Overview
['The 62628 runs at 235 watts with 6 speed settings, placing it solidly in the capable-but-not-premium category. At $31.34 it is priced competitively against the 275-watt 62636 and the 275-watt 62692, making the three models close alternatives for anyone shopping Hamilton Beach in the $25 to $35 band. The black color is a practical choice that hides minor splatter marks better than white.', 'Dimensions are 3.5 x 12 x 7.7 inches and weight is 2.5 lb, which puts it on the longer side for a hand mixer but at a manageable weight. The push-button controls on a plastic body are typical for this class. Voltage is 120 V, confirming North American compatibility.', "With 541 reviews at 4.5 stars, buyer feedback is positive, though the review count is modest for Hamilton Beach, which has other models with thousands of ratings. The 4.5 average matches the brand's best-rated units, suggesting buyers who have purchased the 62628 specifically are broadly satisfied."]
