General Comments

I have owned a Morphy Richards bread maker for some time but have never been happy with it. A friend of mine is well into bread making and he recommended the Panasonic, so I looked at Amazon and found two models, the SD252 and the SD253.I chose the 252 because I didn't want the automatic nut dispenser which the 253 has and it is over £20 cheaper.
Amazon were way cheaper than anyone on the net and their service is spot on.
I received the machine today, (Wed) plugged it in, read the instructions, put in the ingredients and stood back. I used the quick bake prog. (1.55mins) as I wanted to see the results.....
The 1st thing that struck me was how quiet it was, my previous machine banged and shook so much I had to lock it in the kitchen if I put it on timer overnight. This one just hums with a quiet swishing.
The quality of the 252 is superb, easy to read push buttons and measuring tools and most important, the bread!!!!! What can I say? Despite all attempts the Morphy Richards just made small bread flavoured house bricks, this one makes bread that defies belief in flavour, texture and size (I made the large size, God knows what the X large will be like)
The old machine left the paddle in the bread which meant digging it out and ruining the loaf. Not so the 252, out popped the loaf with hardly a blemish underneath with the paddle still on its spindle.
To finish either Panasonic models will give the same superb results, but I just couldn't justify the extra for the 253.
Don't even consider any other make and get it from Amazon.
