Overview
Twenty-one programmed settings, including gluten-free and keto cycles, and an automatic fruit and nut dispenser set the Hamilton Beach 29890 apart from a basic bread machine, baking loaves up to 2 lb in a stainless steel body.
Beyond loaves it doubles as a dough and multi-cooker, handling the mixing and rising for pizza dough, jam, or yogurt on the same machine, which is the appeal for buyers replacing a single-purpose bread maker. Reviewers who bake weekly point out that accurate measuring still matters more than the settings menu, a reminder Hamilton Beach also puts in its own manual.
- 21 programmed settings including gluten-free and keto
- Automatic fruit and nut dispenser
- 3 loaf sizes: 1, 1.5, and 2 lb
- Removable PFAS-free nonstick pan and paddle
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Several reviewers who bake weekly praise the consistency of basic and specialty loaves and the convenience of the fruit and nut dispenser. One buyer with premium ingredients reported a failed bake despite following the manual closely, and another flagged a corner of the pan that leaves an unmixed streak of flour in the finished loaf.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Handles gluten-free and keto bread cycles
- Automatic dispenser times fruit and nut mix-ins
- Removable nonstick pan is dishwasher safe
- One pan corner mixes less thoroughly than the rest
- Paddle coating wore within a year for one buyer
Performance notes
The automatic fruit and nut dispenser times its drop to the kneading cycle so mix-ins get folded in rather than pulverized, which reviewers confirm works as described. One recurring complaint is a corner of the rectangular pan that doesn't get fully incorporated by the paddle, leaving a streak of flour or butter in that corner of the finished loaf, and one buyer found the paddle coating wearing after under a year of one to two uses a week.
