I second *Bob*'s recommendation; we've had a panasonic sd255 for about 6 months and haven't bought bread, bread rolls or pizza bases during that time. It's extremely easy to use, in fact we probably don't get the best out of it as do tend to stick to the same old recipes (wholemeal bread/bread rolls). Flour, yeast etc can all be bought in SMBS foods - the dove farms organic range is the best flour we've found.


The machine is quite large and heavy so does take up a fair bit of bench space when in use (3-4 times a week); but this is easily sorted if you've got a cupboard to store it in when not making bread.

I read somewhere the smoothie makers were the appliance most likely to never be used. Although I use mine quite a lot. Not for smoothies however more for soup and curry and stuff like that.


I quite like the idea of making my own bread. Not sure I would stick with it though so I may as well cut my cost and just get a bread tin.

or my Panasonic SD253.


I have to make my own bread in order to have half a chance keeping my salt intake under 3.0g a day for health reasons. The SD253 is brilliant. Throw everything and walk away - never had a bad loaf and it's used almost daily. I got the SD253 because it automatically adds the nuts/dry fruit etc at the right point in the cycle & has a good timer length (up to 13 hours on some programs). The Panasonic bread makers always rank highly in the Which reviews. Got mine off ebay for ?52 inc. P&P. It was cheap because it didnt have the manual (down loaded that off the web) and the measurment utensils/jug were missing (easily bought in Woolies for a couple of quid). The actual breadmaker was brand new and came with a 6 mnth guarantee.


Yes I could make the bread by hand but I'd rather be spending my time doing more interesting/important things and let the SD253 do it for me.

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
