Panasonic SDYD250 250W Automatic Bread Maker Machine With Yeast Dispenser

Simple, Easy and Effective Bread maker machine

This is my second unit. The first one last 5 years and I've purchased another brand to replace it, with new design, looks very nice and have all the technology, but it is very bad making bread.
This Panasonic is simple and you will not find any other bread machine that can make a real bread with the size that show on the picture and taste good with the recipe included when you buy new. I've saved the instructions from my first one, since the second Panasonic was use came without book.

Makes delicious bread

The machine was reasonably priced, and it bakes excellent bread, once you figure out how to use it. I build and repair computers, but this machine is beyond me.
The instructions are retarded, no need to waste your time, and you will waste lots of it being sent from one page to another to complete the process. The recipe is on one page, the machine settings are on another page. Very awkward, not logical. It takes me longer to get the settings right, than walking to the bakery down the block.
My first two loaves were bricks. I have to play with the buttons several minutes, and still can't get it to bake my way. Some options are disabled when choosing a type of loaf (i.e. French), I can't choose the crust darkness, or size of the loaf.
The timer function is futile, unless you keep this machine in your garage. You don't want it kneading at 3:00 a.m., too noisy.
However, I got some delicious bread accidentally. Not with the dark crust that I'd like, but it's edible,
This is my third bread machine, the previous two did not require instructions, they were intuitive.Read full review

Super easy to use,excellent bread!!

This bread maker is a blessing. I have only owned it for about 2 weeks, but absolutely love! Just imagine; fresh bread all the time, oh and the smell. I have used mine about 5 times for bread alone & another 3+ for pizza dough. Its really very easy to use, easy clean up and the automatic yeast dispenser is awesome. I highly recommend this Panasonic bread maker!
For me, the best part is knowing that my family is getting good stuff!!

What's not to like about fresh bread in the morning!

It is as simple as adding the dry ingredients first, then the wet ingredients and the yeast into the yeast dispenser. Specify the type of bread and either get it in 4-5 hours or at some point in the next 24 hours (for instance when you wake up). In the future I am sure the only change will be to have the mixing blade pop up to start the process and retract down when the bread is near completion so that the bread does not have the kneading blade hole in it. It runs relatively quiet. We had bread makers 12 years ago and the cost has really come down from then.Read full review

Just what I needed

This was listed as parts only and that is how I will use it. There is a minor defect that keeps it from working correctly, but that was expected. Otherwise this device was brand new. It is exactly what I need to back up my other two Panasonic bread makers, which are now 15 and 20 years old. Read full review

A real workhorse

This is my second bread machine of this model. I've owned many different machines over the past few years, but this is by far my favorite. I bake all of our bread, plus dough for pizza, cinnamon rolls and other items. I used this machine at least three times a week for five years until it finally died. And my favorite feature is that it baked a loaf of fresh bread in under two hours! Read full review

Best of the Best

This is my second bread maker. I now used them both to make the family favorite bread rolls. I just can't keep enough rolls to last a few HOURs. This Panasonic bread machine is tough as a horse. It really makes the best dough in this universe bar none.Read full review

Best Bread Machine

Fast and easy to use. This one is a Christmas present for my daughter. I've been using mine for almost two years now. From flavored breads to simple pizza dough it has never failed me and I've used it well over 100 times. Makes the best garlic and basil Pesto bread i've ever eaten. I've even used it with my sourdough starter. Glad I choose the Panasonic.Read full review

Not exactly what I expected

I am disappointed that the paddle apparently does not have the stick-proof coating that the original paddle had. Although the paddle fits well and functions to mix the bread mixture, the paddle comes out with the bread when the baked loaf is removed from the pan. This necessitates digging it out of the loaf, ending up with a bread-coated paddle that must be soaked in order to clean.Read full review

Good bread maker

It's a Panasonic! I barely need to say anything else. This one replaced a previous Panasonic bread maker, virtually the same model. That one lasted the family for 18 years of regular usage. This newer model has a few extra baking modes, but I expect it to last a long time as well. Read full review
