Great bread machine, that makes a superb loaf. The default basic-white programme takes 4h, but to be honest I cannot tell the difference in quality with the rapid programme at just 2h (just follow instructions and use more yeast). The only criticism I have is that when the machine dispenses the yeast from the top hopper it is REALLY noisy. Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang.... sounds like someone is hammering at the house door.

I’ve bought this to make keto bread. It’s easy to use and very easy to clean. Unfortunately there aren’t any keto bread recipes included, but there loads of other bread recipes to try in the manual. I’m very happy with how well it bakes bread and would recommend.

Great product. Panasonic make exceedingly good bread machines.

Excellent easy to use with fantastic results

The Panasonic brradmaker came highly recommended. I also checked out additional reviews and ordered the 2550 I now understand why it's got so many recommendations. It's easy to use and the quality of the breads that it makes is superb. There is an ample supply of recipes in the book provided and all correspond to a number on the digital menu screen. The instructions are simple and comprehensive. I've made my own breads for years..this free's up my time. Lovely to wake up to fresh bread. I couldn't be more pleased!

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.
