Starmix vs Fein vacuum cleaner

I have seen favorable comment here on the wreck about the Fein Dustex II
vacuum cleaner. I contacted the sole Fein distributor here in New
Zealand and they say that they do not normally sell this item, they
substitute a Starmix Zyklon GSA 10/32 EH at the same price.

I can find little information about the Starmix. It is also German-made
and seems to be for sale only in the UK, Oz and NZ.

Does anyone out there have an opinion about the Starmix? Is anyone able
to compare it to the Fein?

Comments on the Fein Dustex II would also be appreciated.

Cheers,

Larry

Hard to believe that a German manufacturer of vacuums would use the name
Starmix Zyklon?
Zyklon B was the gas cannisters used by the Nazis in WWII used to gas
(mostly Jews) in gas chambers.

Hard to believe? What about the Mitsubishi's that attached Pearl Harbor?

Hopefully a human being does not live in a single plane
confined to some narrow stratum. If a reader saw a post mentioning an Abu
Gharib Belt Sander he would bring it to someone's attention.

What does that have to do with the OP's question?
