It is a very popular bread maker in Taiwan and i heard a lot of good things about this one. I always want to buy one bread maker to make my own bread. Unfortunately, you don't find this type of the bread maker in the U.S. So I ordered mine through Amazon market place from Japan. Believe me, I was nervous to order something over 300 dollars from this far and someone I don't know. Luckily, it shipped to me fast and safely.
I was really surprised by how my first bread turn out.... It was a beautiful, good looking, perfect smelling and taste delicious bread. I am never a good baker with any kind of baking. But this bread maker really make me pick up my confident. Later, I also shared some of my products with some friends and neighbors. They all enjoyed my breads. True that you will have small problems with the language. For some Chinese speaking buyer I will suggest that you can go to panasonic Taiwanese website to download the menu. Bare in mind that due to voltage ( Japan:100V, U.S.: 110), flour texture's difference. You need to adjust your recipe a little bit.
