Does this model DW618 have the soft start feature??

Electronic variable speed with full feedback control for constant speed under load from 8,000-24,000 rpm and soft start to reduce start-up torque for enhanced control

Yes, this does have a soft start and it works very nice - I was very pleased.

There is a setting for auto start. I don't use that option, so can't speak to how well it works. I use the manual start/stop option.

Mine that I just got today definitely has a gradual start. I can get it to run as low as ~5rpm pretty easily.

Starts as soon as you apply power. You could add a simple switch though if you like

It was not an important option for me, so I didn't specifically look for one with electric start. I would say no that it is not available since I did look extensively at a lot of Powermate generators and did not recall seeing this option. The honest answer would be " I don't know".

Yes it does. I had no problems or difficulties in installing the system quickly. And the programming was by far easier than the older model I replaced.

Yes it does. This our third unit. the first two were for kitchen updating about 30 years apart. When we moved in to our present retirement apartment we chose to replace the 1/4 horsepower unit which caused nothing but trouble. I had to pay for it myself, but it has been well worth the price. It takes almost anything you throw at it and does it very quietly. we've had no need to call the maintenance people, which was not the case with the original one. Installation is easy.

I had not used this feature, but just tried it and it appears that it can be stopped and started again where I left off. Simple to do just using the start/stop button. Thanks

Actually, yes. Although it has an electric start, the design of the plug housing is such that I could not get a plug to fit. I was surprised, and pleased, when I was able to start the machine with one pull. Maker certain you have all the valves open and the cylinder primed and you should not have a problem.

No it does not, it starts in 1 or 2 pulls and it is very easy to pull. I feel that the electric start ones are not worth it unless you use it often. If you need this unit for emergency use only, most likely the battery will be dead when you need it unless you keep a trickle charge on it. Hope this helps.

Mine is an older model. It has no inflation options. I just press the start button.

It comes with brightstart tech. So it will automatically start at the highest, brightest setting no matter where it was left at before turning it off.

It's a push button start. If it's not starting you may have a defect. It's worked really well for us.

None, but it's pretty simple and mine works. Just make sure PW 0000 or 1234 is used.

Yes, it has a compression button to make cold starting easier. It automatically pops up when it starts.

Yes. So far my pull start has worked with one pull. Two pulls if the motor is cold. I've seldom used the electric start so far.
