I received an SD254 for Christmas to replace an existing breadmaker with bearing & non-stick coating failures. These problems are avoided on the SD254 by an owner replaceable shaft assembly and a pan with a hard finish. Operation is quiet. Loaves look just right with an even consistency and minimal 'paddle damage'. Turn-out is clean.
Instructions are clear, but indispensable initially as the control panel is not intuitive. For example, certain functions are unexpectedly unavailable on some settings. The button for choosing bread or dough 'type' is marked SELECT, which I'd assumed to be for changing the selection of the option you are currently in. It's not, but you soon get over this.
Overall, a competent machine producing satisfying results, and maintainable too.
