Amazon.com Review
Providing myriad options, this automatic bread maker embodies the marvels of 21st century electronic convenience and choice. Yes, it mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes bread in three loaf sizes up to 2-1/2 pounds. But its digital controls go much further, offering settings for white, whole wheat, multigrain, and French (crisp crust, open texture) breads, each made according to what's best for that particular style. Other settings permit rapid baking and baking sandwich bread with a soft crust. For raisin (or other dried-fruit) bread, a beeper signals when to add the fruit so it's not crushed during kneading. Crust color--dark or light--can be selected as well. The machine automatically adds yeast at the proper time from a dispenser on the unit's lid. It also bakes non-yeast, quick breads-- like banana and gingerbread--and sweet cakes. And it mixes, kneads, and rises doughs for pizza, focaccia, croissants, and other pastries without baking them. A timer permits the machine to be programmed up to 13 hours in advance so fresh bread or cake is available for breakfast or dinner. For cleanup convenience, the baking pan is nonstick. Clad in metal and packing 550 watts of power, the machine measures 14 inches wide, 13.5 inches high, and 9 inches deep. Its instruction booklet is exceptionally easy to understand and includes recipes for 40 breads and doughs along with an insightful guide to baking basics and illustrated tips for making pastries. --Fred Brack

 false advertising of product December 2, 2008
William J. Tebbe (Alanson, Michigan USA)
I checked on the Panasonic web site and found the Panasonic bread maker listed for $144.95. Amazon lists it as a $300 machine and then lists it as though marked down considerably. I think that is false advertising. I did buy the machine from Amazon as a Christmas present. I have not tried it as yet, but because of false advertising I have given it a single star.
Terrible Bread December 1, 2008

This machine is NOT a product I would recommend. I have used another brand machine for years, however this year the kneading pin was tossed out hence a replacement was in order.
After reading about the various models, I selected Panasonic. What's NOT to like, well here goes: the recipe measurements are inaccurate, the machine lacks a window to check on progress, the machine has consistently produced unbaked, half-baked and under baked bread. On-line recommendations have been to 'peek' at various times of the cycle to observe progress but this 'peeking' shouldn't be necessary. Either the machine works or it doesn't. In my opinion this machine does not warrent a place in my kitchen.

A great breadmaker November 25, 2008

I love this breadmaker. I read lots of reviews before buying and settled on this one. It has exceeded my expectations. Bread comes out great every time. I never made bread much before this, but now I make something at least three times a week. Rolls, bread, etc, it all turns out great. The recipe book is awesome and easy to use. Everybody raves over my bread and I enjoy making it. It couldn't be easier, especially with the yeast dispenser.
 Great machine -- poor directions November 25, 2008

The Panasonic SD-YD250 is an superior breadmachine; quiet, efficient, and very functional - however, the accompanying operator's manual was apparently written by someone who never used the machine. The unit has a prominent top-mounted yeast injection system that the operator's manual identifies as a "feature" to automatically inject yeast at the correct moment for optimal dough development; unfortunately using this feature results in catastrophic loaf failure. The manual advises in another section unrelated to breadmaker operation, that it is critical to add the yeast BEFORE the other dry ingredients at the bottom of the loaf pan to correctly prepare the dough. Adding the yeast at the beginning, corrects the problem with the auto-injector, but raises (no pun intended) the question regarding the need or utility of the top loading yeast injector.
