The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other toaster ovens, convection and pizza ovens, toasters, stand and hand mixers, bread machines and baking appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
At $44.99, the Hamilton Beach Professional 62658G combines a distinctive mint finish with a stainless steel build and solid buyer feedback. The 4.6-star rating from 5,200 reviews is the highest average in this product group, which is a meaningful indicator of consistent performance and satisfaction.
The five-speed configuration with push-button controls is straightforward, and the 2.8 lb weight makes it reasonably comfortable to hold. At 8.7 by 3.2 by 10.1 inches it is larger than some compact models. The 120-watt motor is notably modest, which is worth knowing for buyers who plan to tackle anything stiffer than standard cake batter.
The stainless steel construction gives this model a more premium feel compared to all-plastic options at similar or even higher prices. The mint color has apparently been a draw for many buyers, and the review scores suggest that looks are backed up by functional performance for everyday baking needs.

- Stainless steel body feels more durable than plastic alternatives
Cons
- 120-watt motor is the lowest in the mid-range price tier

- Larger footprint at 8.7 by 3.2 by 10.1 inches takes up more drawer space

Performance notes
The 120-watt motor is best suited for light to medium tasks. Five speeds cover the basic range from gentle stirring to faster beating. At 2.8 lb and 8.7 by 3.2 by 10.1 inches it is a mid-size, comfortable unit. Stainless steel construction should hold up better over time than plastic. Runs on 120 volts.

Frequently asked questions
Is the mint color the only option for the 62658G?
The 62658G is listed in mint, which is the distinctive selling point of this model. Other Hamilton Beach Professional models come in white or different finishes, so if you want a different color you would need a different model number. Check current listings as color availability can change.
How does the 62658G compare to the 62656 when both are in the Professional lineup?
The 62656 offers seven speeds versus five here, and costs $59.95 versus $44.99. However, the 62658G actually earns a higher average rating at 4.6 stars versus 4.5 stars, with a much larger review base of 5,200 compared to 1,800. If you are choosing between the two, the 62658G is the better value and has stronger buyer validation.
Is 120 watts enough for making mashed potatoes or thick batters?
Mashed potatoes vary widely in consistency. Light or fluffy mash is manageable at 120 watts, but very stiff, thick mash or a heavy potato casserole mixture could strain this motor. Similarly, very dense cookie doughs may slow it down. For everyday baking tasks like cakes, frostings, and whipped cream, 120 watts is adequate.
