleased with the end result. It looks good, it’s quiet and I love it.

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.

Love this product! Only had it a week and baked one white batch, two wholemeal and one sundried tomato and olive loaf! It couldn't be any easier to use (I've never baked bread in my life, so it had to be easy). The bread is perfect and toasts beautifully. Would highly recommend this product

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.

Arrived on time, used twice so far and seems to work OK. Lots of options to get used to but we knew that when we chose this model. Bigger and heavier than the previous one we had but feels much more substantial (and is much quieter in operation). Overall impressed.
