does it suppose to hesitate when start button is pressed

Yes , It is supposed to hesitate A bit at start up. if you notice it hesitates when you pull the trigger then builds up to operating speed. This is so the motor can build up safely to the RPMs to mix the mortar which of course is very thick. If it started at full speed right off the bat I think that would be bad for the motor but also you would have mortar or whatever you're mixing flying all over the place. Beware however that when mixing mortar and other stuff your hands tend to get kind of wet which is normal. I've experienced slight electrical shocks when holding the trigger and the handles with wet gloves..... just so you're aware. I brought this up to Amazon because I wanted to make a return but they never contacted me. I haven't used it since perhaps I'll contact Brutus. Aside from that I really liked it, I no longer use my cement mixer I just mix things up in the 5 gallon containers with this.

I think it depends on whether you have it down in the mixture or not. I would think it likely that it could hesitate when you have it in the mixture, but if you hold it up in the air (just to test it) I would expect it to start pretty much right away.

no, unless you have too much in the bucket and brutus is sunk deep in it before pressing start button. for best result, start mixing small amount and keep adding slowly.

Yes .its a slow start feature .so thinset etc won't splash all over the place .it starts up with very low rpm.

I just press the up button. So far I have no problem. Give it a minute to get started, and keep your finger on the up arrow.

You press the button repeatedly, it cycles through the options. The button is frustratingly non-responsive however.

I've only seen it do that when starting up. If yours is stuck, you may have to send it in for service.

Press the lock button two times. Then press and hold the start button for approximately 3-5 seconds.

No that should not be the case. i have seen few times it took longer than normal. it is typically 3 to 5 sec of hold on that button and it will turn on the flash light

I don't believe so... nothing documented anyway... run it in desktop mode and download Classic Shell.. it gives you a full working start button... Windows 8 feels like 7 after that..

Yes, if you do not need to measure increments of less than one second. If it is set on 0 and you push start it will count upwards till you stop it.

Yes, no problems to start the car, but i couldnt configure any button to lock or unlock the car, open the trunk or panic.

Nope - one press keeps it running until you turn it off (by pressing again).

Because you just need to connect it to your computer with the cable provided and depending on the type if operating system you have, you will be instructed on setting up. Once it is connected to your computer it is on so no need for a start button. Fyi: I returned it because it kept freezing up my laptop. I wrnt back to using Lacie external drive.

We have never had to push the start button more than once in all of the years we have had brew stations, and we have had about five machines total. Ours have, as one should expect, brewed quickly no matter how many cups we are making and without the process stopping at any time during the brew. I think you should contact Hamilton Beach and ask for a replacement. I hope this helps you.

I was having the same concern. I ended up holding the button until it cycles off completely (3-4 seconds).

Mine does sometimes, but it's usually just for a short time after I first turn it on and begine using it, when it *does* happen. It does *NOT* happen all the time.

I have also noticed that it can be finicky when turning it on, but I usually just move my finger slightly on the "I/O" button and press again and it eventually comes on. Don't give up on the first press, and remember to hold it down for a couple of seconds.
