I bought this machine mainly for mix and raise dough. I was expecting to be able to control the functions like you could do to a washing machine. eg, sometimes i would like the machine just do mixing or mixing a bit longer but i can't do it. i like use the machine to do a quick dough, but i can't. you have to wait for the rest time. On the machine, the only thing you can see is numbers and you need to have the instruction book with you all the time. With out the instruction book you would... (read more)
“9 years good service”
Written on: 17/03/2012 by Burdieuk
After 9 years making 2 loafs a week we are going to buy new, after a couple of bearing hub replacements because we had worn them out we have decided that perhaps a new pan and bearing would be better spent on a new machine. This is an absolutely fabulous machine, this is our second, we would not be without one. BUT you MUST weigh out the ingredients accurately or it will give you a bad loaf. (read more)

No problems at all, every loaf a winner. (Unless I forget to put the yeast in then it makes lovely cricket balls. This has only happened once)
The quantities are very important so the recipes must be followed to the letter for success, doing this always results in a good loaf.

My second Panasonic breadmaker. Wore the first out after 7 years and thousands of loaves. This one is almost as good to use and I think its direct drive so very heavy wholemeal doesnt damage the drive belt like in the old one.
Make all kinds of bread (heavy and light), dough, cakes.
Sometimes forget to do something and get a mess but it's always my mistake for not following the instructions or leaving out an ingredient (or the paddle!).

PANASONIC 255 Bread Maker
I started bread making with a cheap brand to see if I liked and got on with it. It was great, so I moved up the ladder a bit & got a Morphy Richards item. This didn't last long so I bought the best thing that I couldn't really afford - the Panasonic 255. I was thrilled with this so called high end appliance & started baking.
The first few loaves were o.k, but then I noticed that after 4 hours, the machine hadn't started its program. I switched it off & left it long...

I bought one of these in 2006/7. In 2008 it started to make bread that had not risen.
It took months of communications to get a replacement from Panasonic.
It was repaired but was still with fault. I noticed at the time a number of complaints that these machines often went faulty after just over a year.
Mine was 14 months old.
Panasonic would not accept it was faulty so I returned it and it was damaged in the post, 2 months later they replaced it with the latest model, SD 255.

Written on: 05/07/2010
Never owned a bread maker before, read the reviews here and decided to invest. Worth every penny. I started with a spicey fruit loaf on the first day and have since made 4 loaves both white and wholemeal. Used the quick bake and the 4 hour cycle and both give really good results. Need to try freezing to see how good the bread is from the freezer but if not it's easy enough to bake most days.
Cakes are next, can't wait.

stylish, quiet, like a little baker in my kitchen. I think it is great value for money. So good to know what's in the bread i'm eating and really have the taste that i can perfect.
the timer mode doesn't seem as good as some other models i've seen. i set it overnight - 8 hours, and it just sits there for four hours then starts a normal cycle for the last four (four hour loaf). so had it a few times where the yeast sits in water for several hours and it doesn't rise properly.

This is a perfect bread maker, have made loads of bread, white, Granary, Wholemeal and a Fruit Loaf. Instruction Booklet is very good with great recipes. Cake making is very good although not a great deal of recipes. Brought a cake liner especially made for the bread machine from Lakeland.

Just bought this bread maker from John Lewis and have so far baked a cake using the bake only option and a standard white loaf. Cake and loaf were cooked to perfection. So far I'm very satisfied with this machine. I was going to buy the Kenwood Touch, which looks a lot more stylish but when I went to the shop to compare the 2 I found that the Kenwood takes up a lot more space and also the bread Pan is a lot flimsier and easily bent out of shape. On top of that the Kenwood was more expensive... (read more)

Funcurls's Comment
Written on: 06/01/2010
I found this review not helpful because...the reviewer has obviously done something wrong!! I bought the machine for my parents for Christmas and the first loaf was disastrous because I didn't select the bread type and on pressing start waited and wondered why the loaf didn't start the baking process! So I put my finger in and fiddled with the blade!! Once I'd sussed out the loaf selection process, it started working beautifully, only to result in a gooey brick-like mess!! Unlike the reviewer, I didn't blame the machine, I realised that I'd done something wrong! I think when I stuck my finger in I allowed some liquid to fall down onto the yeast and disturbed things!! (You're meant to put the yeast in first, then the other dry ingredients, then the liquid on top so that it doesn't mix too early on with the yeast!!) On second, third, fourth etc etc attempt at loaves, each one has been baked beautifully so it must have been my fault! This breadmaker is infact fantastic!!

I found this review very helpful because... Obviously a real customer who has had a probem with their purchase. It appears on the face of it, without hearing Panosonics reply, to be typical of very poor customer service, and consistant with the lowere rating for customer service that the reviewers have given Panosonic.

Written on: 18/02/2010
I found this review not helpful because...the views expressed are not accompanied by rational explanation. The reviewer claims to have owned the machine for less than a month, and gives the minimum rating in all categories bar one, including, nonsensically, durability and service and support. The writing style is glib, and smacks of vindictiveness and a desire to denigrate this product just for the 'fun' of it.
<br/>
<br/>In the unlikely event that the review is genuinely from an owner of the device, it begs the question why, faced with an obviously major fault from the time of purchase, did the owner not calmly arrange for the return and replacement of the unit?

I found this review not helpful because...I am the owner of one of these machines and not an employee of panasonic. I cannot believe how easy this machine is to work and gives fantastic bread every time. This review must have been written by an employee of another bread machine manufacturer as I cannot believe that anyone could possibly not achieve a good loaf when following the instruction booklet too the letter.

My Dad bought one a few months ago, was sceptical about its performance and reviews but he has had to eat his words (Sorry for the pun!). The bread is fantastic and he is now experimenting with various mixes and concocting his own recipes. One or two been a bit disastrous/weird tasting but who cares. At the age of 77 he's loving it and I love his bread. Will be buying my own and competing.

I had an LG bread maker for 10 years before I bought the Panasonic. I was very pleased with it, but must say that the Pany is better. It makes a bigger, lighter, better shaped loaf, but I find that the bread is so lovely and light that the XL size is very difficult to slice without making a mess of the loaf. It's even too big to fit in my electric slicer, so I stick to Large.
I use the machine almost every day, mostly for Wholemeal, White, Pizza Dough and occasionally Malt bread and Pesto...

Mine has broken after 10 months. Panasonic have said it is the flour, poor gluten etc etc. Complete rubbish, I am using the same flour etc now in new Morphy Richards with perfect results. Its the machine not the ingredients or cook. They wont give in, how can this be right, just because they are a big company they dont care about the consumer.

My Panaonic SD255 bread maker is brilliant. My only critism is that the `buzzer` is useless, because it's hardly audible and I therefore have to set another alarm. I purchased the machine from a friends recommendation after she has had hers in use for almost ten years.
I have not purchased any `processed` bread in over a year and even whilst working, with a little organisation it is used almost daily. The only inconvenience caused with baking home made bread, is weighing out the flour,...

Trying to find a good British breadmix for my AFK breadmaker, not too wet or like the poor breads you buy in supermarket and unfortunately even bakeries. What would you recommend?

Not used any bread mixes so can't recommend any. Always mix my own flour, water, yeast, sun dried tomatoes etc etc.

I found this review not helpful because...
<br/>
<br/>Doesn't really describe the product or its purported inadequacies.
<br/>
<br/>Seems to be at odds with the general thrust of reviews of this product.
