With its sleek design and robust build, it not only looks great but also performs exceptionally well.The bread maker features a stylish chrome finish that fits well with other appliances in my kitchen, and feels sturdy. It is a bit bulky, so finding a permanent spot on the countertop was challenging, but its performance more than makes up for this. The machine comes with two paddles, one for sourdough and another for other types of bread, which is a thoughtful addition.This bread maker has an impressive 31 settings, allowing you to make a wide variety of bread, including gluten-free options, pizza dough, and even cakes. I have only made a few white loafs and the Italian is my favourite so far for taste and minimal ingredients vs store bread.I find it is user-friendly, with a simple button selection and a clear LCD screen. ( if you worktops are tall and you are short it might be a challenge). The instructions are easy to follow, making it suitable even for novice bakers. Cleaning is straightforward, although the bread pan is not dishwasher safe, but I love how it just wipes clean with a damp cloth.In terms of performance, this bread maker delivers delicious results consistently. The bread comes out with a perfect crust and texture every time, and as expected tastes nice and fresh, while filling the house with that lovely bread smell. It is relatively quiet during operation, although it can be a bit noisy during the kneading process. I love all the different options for the size of the bread and you can have a fully baked loaf in under 2 hours if needed.While the bread maker is on the pricier side, it offers excellent value for money given its versatility and the quality of the bread it produces. It is a cost-effective and healthier alternative to store-bought bread, especially if you use it regularly, so far I am using it twice a week with no issues.I am very satisfied with the Panasonic SD-YR2550 Bread Maker. It is a reliable, versatile, and high-quality appliance that has made baking bread at home a joy. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable bread maker.

Incorporating my favourite ingredients like sundried tomatoes and black olives has never been easier, thanks to this machine's intuitive design and functionality.One of the standout features of this breadmaker is its horizontal design, which not only saves counter space but also produces bread that closely resembles traditional loaves in shape and appearance.

Superb bread machine, which produces excellent loaves - every time !! (Make sure you always use top-quality flour though. (I use Marriages Canadian Flour, which is available from Bolo - it’s really good stuff). This machine is very easy and uncomplicated to use and it also has a useful delay start function to take advantage of any overnight cheap rate energy deals. - All the provided bread recipe’s (included with the machine) that I’ve tried have all produced very good and pleasing results. Loaves are easy to remove from the baking tin, which is also very easy to clean. Bang goes my diet! Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST buy for anyone who eats bread!

Incredible! Who knew you could make and bake a loaf of fabulous bread just by putting the ingredients into a bowl and pressing play?!Having faffed about in the past kneading and waiting for dough to rise and then kneading again and again, now I can sit back and relax (some more!) and have the bread made. Amazing technology. Why not make use of technological developments - we now use vacuum cleaners and dishwashers don't we - so why do we have to make life difficult to bake a loaf of bread.Could not be more pleased at how simple it is to use and how fantastic it is to have a lovely loaf of fresh bread every few days. It is much, much cheaper than store bought bread as well.May be some storage problems as it is quite large; also screen is difficult to view for someone not 6' tall but its benefits far outweigh those issues.

Super Brotbackomat

Ich bin wirklich begeistert. Die Brote sind immer super. Der Teig ist einfach wirklich gut gemacht. Der Brotbackautomat schafft es den Teig immer irgendwie schön sämig zu rühren. Entsprechend ist der Brotteig nach dem Backen absolut homogen perfekt. Keine grösseren Luftlöcher oder irgendwelche Makel.Was ich ebenfalls gut finde ist, dass der rührer, also dieser propeller, wie ein stumpfes messer ist, dadurch schneidet es sich in 80% der Fälle durch den Brotteig sobald man das Brot aus dem Schüssel kippt. Das finde ich ganz praktisch.Ansonsten hat es relativ viele programme und einige gimmicks, wie Rosinen streuer oder hefe streuer, aber da ich meistens nur brotbackmischungen verwende, ist das mir persönlich relativ egal. Ausprobiert hab ich es aber und es funktioniert ansich auch einwandfrei. Hatten auch mal Kuchenteig zusammenrühren lassen, klappt auch ganz gut. Das Backergebnis ist übrigens auch gleichmässig, mit 3 bräunungstufen. Kann ich somit empfehlen.
