Even on the quickest setting this produced the nicest loaf of bread I think I’ve ever eaten.

Really simple and easy to use, with a great range of programmes.

Bought this to replace my previous Panasonic which is still working fine after 10 years of twice-weekly use (the new stainless one matches our other appliances). Had the one before that for 10 years too! Only baked a couple of loaves but they are just as good as with the previous machine. Interesting that the provided recipies use more salt and sugar than previous but I stick to my own with great results. The display can be a bit tricky to see and would benefit from being illuminated. Quiet in use with a good loud beep to alert when finished. I've assumed that reliability will be as good as the previous one.

Impressed so far, consistently good loaves.

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.

Perfect Bread. Been using bread mixes and it cooks a great loaf. Easy to clean too.

Appears to tick all the boxes as to what is required of a bread maker but is a Christmas present so I'm not aware yet of how it performs.Christmas

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.
