I bought the BB-PAC20 last month and the bread has turned out very, very nicely! Your machine may be defective.
I use the 100% Whole Wheat Nut Bread recipe on page 18 of the manual, and it comes out perfect every time.
I've found over the years that good baking really depends on good quality ingredients and accurate consistent measuring. Rough measuring results in rough bread. I measure all non-liquid ingredients by weight on a kitchen scale, and I measure liquids using your typical measuring device. Precision is the key!
Put in liquids (e.g. water, milk, molasses, etc) first, then put in flour, then other ingredients (e.g. salt, powdered milk, vital wheat gluten, sugar, butter, etc), then make a well in the ingredients and put the yeast in the well being careful that the yeast doesn't touch any liquid.
If measuring by weight and adding ingredients in the proper order doesn't help then I think you have a defective machine.
I use a scale and would highly recommend one. It leads to way more consistent results and a smaller margin of error. I have this one from amazon. You can get them at a big box store as well, but if I remember correctly, amazon was cheaper. I only use the scale for ingredients that I would use measuring cups for. There no need to weigh a teaspoon of salt or a couple tablespoons of sugar. You can google the weight per cup of flour, as I forget what it is now.
You can get by without one to start, but it is a bit more involved. You never want to scoop out flour with the cup, because it tends to pack the flour and leads to a tougher loaf. Stir the flour in the bag or canister then lightly spoon it into the measuring cup. Level off the excess with a knife. Then you should sift it. You can do this with a simple wire strainer or get a full on sifter, but if money and space are tight, a strainer is fine. This will break up clumps in the flour so your bread mixes better and has a better texture.
Check the manual that came with your machine and see how they suggest adding ingredients. Usually it’s all the wet stuff first, then the dry. If the recipe calls for yeast, you just put it in the middle, on top of the dry. Fats are usually placed on top, around the outer edge. Don’t forget to put in the mixing paddle! It’s very disappointing to go get your bread only to find it almost the same as when you started it, only gooey and warm. Not that I’ve ever done that. Lol.
If you really get into making bread regularly, like I do with that one I linked, you can measure out your dry ingredients into zipper bags so all you have to do is grab one of those, add your wet stuff, fat and yeast and go.
Here's a link to a cookbook I like; Men's Guide to Bread Machine Baking. You can get it pretty inexpensively now. One of my very favorite ABM cookbooks!

I've been trying recipes from 300 Best Canadian Bread Machine Recipes. The authors often call for powdered milk but they mention that you can just use milk instead of water and skip the powdered milk. The milk is supposed to make the bread softer, I believe. I've been using a combination of water and almond milk and it works fine. I'm sure plain water would do the trick just as well.
Same place that I get most things...Amazon!
This is really great yeast that I store in the freezer: Saf Instant Yeast, 1 Pound Pouch
Isn't high gluten white flour just bread flour?
Also, you can use all whole wheat flour if you use some vital wheat gluten.
The whole wheat flour doesn't have as much protein (gluten) as bread flour so that is why some recipes try to get you to do this half recipe.
Vital wheat gluten is basically just adding the gluten in the whole wheat flour. It makes it light and fluffy instead of dense and chewy.
I bought a pack of this stuff from amazon and it makes all my breads a lot lighter.
I have this one and I am very pleased with it.

But most grocery stores should have it.
I have this one that I bought on Black Friday a few years ago. It’s been awesome, wire cutter gives it a bad review because their bread recipe overproofed, but I haven’t run into that problem with mine. Whatever you decide to get, it takes a few loaves to figure out what recipes work well and which ones don’t.

Dude, just google.
There's one on Amazon for $140, looks brand new and with its original box and packaging but no manual.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00005OTXK/
It's basically this model https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-SD-YD250-Automatic-Bread-Dispenser/dp/B00005QFL0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503227527&sr=8-1&keywords=panasonic+bread+maker but it's called the YD200 (not 250), it does the same thing as this one except doesn't have the darkness controls in the menu. $9 at the thrift store with all the extras and instruction manual.
That tan circle thing on the lid is a little trap door that you put the yeast in and it has a valve that opens and dumps the yeast in when its the correct time.
The recipe I made tonight was a panasonic recipe, maybe thats why it turned out ok.
