Hamilton Beach 29881 Review

Countertop Bread Maker  8/10

By

Hamilton Beach 29881A competent breadmaker for an amazingly low price of $70.79, the Hamilton Beach 29881 has user-friendly, easy-to-program controls that let you bake a wide variety of breads, including French, whole grain, gluten-free, and sweet, as well as dough and jam. Fairly quiet in operation, it includes a quick bake cycle that makes a loaf faster than the typical 3 hours. Cleaning up afterward is easy with the non-stick pan and hand-washable parts. A nice bonus is the included instruction and recipe book, which has useful instructions for gluten-free and whole grain breads.
