Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Maker

Fast replacement and great service for this product. Makes a great loaf of bread and am able to use my old recipe.

I have owned as many as 5 bread machines prior to purchasing the Panasonic SDWD250, this is the easiest and best machine I have ever used, and the bread comes out fantastic! My first bread machine also was a Panasonic Mod. SD BT6D over 30 years ago, I went through 3 bread pans and could not purchase parts for it any more, so I went to several other brands some over $200.00 and they were terrible machines could not even get the bread out of the bread pan do to the stupid double mixing paddles, both of the same manufacturer, I now use them for making dough only! I am extremely pleased with my Panasonic SDWD 250, I do not believe there is a better bread machine that will even come close to this one.

This is a very decent machine at a mid-level price. Tons of features (more than I know what to do with, but not overwhelming). We've tried 25+ recipes with this machine and have been happy with how it functions on all kinds of bread. We did develop a slight problem where a bracket that holds the heating element in place broke; it has not affected the cooking of bread. We are contacting Panasonic for a replacement part. Good product otherwise.

I bought the Panasonic (SD-YD250) to replace a tried and true breadman bread maker that I had used for many years. I wanted something that would be as reliable and that made a more elongated loaf. I did some research (friends and on-line) and decided to try the Panasonic. I am very pleased with my purchase. The bread it makes is fantastic! I've tried many of the included recipes and have not been disappointed. I have made my old stand-byes from when I used my other machine and they have also been great. The Panasonic seems well made, it's quiet, has easy-to-use controls and is easy to load and clean. I can't attest to its longevity but after a month it is doing well with making daily loaves. I can smell a loaf baking as I write this (french setting - very nice) and am looking forward to slicing into it for dinner.

This is the third Panasonic machine we have had!! (You might say we are a Panasonic family!) The first one we inherited; boy, were we surprised making that first loaf!!!We liked the machine so much--when it died, we bought our second Panasonic machine. After having it for a few years, it quit mixing properly---so now have our third and new--"what else" Panasonic SD-YD250, and absolutely LOVE it. Wouldn't buy anything else!! We use it almost daily and it is a super machine you can depend on to give you a great loaf everytime. (Just don't forget putting yeast in the little dispenser.) I have nothing bad to say about this machine, it rates really well and deserves that rating--it is a great, great machine. This machine costs a little more, but worth every cent!!! Now I have bought all of my three children one just like it for their families. They are that good!!!
