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.

It's a good size and ots better than my old one, it does more and very good machine

This is a smart looking machine and although, so far, I’ve only used it three times (2 white loaves and one whole meal) I am very pleased with the results. All the loaves were well risen with a good crust and very tasty. I am looking forward to trying the sourdough recipe next. I haven’t tried the dough mode yet but I am confident it will produce equally good results. I have had two previous Panasonic bread machines but I think this one is the best so far.

Great quality, reasonable priced breadmaking. I love the many functions especially the nut and yeast dispensers. First make was a medium white loaf which was light and soft.

Great quality product
