You just wipe the bread pan out with a bit of kitchen towel and wash the paddle like you would a piece of cutlery. Very little cleaning or maintenance. I use this machine 2-3 times a week and I wouldn't be without it. At this price it's a genuine bargain. Well spotted op.

​your doing something wrong then. these are excellent.

Good price to impress the neighbours with a flash looking bin.

I have this and am not impressed with it at all

Is it easy to clean? I love using kitchen gadgets but hate cleaning them after use.

Excellent gadget, the only thing that hasn't ended up in the kitchen cupboard!

Can you do a multigrain bread in it? it is possible to put all the indigents before bed and put timer so you have warm fresh bread in the morning? Thanks!

You can certainly make multigrain bread (that's the type I make, using different flours, seeds, oats etc - it's nice to experiment). You can make soda and rye bread, even pizza dough and cakes! As to whether you can set and leave overnight, as far as I know the longest programme length is about 5/6 hours, so that's not really an overnight setting. But my machine is 3 years old and the latest models might have a delayed start function. Perhaps check Panasonic's website?
