I am interested in 1 maybe even 2 of them, but I have some questions. Maybe someone can answer them for me. Is the suction power the same or better then a festool ct 36 vac ? Also where can you buy replacement filter for the vac ? Can you use it without bags ? Anything people don't like about the vac so far ? Thank you. It moves 130 CFM vs 137 CFM for the CT 36 AC. Not sure if that 7 CFM will be noticeable. Replacement filters, you can get from anybody who rebrands these Starmix vacs. The filters have stayed the same despite the new vac. So in the US, Metabo, Mafell, CS Unitec, Bosch...in Europe, you can seek out in addition to the previous list: Eibenstock, Baier, Spit, Hitachi, Storch, Duss, Ramset, AEG/Milwaukee. Yes, you can use it without bags. There's more information in the other thread: mafell-users-forum.freeforums.net/thread/55/starmix-vacsThe advantages I remember are, a) HEPA certification, the CT 36 AC is not, b) no loss of suction when the filters autoclean, c) $300 more money in your pocket. The disadvantages are, a) lower resale due to lesser known brand, b) shorter warranty (1 year w/ CS Unitec, though 3 years w/ Metabo).

Thank you for the reply JM . I went to go order 2 of them today but I got this message when I clicked on the link "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."

Yikes. That's not good news for me, I haven't gotten a tracking number.

jm did you get a vacuum ? I just got a ship notice today actually, a week after I ordered. Supposed to arrive Thursday, I'll let you know what happens. In the meantime, maybe it's worth messaging the seller to see why he pulled the item? Perhaps he'd be willing to do a group buy or something of the sorts.

Arrived yesterday. UPS man didn't bag it so it got soaked, but still works fine. HEPA certification:
