This is a review of the 2 Diatop Starfish products.
The Diatop Starfish mini is for use with nylon cutting heads ie speed feed heads. With the starfish mini you can cut metre high grass at the base instead of having to cut from the top down. This save a lot of time. The grass etc that normally tangles your speed feed head does not tangle. I have used it in knee high kikuyu without the speed feed head tangling. I would not normally cut love grass at this time of year as it tangles to bad with the starfish you can cut knee high love grass without it tangling the head.
The Diatop Starfish is for use with blades. Unfortunately it does not work with the brushdestructor. It fits on top of your normal 3 point (or whatever) blade. The starfish works really well at stopping the blade from tangling. Being able to cut grass weeds etc at the base instead of cutting from the top down saves a lot of time.
