Re: hair trigger - There's a screw that controls the snugness of the speed lever, and it comes loose over time. You have to take the mixer apart to get at it ... it's inside the case under the bottom of the lever. I did it for mine, and it saves a lot of frustration. (At least once I realized that I'd also reinstalled the magnet that controls the motor in the wrong direction and fixed that too.)
