Review on 🍞 Convenient Panasonic SD-RD250 Bread Maker with Automatic Fruit & Nut Dispenser for Effortless Baking by Robbie Guinn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not long enough for small household appliances

After 10 months of use, this bread maker stopped working. I turn it on, the panel lights up, I press the button, no response. Disabled, waited, tried again, no response. I pressed the start button, the screen went blank. When I called Panasonic's "Help" line, the record told me they had a high volume of calls and would have to wait 20 minutes AND I could be billed $9.95 per call. Thank you Panasonic. NEVER AGAIN. I've just spent a ton of healthy ingredients and my time with this machine, the manufacturer of which wants to charge me a 20 minute fee for waiting for help. No thanks to this company. (PS I once had a European version of this machine while living abroad and it worked quite well for many years. The only problem was the nut dispenser, which sometimes wouldn't open, but I was usually able to prevent this by just using larger seeds used / raisins/nuts and bar check before each loaf I thought this was the machine for me but I found Panasonic is not the manufacturer for me about how this machine worked he walked me through a checklist and found that the Machine (under warranty) could be sent to a Panasonic repair center at my expense Purchase of shipping box, packaging etc. Is it worth it? Some warranty. Very disappointed.

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • Hard to tell
