Bought the Panasonic all-singing, all-dancing breadmaker last year. Have used it a fair bit, and I have to say, I am really disappointed with the bread. It lasts a day, after that it is really stale even though we store it properly. It's also a complete faff to cut, and I have to confess it is sitting in the corner of our kitchen unused and unloved. I am now back to shop-bought bread and don't think I'll be returning to the joys of using the breadmaker!
