Panasonic SD-YD250

The Panasonic SD-YD250 was purchased on September 22, 2009 and "broken" by November 5, 2009 after only 9 loaves. The first 9 were wonderful and worked just as advertised. After that, however, the automatic… yeast dispenser just stopped working on all settings. So much for convenience...It doesn't matter much how well it functions if it only works for 9 loaves. I'll have to send it off for who knows how long (at my expense) or drive to a service center 105 miles away (each way) two times to drop off and pick up. Very disappointed as this hassle is just not worth it.

I've never used a bread maker before and was really nervous about selecting the right one. This has been so easy to use and I've adapted all sorts of recipes. I would definately recommend it. I was… disapointed that all the recipes that came with the machine call for powdered milk and most call for butter and I don't use dairy products. The reason I wanted to make my own bread was to avoid certain ingredients. But is hasn't been a problem. I use canola or olive oil instead of butter and have found lots of recipes on the web that work just fine. I've made at least 2 dozen loaves so far and haven't had a "flop."
