Advantages: Makes quality bread
Disadvantages: Not the best though

The Panasonic bread maker is a nice product, but I do not think it is for everyone. My dad was looking for one for a litle while and settled on Panasonic because he trusts the company, I do too. But I tried the bread, freash and soft, but the taste it had was not like the good quality bread you can get at a bakery.

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: malfunctions after being used only a dozen of times
