Actually "made by hand" bread is not necessarily superior. I've made a
lot of bread, but can't do as well as my bread machine on the loaves it
does best -- plain white bread for sandwiches and such. My bread machine
controls the temperatures and rise much better than I can. Of course,
French bread and other good stuff can't be done well with a bread machine.

I have no info about the Panisonic. It's literature looks good. I
haven't seen a picture of the finished loaf. I prefer a traditional loaf
myself, and find the odd shaped things produced by some machines
rebarbarate. I've been happy with a Zojirashi for the white bread.
