Panasonic SD255

We were bought a Delonghi bread maker for Christmas but found that when we opened it, it felt like a piece of cheap tat... certainly not something I'd have thought would be the case with a Delonghi product. I had a look on the Argos website and spotted that the Panasonic SD255 machine had a brilliant 5/5 star rating and was selling at £97.89 - only approximately £5 more than the cost of the Delonghi one, so we exchanged the Delonghi machine for the Panasonic one and are so glad we did; I shall proceed to tell you why. Firstly, it's so easy to operate... I was very apprehensive that I'd end up choosing the wrong settings thus making brick loaves that tasted ...  Read the complete review

Panasonic SD255 Bread maker I bought this bread maker about 5 months ago after my old breadworks gave up the ghost. I have one word to describe it "Brilliant!!". First Impressions I have to admit i'm not one for really reading instructions I refer to just get stuck in and see if I can figure what to do next on my own. I opened the box and unpacked the bread maker from its ample protective box and polystyrene packaging and polythene wrapper. The bread maker comes with a soft back paper recipe book with plenty of recipes to get you going, two kneading blades (one for dough making and one for making bread). Also included are ...  Read the complete review

Ahh, nothing is better than the smell of fresh bread in the morning, well at any time really, and if you can make it in your own home then even better. I received a Panasonic Breadmaker for one of my wedding gifts last year and now make bread all the time so if you are thinking about getting one but thinking you might not use it I definitely recommend getting one as you will find you really will use it. I have the Panasonic SD-255/SD254. It was bought from John Lewis and I think it's about £80 to buy which ok is a pricey outlay but you definitely get your moneys worth. It is an upright machine (meaning you load the ingredients in the top), it's ...  Read the complete review

After using a Lidl bread maker for the past 3 years I finally upgraded to the Panasonic SD255. Wow what a difference! With the Lidl bread maker I would use it for pizza dough and 2 or 3 loafs a week. The bread paddles in my old bread maker always stuck in the bread. Which meant after fishing around for them there would be two fairly big holes in the loaf. Since buying my Panasonic SD255 a month ago, I haven't bought any bread. I've made white, wholemeal, 50/50, dough, fruit loafs and loads more. All without a single failure. The quality of the bread is in a completely different league and easily competes with any artisan shop bread. All 6 in our family love ...  Read the complete review

Like many others, I went through a few breadmakers before finally finding the "Panny", as it's affectionately referred to in my house. My previous machines had been good at producing housebricks, but not a lot else. I approached the Panny with trepidation. Was this going to be another mistake? Not one bit! The Panny produces perfect bread, every single time, so long as you follow the instructions and the recipes! Handily there are recipes for all kinds of speciality breads as well as your common-or-garden white and wholemeal loaves. Fancy making pizzas, ciabattas, rye breads, or even doughnuts or cakes? No problem, the instruction guide contains ...  Read the complete review
