Does anyone have issues with the switch on the Powakaddy CT8 Sat Nav.It is difficult to stop when you press the centre button it has to be pressed hard to stop the Trolley.

The "soft" start/stop feature is the most annoying feature of the CT8....you push the button, nothing immediately happens, you instinctively push it again, just as your "original" push takes effect, and it cancels out your first push.

Utterly annoying....two years and I'm still not used to it!!

Wouldn't say it is hard to stop the trolley...just that it is slow to react to a button push.

I just turn it to zero before pushing the button.

Could be the switch is a bit sticky .
Pull the button off and put some WD40 on it.

I’ve had my button replaced off Powerkaddy before mine was the same not good considering they cost nearly £1000

They might not advertise it as soft start anymore (they used to do so) but soft start is exactly the way it operates...maybe call it a "delayed reaction" start if Powakaddy prefer that term.
