Not so good is the ten foot ceiling with cupboards almost all the way up; she's 4'11".
She could gain working space with a Mezzanine floor though.

If you’re going to have one, it clearly needs to have a place of its own on a kitchen work surface. It’s likely that it’ll then be used.
If you’re thinking it’ll need to go in a cupboard, and come out to be used, I’d suggest it’s not a good idea.
Was the machine faulty? I’ve never baked bread in my life, but I’m not clear how you can return an electric bread maker because you didn’t like the bread you made in it. I’m not being rude, just genuinely a bit puzzled.

Distance selling regs. Same as buying a pair of shoes that don’t look on you quite how you thought they would from the picture on the website.
Also Amazons’ returns policy is amazingly generous.
Hmm, perhaps we should have persisted. However, our local bakery does make exceptional bread!

Once you’ve tried a few recipes it’s very easy to invent your own or add ingredients to suit your own personal taste. Different makes of flour taste difference too, supermarket whole meal tastes different whole meal from a specialist mill for example.the recipes in the Panasonic book are awful, and produces tasteless bread. There are a number of recipe books for bread makers that produce excellent results. We were producing really tasty bread from ours, but we got bored with the weighing, etc.....in the end we stopped using it and off to the charity shop it went.
We have a local baker round here, that has a small branch at the bottom of our road. Their sourdough and wholemeal, brown loaves are excellent, white is passable.

Weighing the flour out is easy too with the Panasonic container on scales, chuck everything in, 2 mins max, press button and that’s it
Yes something I have never found a use for either - mind you I am buying several hundred a year for our students to use.Best bit of kit I’ve bought since the Raspberry Pi.
And the smell of freshly baking bread in the last 20mins or so, ooh, that alone is worth the effort.I don’t find using a bread maker a chore because I am still mildly excited at being able to make bread at home
Hmmmmm...your supermarket must be Fortnum and Masons! And yes we have a family run bakery near us, Lathoms, and their bread is delicious but still not a par compared to home made.Thread resurrection apologies...
Just in case it helps anyone else who’s tempted by a bread machine a quick update on our experience with the Panasonic...
Having made five loaves (whole meal, white and 50:50, some with added seeds etc.) we’ve returned ours to Amazon.
Why?
You can buy much nicer sliced bread in the supermarket, and much, much, nicer bread in your local family run bakery.
Oddly enough I've been thinking of knocking shop bread on the head as the home made via Panasonic is so much nicerThread resurrection apologies...
