Panasonic SD-YD250 Bread Machine

Pros: perfect loaves everytime
Cons: We are eating way too much bread! :>)

I fought with several other brands of bread machines (having disaster after disaster) before buying my Panasonic 3 years ago. I make bread at least twice a week. I have never had a failed loaf with this machine (except for the time I forgot to put the...

Pros: excellent bread, beautiful domed crust, great manual, recipes for three sizes, solid construction
Cons: it's really more vertical than horizontal, except for the smallest size

I did a lot of online research and decided to go with Panasonic -- I have never had a bad experience with that company, and the reviews looked good. I ordered from Amazon, which means free shipping and good reliability. I never had any complaints about ...

Pros:  - Timer feature  - Lots of options  - Recipe book included
Cons:  - Blade removal occasionally difficult - Beeping - Can't use timer for dough

I would make two loaves a day just to keep the kitchen smelling like freshly baked bread! I purchased this machine, the Panasonic SD-YD250,  for my parents because it is going to be kept in a vacation home in location where a loaf of regular ...

Pros: Produces great bread every time, lots of included recipies and options. 
Cons: No viewing window, noisy and rattles when mixing. mixing arm easily scratched/scuffed.

I have grown up with bread machines in the house so I guess it seems fitting that after I got married that I should get one.   My parents purchased an old Hitachi when I was a kid and so I became familiar with fresh baked bread.  The ...

Pros: Makes excellent bread...when it works
Cons: Poor repair history

I bought this Panasonic Bread Machine nearly 2 years ago and found it just as good as everyone here says it is. I used it quite often; about 2-3 times per week. Now it's broken down. The paddle isn't working as it should and making loud squeaky noises. I...

Pros: Easy enough to use. Makes good bread.
Cons: Needs a louder beeper. Long cycles. Panasonic has lousy customer service.

This is my second Panasonic breadmaker. My first one which was almost identical except it didn't have a yeast dispenser, died after 3 years of use some years ago. Otherwise there have been no significant changes to the bread machine. I bought my first ...

Pros: Makes wonderful smelling and tasting bread
Cons: More expensive than most bread machines

I did a lot of research before I bought this specific bread machine, and I think it was worth the trouble. This machine really makes great bread! It is super-easy to use and even a bread-making virgin can make a delicious loaf of bread with little fuss...

Pros: easy, works so well
Cons: large machine takes up precious counter space

I received this bread machine from my mother-in-law after she purchased a newer bread machine. At first I thought I would never use it, I figured it would be difficult and messy and simply unnecessary. I was so wrong.

With a little...

Pros: Durable and easy to use
Cons: A little expensive

I have owned my bread maker for about 6 months now. My husband bought it for me as a gift. I love it. I'm one that can't cook a lot of yummy things without burning them or totally messing them up. Now I can make all different kinds of breads, donuts,...

Pros: Ease of use
Cons: hole in bottom of loaf, when sliced not noticable as much

Several years ago I was after my husband to buy me one of these machines. He was very hesitant saying that it would never get used, like so many other appliances in our kitchen.
Boy was he in for a surprise. This is only the easiest machine to use...

Pros: Adds yeast at the right time, not at the beginning like the other machines
Cons: Leaves a hole in the loaf where the mixing blade is.

I bought the Panasonic bread maker because a friend of my had one. We were both on the "Sugar busters diet" and was having trouble finding ready made bread that was allowed. Not only can you make it exactly as "Sugar busters"...

Pros: large 2 lb. loaf,efficient yeast dispenser
Cons: none so far, years after receiving it.

This bread baker is FABULOUS!

I use to have a 1 lb machine. The Panasonic Automatic Bread Machine was given to us a few years ago as a wedding present and quickly showed how wonderful it really is. The yeast falls out completely EVERY...

Pros: Great results, whole wheat powerhouse
Cons: Longer bake times, no express cycle

This is my 3rd bread machine (1st was a Regal - no longer available - that I loved and went to the other party in a separation, the 2nd was an Oster, a dud that lasted 2 days before being returned). The Panasonic uses 2 tricks that turn out the BEST...

Pros: easy, nutritious possibilities and great pizza
Cons: no timer for dough setting

I bought this product because I felt it would be a healthy alternative to buying store-bought processed breads. Also, we had gotten into the habit of buying frozen pizzas and eating many during a given week. I felt we would save money in the long run by...

Pros: Delicious!
Cons: Don't burn yourself!

When my mom replaced her old bread maker with the Panasonic Automatic Bread Maker, I was hesitant. The price was deffinate cause for pause. However, the Panasonic machine blew the other out of the water. The machine is convenient to use... put in the...
