Makes lovely bread and gives of wonderful aromas though I do suggest using an electric knife, when you’ve made a couple of loaves you will want to experiment a little, different flavours and ingredients, just a brilliant piece of kit.

This is the third Panasonic Breadmaker we have had and all of them are and have been brillia

excellent results each time. Very easy to use and clean. Sturdy. Good purchase.

We was looking at alot of breadmakers and while this was a little bit more than the others it is worth it, put in ingredients and forget about it, 2hrs later you got a loaf of bread, the only thing that we did not like much was the manual and the recipes not very clear on the the little icons that mean something apart from that total worth it, already made about 15 loaves of bread.

Nowhere do you see that the raisin and nut dispenser isn’t supported, until you get it, open everything up and get ready to make a loaf. I’m in Ireland and returning things is not really easy, so I’ll keep it because I need a bread maker. Even after reading all about the machine on Panasonic’s site there was nothing about this. I spent an extra 50 quid on a feature that I’ll never be able to use. Misleading advertising.

My previous Panasonic had served us faithfully for well over 10 years. This new one is slightly larger, has more program options (which takes getting used to) and still turns out a very good loaf. The baking cycles seem to have been refined, for instance the dough cycle has now a rest period which makes a noticeable difference. While this model doesn’t have a raisin dispenser it beeps when it’s time to add them, which is useful. The only disappointment is with the quality of printed instructions plus recipes which is slimmed down and very flimsy. Fortunately, there are some excellent recipe books dedicated to bread making machines. Overall, we are very pleased with our new Panasonic

I bought this as an upgrade to my first one and what a great purchase it is. Every single bread I made so far came out perfect. Easy to use. Great price as well.

Love this bread maker, first two loaves were a bit heavy, but have now mastered it and bread comes out perfect every time.
Brilliant buy would definitely recommend this product .

Better looking than my old Panasonic bread machine. No complaints from girlfriend, so when she is expert cooking bread we may progress. Thank you Panasonic 🙂

Bought to replace a very old one which appeared to have gone wrong. The new one is as good as the old one which I have since discovered was not baking correctly due to mis-labelled flour and still works well.
Now we have two excellent breadmakers !

I received this Panasonic Bread Maker yesterday and set up it last night on the ‘delay’ setting. The loaf was ready to come out of the machine at 0830 this morning. I am delighted with the result. The machine is easy to use, with clear instructions.
The loaf is as it should be.perfectly formed and smells delicious. No more shop-bought bread for me! Very happy with this purchase.

A perfect loaf every time I have used it. I had a Tefal one before this that I returned after a week as every loaf ended up like a brick. This one was a little bit more expensive but so worth it.

If the manufacturer’s instructions are followed and the liquids are put in last and not first, as with some other bread machines, it mixes well and makes a lovely loaf with a browned top which my previous one didn’t.

Had two machines previously the SD 2501 actually wore them out as I used these twice a week for years.
Not sure why they changed the design or the recipes, I would rather have had the SD2501 but no longer available. The SD B2510 still makes good bread, I hope it lasts as long as the previous machines.

This is my second bread maker and this is defiantly worth the extra outlay. The only criticism is the menu window is clear but very small. The bread it produces is still excelle

Makes delicious fruited bread that we’ve had a few times now using this. What I would mention though is that there are various models in this range and this one I got doesn’t have the various fancy things that the others do. Saying that it’s still so much better in terms of using as you can see the digital display and see what cycle it’s on throughout the bread making process.
I like it but it’s a heavy beast and wouldn’t want to have to lug it around kitchen to use it. It’s taller than my old one and doesn’t have a viewing window unlike that one. Taller and slimmer is how I would describe it but best checking measurements to see if it will either fit under kitchen overhead cabinets or on shelves and they had better be beefy ones with this weighty one.
It’s an awful lot of money I can say that . Yet the cost of bread and the smell and taste of it makes it worth having. Not tried out French bread baguettes yet. For seeded loaf and fruited one though tastes yummy but you do have to wait a time for it. Think most bread makers are like that though takes time. This machine does all the hard work like kneading, getting to the right temperature letting it settle or rise for appropriate time. You then just have the not do hard job of eating it.
Makes not loads of noise unless it’s on certain settings and going through the various cycles. First time round did wonder if something had gone wrong hearing a loud noise but no all fine.
Cleaning is easy apart from the metal thing at the very bottom of the bread silver pan thing. Can be taken out to clean but a brush still needed around that round bit to get any dough remains out of it.

This is a tad bigger than i was expecting and despite being described as ‘horizontal design is optimised to take up minimal space on your kitchen worktop’ it is still quite a big and fairly heavy piece of equipment. I actuallu have to pull it forward on my units to use as the lid opens and smacks my shelves above so you may need to bear this in mind if you have limited or small amounts of space.

My little one has wheat and gluten intolerance but loves a bit of toast or a sandwich so this is the perfect solution for me to ensure he can have the best of both worlds – even if Mummy needs a bit of practice in her baking skills! This bread maker by Panasonic is a great tool in helping me create decent tasting breads, cakes and dough that the whole family can enjoy and we know exactly what we have put in it. There is a programme for all manner of items and for me, I’m enjoying the trial and error of exploring with this maker.

The instruction manual isn’t the best ether and it actually has sections for several models, so you need to know which you are using and which part of the instruction to follow – tad confusing, thank you Panasonic! Once you’ve mastered the instructions, you simply have to play around and experiment. This one has the ability to kneed and rise the bread (though I’m not overly convinced on the timings of this as my bread seems to sag). It also has an automatic raisin/nut dispenser that mixes additional ingredients to help ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the loaf – but I’ve yet to explore the full range of this.

Overall, I like that I can throw everything in, pick a programme and come back to tasty bread. The only negatives are the not so ‘optimised’ space saving design and the terrible manual – but the recipes give a great starting point and ideas you may never have thought of combining.

I am a total novice bread maker yet was able to produce an very edible loaf first time!
The controls are easy to operate and read. I was able to identify at what stage the process was at and the countdown timer helps to build the excitement!!
The non stick material makes cleaning the baking tray easy.
Only minor issue for me initially was having to flip around within the combined instructions/recipe sections to ensure I was on the right track. This becomes less of an issue as experience is gained.

I have made hundreds of loaves in my 72 years and most have been disasters
Never wanting to give up, this will be my third bread maker and I have finally
Had success. Thank you panasonic.

Whilst I can bake cakes and cook meals, bread is something I have never got to grips with. I have tried baking a loaf in the past and had no luck. I had high hopes for this bread maker and despite almost throwing it out and giving it a one star review, it has come through for me. Actually, it has always been there for me, I was the one at fault!
For some reason, my loaves were sinking or stodgy and I had followed recipes and instructions, but somewhere I was either missing a step or misjudging ingredients. To be fair to me, the instruction manual is not the easiest to follow. However, after some trial and error, I am pleased to say that I can now bake a loaf to perfection around 99% of the time. The occasional I get a measure wrong and the bread is either dry or stodgy, but I am pretty much where I need to be to bake a tasty loaf that is appreciated by the family.
This is pretty much a case of throw in the ingredients and let it get on with it. The more it is used, the easier it gets to make a loaf. I am hoping that in a few months when I can do it blindfolded, we will do away with shop bought bread completely. The large loaves are often wasted as we don’t use a huge amount of bread, but these smaller loaves are an ideal size to reduce wastage — and save money.

I’ve been making bread for a few years and I’ve always had more success with my bread maker than by hand.

This bread maker is a different shape and size to my old model — it’s wide and narrow, allowing space at the front of the worktop/surface, rather than at the side. It was very easy to set up.

Inside the box is the machine, 2 measuring spoons, a plastic beaker for a sourdough starter to be kept in and an instruction/ recipe booklet.

I do struggle to get the inside baking basket to unlock after use but I think it’s because I’m used to my old machine which unlocked in a different way.

There are several settings integrated into this bread maker, including a timer, so you can have fresh bread baked in the morning by putting the ingredients in the night before. This machine can also be used for making cakes, jam and proving dough. So far I’ve only made bread. A ready prepared mix and my own shokupan recipe. Both came out perfectly.

There is a dispenser that deposits extra ingredients during the programme (such as seeds, chocolate drops or nuts and dried fruit) — I haven’t used it yet, but I noticed that the compartment had opened to release ingredients during both of my bakes.

The thing I like most about this machine is how sturdy and quiet it is when mixing the dough.

This is a big machine. It comes with a measuring cup with a lid, measuring spoon and a smaller sooon for sourdough starter (think that’s what I read!). The bonus of this machine vs my older broken model (and it’s not that it works!!) is two fold. Firstly with this there is a compartment where you can place dry ingredients such as seeds/nuts for inclusion into the dough later on in the process. There’s no need to keep an ear out for the alarm and pop them in part way through. Secondly is there is a timer. By this I mean at 9pm at night you can place your ingredients into the machine, set which menu options you want and then decide how many hours later you’d like your bread to be ready by. I needed just over 11hrs to wake up to a nice warm seeded loaf as provided in the recipes in the manual (there are three pages of different ideas). Another plus is that when turning the loaf out the paddle actually stayed in the tub!! Whether this will last or turn out to be down to it being a new machine only time will tell but it was nice not having to dig it out for a change!!
There are options to create jam and cakes but I’ve yet to try these as it will pretty much always be used as a bread maker. One happy baker here

Love it . So easy to make bread …recipes are included

Always wanted a bread maker and now I can’t stop making bread.

Really good timer functions and is so easy to set-up in the evening before going to bed. The bake is even and although the large loaves end up tall rather than long, it’s a great way to start the day!

I Bought this Panasonic SD-R2530 Automatic Bread maker yesterday And must say its the best one I have ever owned. It makes great bread, and I would highly recommend it to all.

I absolutely love this machine, it’s so easy to use and the smell of fresh baking bread is incredible.

I’m a complete novice when it comes to this bread making machines so I popped round to our local supermarket and pick up a bread mix that was Cheddar and Sundried Tomato. It cost a pound and all I needed to add to it was water. My first go, I emptied the bread mix 500g which looks just like flour in to our bread machine and added water. There’s a button on the machine, number 5 that says bread mix. I selected that, it asks you to choose your crust from three icons from light, medium and dark and hit the start button. That’s it! 3 and a half hours later I opened the lid a slid out a full loaf that was crusty on the outside and so fresh in the inside. It literally melted in your mouth.

I know you can easily buy a loaf for a pound or less but I just wanted to try it out the easiest way I could and the results have been amazing. I’ve now started using strong white flour and dry yeast sachets with a little more experimenting and we don’t but bread from the supermarket anymore.

I love that you can chuck all the ingredients in at night, set the timer and wake up to the smell of fresh baked bread. There’s nothing else like it.

We have also used it to make pizza dough for our garden pizza over, perfect every time.

Size wise it is really big and not something we can leave out on our worktop all the time but it’s super easy to clean though and takes no time to pack it away in our large cupboard when not in use.

Overall, I can’t recommend this enough. Its our favourite kitchen gadget, we a literally obsessed with it.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it just haven’t used it yet. I’m sure it will be as good as the old one.

Did a lot of research before I bought this model. I wanted one suitable for Gluten free bread and Panasonic seem to be the best in reviews. And after making my first loaf of Brown bread today I can agree it is delicious. I can’t fault it. Well worth the price, quality is really good it does what it says.
