I've never seen a mechanical one, even though this sounds like. Never
come across a soft start "4 inch" one, but my big "10 inch" one is (they
have quite a kick without).

Quite. My large Lidl one bought some years ago has a soft start. I've got
three small ones, none of which do. Including a posh name one.
