With the Protool/Festool vacs each time the filter cleaning pulses suction drops off.Īnyway Starmix has a couple of cool videos on their iPulse vac on youtube. 1 before the filters and 1 after the filters that constantly measure airflow and only cleans out the filters independantly from one another when airflow drops and not at set intervals like the Protool/Festool vacs.īy cleaning each filter individually you keep constant suction power. It's made from a polymer that can just be rinsed off with water. 2 filters with a lot more surface area instead of 1.

It's because they have a much better filter system. For suction directly on the power tools for drilling, milling, grinding and sawing. The filter is pleated in optimized cellulose with glued folded frame and with inserted sealing gasket. There's a couple of reason why and how that is. The STARMIX ISP iPulse L-1635 PREMIUM intelligent vacuum cleaner with pulse filter cleaning for the hardest time use in industry, in the workshop and on construction site. The iPulse L-1635 Basic vacuum cleaner comes with 1 FBV 25-35 bag and filters in Class M which have a dust retention capacity of 99.9 in washable polyester with high performance thanks to the large surface filtering up to 86 00 Cm3. This is especially noticeable when sucking up for example cement and drywall dust. Or bothīefore anyone asks what makes the Starmix vacs better, is the simple fact they maintain suction power longer than the Festool vacuums. On the jobsite here in Belgium both are about equal in popularity, but most guys do either bring a Festool or a Starmix with them. The choice simply depends on what you value most:Ī good vacuum with a ton of versatility and options or a vacuum without any options but a bit better performance. They just offer a really good vacuum and that's it.

There are however a lot of advantages to the Protool/Festool vacs due to all the possible accessories. I give the Protool/Festool vacuums a Good rating wheras I give the Starmix a best in class rating for vacuums between 1200-1600W. I only got these 2 because when Protool became Festool I managed to get these autoclean vacs for €500.
