Most had the electronic speed control, yes, however, the speed 
was in general sensitive to the amount of pressure on the 
switch, so if one does not have stable hands all the time, the 
speed will change. I do not think I am being fussy here, just 
noticing an important feature that books always describe. I 
bought (and returned) a few brands now. Part of the reason was 
that the speed variation caused by the pressure switch was 
causing variations in the cuts, thus defeating the purpose of 
the electronic speed control. It seems the American market 
versions of same brands do not have this problem.
