Excellent service from AO.com and a brilliant bread maker. Paid for next day delivery however unfortunately was called into the office at short notice. AO.com called me when the courier arrived at my home address and arranged for the parcel to be left with my neighbour. Purchased this panasonic bread maker as my sister in law has one and it came highly recommended. I am not disappointed and thrilled with it new purchase.

So easy to use and makes fabulous bread.

Easy to use and had great results so far. Better than my old one.

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

Very pleased, producing a sell risen loaf

Simply fantastic. Made four different loaves in a week and all turned out perfect. Life changing!!

The Panasonic SD-YR2550SXC Bread Maker has excellent build quality, is sturdy and is accompanied by comprehensive instructions. The casing is brushed stainless steel which merely gets warm during baking, never hot to the touch. The machine looked spotless on unpacking, even before the recommended clean prior to first use. My first loaf, a wholemeal, baked to perfection. The baking basket will stand on digital scales and all ingredients can be added and weighed at the same time, which I found guaranteed accurate amounts of flour, oil and water - measurement accuracy is the key to excellent and reproducible loaves. The control panel is covered with a one-piece surface which means that no dust or flour can ingress. The only improvement that I would make would be to provide some backlighting to the LCD display to make it easy to read clearly even when the kitchen lights are off during the day. After baking, I was able to shake the loaf easily out of the baking basket which has a non-stick surface. Finally, the machine looked perfectly clean after baking! The only bit that really needed cleaning was the baking basket, and even then this was just around the kneading blade which required just an 8-minute soak to free (I poured just a little warm water into the basket to do this). Panasonic Bread Makers always score well in Which? and judging by mine I can understand why. So I'm very pleased with the Bread Maker and would recommend it.
