Ryobi 3x21 belt sander question

I have recently purchased the Ryobi 3x21 belt sander. When the trigger
is pulled the sander takes about 2 seconds to begin running. It comes
up to speed and runs fine. The manual says nothing about the slow
start.
Is this normal or bad karma for not buying the lovely Craftsman 3x21
sander?

It is model number BE321VS
It has a variable speed control (which I have never had before
on a belt sander) which made me wonder if the slow
start was normal for this feature.

Good advise, I took it back to the BORG.
Went to my local toolhouse ( Where I should
have gone in first place). Put hands on to test
Bosch, PC, Dewalt. Liked e'm all. Bought the PC 3x21.
(on sale) Thanks for all the help/advise.

If it makes you feel any better, the Craftsman is probably made by Ryobi.

Does the Ryobi not turn at all for 2 seconds?

Why fool with it,take it back and exchange it.

You probably didn't spend 2nd class money.

Why should you be satisfied with 2nd class performance?

That might be normal if the speed control has feed back to keep a constant
speed during a load. I have a router that starts up the same way.
