If Mafell ever releases a 120V version of their S-35M vac I'd consider it, primarily as a smaller, more compact companion to the Nilfisk. I REALLY like my Nilfisk, and am very excited to see that Timberwolf Tools now carries the line. Does your normal retail store or distributor carry accessories or consumables for either vac?
Are you ok with a moderate capacity (Attix 33/Starmix), or do you want a larger capacity (Attix 44)? Do you prefer a slightly larger, more stable vac (Nilfisk) or a smaller, more compact vac (Starmix)? Ultimately, I think the vacs perform VERY similarly, and the choice would boil down to:
The Starmix vac is more compact, similar in size to a CT-MIDI. The Attix 33/44 is comparable in dimensions to a Festool CT-36. The Nilfisk vac sold by Timberwolf ships with an antistatic hose, many of the licensed Starmix vacs ship with a non antistatic hose. It's a bit hit-or-miss on the Starmix vacs whether they'll have a docking station or not. The Nilfisk Attix 33/44 has a nifty docking station that accepts Systainers and L-BOXX containers. The front casters on the Nilfisk are rubber lined, double-locking and generally heavier duty than the hard plastic casters on the Starmix vacs The Nilfisk Attix 33/44 are slightly larger/longer than the Starmix, and if you get a Attix 44 you'll be getting larger capacity. The Nilfisk Attix 33/44 are GREAT vacuums, and compare very well with the Starmix vacs. I sold the Metabo and ultimately replaced it with a Nilfisk Attix 33, which in hindsight I realized should have been a "44" so I ordered the larger bin for it. The Starmix ISP-style vacs are GREAT! My challenge was that is was VERY difficult for me to acquire accessories for the vacuum, for instance fleece filter bags, hose parts, HEPA filters, etc. Hi Fred! I've previously owned a Metabo ASR 35 vacuum, which is a rebranded Starmix vac.
