does this always need to be pushed straight down on the speed control when mixing? or just move the speed control to desired speed then it works?

For the product to operate all you have to do is move it up a speed or two. In my opinion the first speed is fast enough.

You just move the speed control to desired speed for it to work, no holding down

You need to push manually to get enough speed to engage the electric motor/throttle.

The locking ring (little blue figure-8 shaped plastic washer on the center stem) must be below the level of the formula you are mixing. So, if you are mixing 24 oz, you set it at, say, 20 oz. It is kind of a pain to move it, so I have left ours in a higher position, especially since we are mixing up a day's worth at a time. The ring prevents the mixing blade (in the photo, at the bottom) from coming above the level of formula and introducing too much air during the "cyclonic" mixing. I hope that helps!

This pump has no speed control but flow control when installed a ball valve at the outlet. It does not matter if the mixture gets stuck. The pump can stop completely with the engine running without problems. I've closed the ball valve many times, or I've reduced the flow without problems. The connection between the pump and the motor is magnetic and non mechanical.

I never do I just mix it up. I don't set my timer. This Life force works so much faster than my other one. I did have a SilverGen .When I see the "goo" going down I pull it. Mix and store.. great stuff... Mix again before you use it too. You can also add a drop of hydrogen peroxide to the mixture to help make the mixture into smaller particles. Love my Lifeforce

Yes - although I don't know why you need to stir when its running. It is stirring ultrasonically.

Use straight, no mixing required.Although i do not know the mix % to water feels heavier than 50/50, Genuine M/B fluid products are worth the money IMO.....

Low is high speed. There is no real low speed. Fast to fsaster. It will whip it up real fast so i would not recomend this mixer to anyonme because of no lower speeds.

I haven't used this mixer as much as I would like because it is so big and not constantly on my counter. However, I've never been able to get the timing right on this - it clicks ever rotation even after I've tried to adjust it as shown in the manual. Not sure if this is a factor for the gear worm. Sorry :(

The lowest speed was too fast for me. You cannot possibly premix with it. The batter would fly all around :). I thought that the mixer was also a bit too heavy to hold. Another reason for me to return it is that I didn't feel in control of the mixing process. I wonder if it may have been due to the fact that the mixer is heavy..... Please let me know if you have more questions.

I had same problem, so i just don't my guitar on it, instead spending a lot of time figuring it out, i plug my guitar wayto the mixer. I have better control over the setting that way too. hope that helps.

I know this is a very old message, but apparently this is a common issue with this machine...You press the foot pedal and first it just make some noise, then the machine starts at maximum speed... Well, I've discovered that if before pressing the pedal you lower the needle (by rotating the wheel towards you) until it's in a low position (either near the fabrick, or sticking a bit into it), then the machine will start, slowly, if you press the pedal slightly...You won't need to press a lot, and it will be easier to control speed. I hope this will be useful to people having this problem with this machine...

I have found that the system works when my decanter or processor has its handle facing the front of the base and is secured. When I did that, everything worked. The smoothie I was attempting to make got clogged in the blender but mixed, excellently with the processor!

When I use the same thing, it always dries rock hard. Did you follow the directions when adding equal parts and mixing thoroughly? That is all I can say about it.

VERY perceptive question-- I'm happy to report that this constantly surprisingly capable device can indeed be tweaked to revolve at very slow speeds. Keep in mind that the weight on the turntable you're trying to tweak is a key aspect-- and the turntable weights I've personally had actual experience tweaking to very slow revolving speeds are quite slight = original art work smallish sculptures. So, keeping that fact in mind, here's how I do it ... I *Power On* the turntable with the smooth-turning Speed Control Knob turned all the way "Off" = no turntable movement at all. Then, I gradually turn the smooth-turning Speed Control Knob in the *Increase Speed* direction until it starts revolving. And now here comes the *Tweak Trick*-- since the turntable is ***already revolving,*** I can now v-e-r-y gradually reverse-turn that Speed Control Knob in the *Lower Speed* direction ... and Lo & Behold, the turntable will start to slow down, so much so, that it's turning very slowly. Like I said-- amazing and surprising capabilities. BUT-- if you yourself are intending to set a relatively *greater* weight on the turntable, hoping to achieve the same v-e-r-y slow RPM's that I and my very light weights can achieve-- at this moment ***I don't know from actual experience if that's possible.*** But I'd be more than happy to set any weight you'd like me to test for you on the device, and then see What's What regarding v-e-r-y slow RPM's and the weights you intend to use, and then report the results back to you. Your v-e-r-y perceptive technical question is exactly the same sort of question I'd be asking in your circumstances ... and so, I'll try to help you out just as much as vice-versa.

It go straight down, but you can use it as you like when mixing flour on you counter because it is a great product and if you want it to go slant you can. It is all about your need in baking and what you want the product to do for you. The tool is your helper and you are the master. But it is strong and the grip is just right, so have fun baking. Thank you

I use a blender bottle to mix this. Give it a vigorous shake for 30 seconds or so and it's believed thoroughly
