Title: Inconsistent- not durable
Product review: I bought this to replace a Breadman that is no longer made. I liked that machine (I had two of them) but the breadpan eventually leaks and you can't get a replacement for less than the cost of a whole new machine. That's why I chose this Panasonic machine- based mainly on reviews of this page. My first few loaves were not good, so I had to refine my old habits from the Breadman. Subsequent loaves were usually acceptable, but after a year and a half the motor won't knead the dough fully. The motor sounds (and smells) like it's malfunctioning. My last three loaves were disasters. For the money- this is not a durable and acceptable product.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
