Panasonic SD-YR2550SXC Bread Maker with Horizontal Design and Yeast Dispenser - Silver

Have only made a couple of loaves so far but pleased with the results. Not too many recipes in the manual and the settings are a bit difficult until you get your head around them. Seems well made and sturdy. Not too noisy. A lot of programmes which allow you to try a lot of different breads. Overall happy with my purchase xx

One of the best bread machine, doing everything amazing kneading and baking

I have always made my own home made bread by hand with reasonable results but a few failures and always refused to use a bread maker but as anyone who makes their own bread knows it is time consuming and labour intensive, I was finally persuaded to try one and the Panasonic SD-YR2550 bread maker makes such a diffence. The preperation is so quick with no clean up required, I fit the paddle in to the bowl ( dont forget to do this ) I then place the bowl on to my scales and weigh the ingredients straight in to the bowl, when all ingredients are added place the bowl in to the machine and close the main lid then open the top lid and add the yeast, select the program which for white bread is number 1, then the size of loaf either medium, large or extra large, then the crust colour, light, medium or dark, if you are baking immediately just press start, you can also set the time you want the program to finish with the timer, up to a13 hour delay. It takes me 5 to 6 minutes to add the ingredients and start the process, it used to take about 3 hours of preperation by hand as you have to go through the mixing, kneading and proofing which is all taken care of by the Panasonic. SD-YR2550 Since using the bread maker I have baked about 30 white loafs and about 15 fruit loafs without any failures. I can not recommend the Panasonic SD-YR2550 bread maker enough. If I have to pick one small thing I would change is I would like to have a window in the lid to be able to see the operation in progress. If you are looking for a bread maker this is the one, its not cheap but worth every penny.

Meine frühere einfache Brotbackmaschine ist mittlerweile kaputt gegangen, nach 10 jahren und wollte diesmal etwas besseres zulegen. Ich bin wirklich begeistert. Die Brote sind immer super. Der Teig ist einfach wirklich gut gemacht. Der Brotbackautomat schafft es den Teig immer irgendwie schön sämig zu rühren. Entsprechend ist der Brotteig nach dem Backen absolut homogen perfekt. Keine grösseren Luftlöcher oder irgendwelche Makel. Was ich ebenfalls gut finde ist, dass der rührer, also dieser propeller, wie ein stumpfes messer ist, dadurch schneidet es sich in 80% der Fälle durch den Brotteig sobald man das Brot aus dem Schüssel kippt. Das finde ich ganz praktisch. Ansonsten hat es relativ viele programme und einige gimmicks, wie Rosinen streuer oder hefe streuer, aber da ich meistens nur brotbackmischungen verwende, ist das mir persönlich relativ egal. Ausprobiert hab ich es aber und es funktioniert ansich auch einwandfrei. Hatten auch mal Kuchenteig zusammenrühren lassen, klappt auch ganz gut. Das Backergebnis ist übrigens auch gleichmässig, mit 3 bräunungstufen. Kann ich somit empfehlen.

This is quite a large bread machine, so it takes up a fair amount of worktop or cupboard space, but it has been excellent in actual use. I have made more than 50 loaves with it so far and it continues to work reliably, producing consistently good bread without needing much attention once the ingredients have been added. It is straightforward to use and makes baking fresh bread at home much easier than doing everything by hand. The size is the only real consideration, but the results and reliability have made it well worth the space it occupies. A very good bread machine that has already had plenty of use.
