Breadman TR2200C Ultimate Bread Machine Review

I've had this bread machine for about a year and a half.It really does a nice job and is quite easy to use.We use it fairly often, especially with colder weather coming on, whenever a hot, fresh loaf of bread is desired!We've tried several of the recipes in the instruction manual and have enjoyed them all.I noticed one reviewer complained about not being able to order replacement parts.I accidentally tossed my kneading paddle in the trash and was able to quickly reorder one using the number in the manual for $8.The customer service rep was very kind and helpful.I'm planning on buying one of these machines for my parents for Christmas this year and would recommend the Breadman to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced, quality machine.

Product Description:
Think about how lovely it would be to wake up to the aroma of baking bread, and how equally satisfying it would be to present a warm, soft loaf of yeast or quick bread at the table for any meal. This programmable machine makes it so easy, there's no excuse for not making your own breads. You can put all the ingredients into the machine the night before, or the morning of, and program it to have the bread ready and waiting at the appropriate time.

Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Maker Review

[Between 4 and 4.5 stars]
The Panasonic SD-YD250 is pretty much the state of the art in bread machine technology in mid-2003.It's one of the larger units around with a 2.5 lb. loaf capacity.This size will also eat up your counter or cupboard space: you need just under 14" of width and height, and 10" of depth, so keep that in mind when you order.
The bread consistency is excellent.It's even pretty good in the "rapid" mode, though the results are a bit better in the standard bake mode so that's what I generally use.Also, the "rapid" mode for whole wheat or multigrain bread is 3 hours (vs. 5 hours standard), so it's not like you can start the machine at the beginning of a meal and expect completed bread before you leave the table.The fastest full cycle -- "rapid" bake mode for white bread -- is 1hr 55min.
The SD-YD250 is quieter than most earlier bread makers; however, you'll still hear the clicking and whirring as it mixes and kneads the dough.It's a neat idea to wake up to the smell of freshly-baked bread but the machine isn't quiet enough to run in the bedroom unless you're a VERY sound sleeper.
The options for this machine include the following:
obasic/rapid bake
oimmediate start/timer delay
owhite/whole wheat/multigrain
osandwich (soft crust)
ocrust color light/medium/dark
oraisin (pause and beep to add fruit or nuts)
odough knead without bake
obake without dough knead
Note that not all of these options can be combined.For instance: you only get crust color selection for white bread, and sandwich mode for white and whole wheat; multigrain bread always has a dark, tough crust (although the bread inside the crust is moist and well-textured).
The container inside really is nonstick (based on my not-so-lengthy use since I bought it) and the kneading blade does very little damage to the finished loaf.Ease of use and cleanup are both excellent.
Bread results are quite sensitive to variations in the ingredients in either weight, consistency, or age.Always use fresh BREAD flour and fresh yeast (bread machine yeast recommended) and the right amount of salt, sugar, and flour.The recipes in the included book specify flour weight in units like 16 3/4 oz., so it's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you get a digital kitchen scale for good results.Note that this will require still more counter space.
Summary: a very good machine, but you'll need a fair amount of counter space and attention to details to get the best results from it.
