Do not, do not, DO NOT buy the panasonic SD254 breadmaker (unless you never plan to use it).
You'll quickly find you can't make anything other the most basic loaf with this. For example - you can't even make spelt bread with it. Or seeded bread. Or raisin bread. Panasonic have put almost all useful settings into the more expensive (SD255) machine. So whenever you want to try anything remotely adventurous - half the point of a breadmaker - you immediately find you can't with the 254.
A weird decision by Panasonic, and a real shame, because this would be a nice machine otherwise. But you have to be incredibly unadventurous to find this anything other than frustrating.
Avoid.
