I invested some of my amazon vouchers from my dooyoo miles and spent a bit more in buying the Panasonic SD254 breadmaker a month or so back and read on to see what I have to share with you(sorry its not the bread itself). Whats in the package: ------------------------ The machine itself which is white and would look lovely in most kitchen. It looked huge in the picture on the website but isn't that big once out of the package .Sitting smugly on my kitchen counter its dimensions being .. w=10", l=10" and a height of 14" is just the right size for a medium sized kitchen. It weighs roughly around 7.75kgs, so not it can be ...  Read the complete review

OVERVIEW My Panasonic SD254 is probably one of my most used kitchen appliances due to its size and versatility. DESIGN The bread maker has a cool to touch outer casing which is useful if you have small children. Although the casing does become warm, you can place your hand on it without it burning. The casing is very sleek and only takes up a small amount of space (37cm tall x 28cm wide x 33cm deep). The unit only weighs 6.8kg so is light enough to lift in and out of a cupboard if you do not have room to store on your work surface area. When you open the lid you will see a small metal 'bucket' with a paddle in the bottom. This element ...  Read the complete review

We absolutely love bread in our house and can get through a loaf practically in one day. On of the things we put on our wedding list, six years ago now was a breadmaker and I'm pleased to say ours is still functioning perfectly and cooking up lovely loaves of bread for us. We have the Panasonic SD-254 which is a fairly simple machine but that is something I definitely wanted, I didn't want something too complicated with lots of buttons and functions and possibility to go wrong. The machine is a basic white product with a lid that opens up with the help of a hinge at the back. ITs a little bit bulky but is actually fairly thin so it sits on our counter top in ...  Read the complete review

I love homemade bread but despite being an otherwise good cook have always found making it by hand very hit and miss. When I decided to get a breadmaker after realising that they not only make the whole process very easy but save a fortune compared to hsop bought bread (a loaf costs around 30p including the electricity) I spent a long time checking online to find out about them. Despite the higher price this one stood out amongst the rest and so I decided to invest the extra money for it. I'm very glad I did. I've seen several other people I know have very little success with cheaper breadmakers yet I've never had a bad loaf. ...  Read the complete review

I thought long and hard before investing in this panasonic breadmaker. It is more expensive than many on the market but I have to say it was worthy investment. I have had this machine now for just over a month and I have not bought any bread or rolls since then. The machine is easy to use and consistenly produces lovely smelling and tasting fresh bread. I have tried most of the settings now and the bread, pizza bases, rolls have all been delicious. I have tried several of the cake/loaf recipes from the book and these have all been delicious as well. I have not missed the seed dispenser or rye flour blade in the SD255 model and I have glad I saved myself ...  Read the complete review
