Hamilton Beach Premium Bread Maker 29890MN review

The Hamilton Beach Premium Bread Maker ranks second because it brings features usually found on pricier machines to a $177.99 price with free shipping. Hamilton Beach lists 21 settings, from Basic, French and Whole Grain to Sourdough, Keto, Gluten-Free, Artisan Dough, Yogurt, Roast Nuts and a Customize (DIY) program. An automatic fruit and nut dispenser drops mix-ins into the dough at the right point of kneading, so you do not have to wait for a beep. You can bake 1, 1.5 or 2 lb loaves with 3 crust shades, and Express settings exist for each size. The exterior is stainless steel, a countdown timer shows the time left, and the machine keeps bread warm for one hour. The pan, paddle and small tools are dishwasher safe. It uses a single paddle, and the page showed no reviews when we checked. We compared documented features and published prices and did not bake test loaves.
