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

Excellent

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.

I didn't know when i ordered this bread maker that it was one of the best on the market, I've wanted a breadmaker for nearly two decades and even though im just making my second loaf of bread the first loaf came out okay with a few small improvements needed, but it was eatable and this time i decided to use the proper measurements for this loaf and in over 4hrs time i get to taste the bread 🤞. The machine is bigger than i thought it would be and having a tiny kitchen it does take up a lot of room but it's worth it. The LCD screen could be a little bit bigger and have a back light so you can see it properly but it's something i will get use too. The instructions manual is very easy to understand or the best way is to go on YouTube and you will find lots of people who know what they're doing will happily tell you how to make lovely bread etc, i watched one man who won awards for his bread making etc and he made bread the old way and he even rated this bread maker excellent and one of the best he's tried out with excellent performance and others were saying how you can do the crust to your liking and i hate hard crust and always have done so now I can have soft crust just how i like it. I originally got this mainly to make decent pizza dough because im sick and tired of how bad pizza dough on pizzas in the supermarkets have gotten including actual pizza dough itself, i absolutely love pizza and ive realised something, if you want quality then it's best to make it yourself and if you're half a decent cook then it's worth making your own food without all the extra crap they put in bread and other foods, i hardly eat supermarket bread because of the rubbish that shouldn't be in bread, bread should have very few ingredients in it but shop bread manages to have every ingredient known to man in it. Over the year i have been looking on Amazon for a good breadmaker and i was looking at ones for around £80-£100 and a lot of these cheaper ones had good reviews a lot of the reviews kept on mentioning Panasonic as being the best breadmaker they've had in the past and this model was getting mentioned a lot saying it made the best quality bread etc and the machine lasted a long time, but unfortunately due to cost of living they couldn't afford the Panasonic and one person said after buying a cheaper model that was useless that they're going to get the Panasonic again even though it's more money but worth spending that extra amount on this breadmaker and im glad i listened to those reviews and i will be saving up to get one for a very good friend of mine who has done me loads of favours so i will be getting one for my friend for Christmas and birthday present and i know he wants one and this is the one i will be getting him. Honestly don't waste money on some of these cheaper ones unless that's all you can afford but just choose a decent one and if you can afford this machine then i highly recommend it. The biggest issue i had with this breadmaker is that when i was doing my first loaf my little flat smelled of lovely fresh bread and if you love that smell then you know what im talking about 🤤😋 i used to love the smell of fresh bread when going into a supermarket and at the back you could smell the bread being made, thats until quite some years ago i found out that the bread is made in a big bakery factory and it's not fully cooked and they actually finish it off in the store and i recently found out that some supermarkets spray some chemicals so it makes the store smell of strong fresh bread 🤢🤮 just what people need is more unwanted unhealthy crap added to their bread, but now i don't need to worry about that and later im going to make my first pizza dough and even if i mess it up the first time i can guarantee it will still be nicer than the dough they're using on a lot of pizza brands including the takeaway pizza places. It was delivered on time and in immaculate condition.
