As I mentioned in my earlier update, I had planned to wait a year, but the previous six months have been spent really putting this unit through its There is not good storage for my vacuum in the corner of a shop. It is just sitting there while it is In addition to my promaster, my enclosed trailer, and multiple job sites, I have used it on the back of pickups. It has taken a lot of abuse, from lumber falling on it to a ladder falling on it to six feet dropping The material has held up well over the years. All of the buttons are still intact, and I really like the hose even more than I did before. first, I thought it was cheap, but after sanding over my head for hours, I realized it is so light that it does not cause me to feel weighed down, nor does it cause the sander to feel off balance. It has taken a beating and is still in excellent working order. My top lid has been opened a few hundred times to get out the extension cord, and I am not using If I attach my miter saw to a bag of wood chips, I get a full bag. Cleaning up Azek or any other material that is branded results in a full bag. According to my suction performance, I can get a half bag full when it comes to drywall dust and a third bag when it comes to fine dust sanding. It is great to see the bags included with the The cartridge filter in my car never gets My jaw really dropped when I heard Despite having owned or used every brand on the market, I have never experienced this degree of dust efficiency. If I was to buy this again, I would. I was surprised by how well it turned out. The Fein Turbo ii vacuum I use to clean my miter saw and sander has been with me for the past five years. The Fein gets about ten per cent of the work I do in my home remodeling company After 20 hours of use each week, it still runs perfectly, except for the self-start feature that sometimes fails to start. opted not to do any more repairs to it and left it on top of my miter saw. I also purchased a Festool CT15 sander for my Festool sanders that In the past month since I purchased it from Woodcraft, I have used it very hard. I am very happy with how it turned out in the end. Five stars for the overall experience, but I am curious about the longevity of some things which may become a hindrance for me in the future. My favorite thing about suction is that it is still brilliant when the bag is almost full. There is a lot of silence here. You get almost a full 4 gallon dust bin when you purchase this. Because of its placement, my Fein, which is considered 8 gallon, would barely yield 3 gallons of dust with a bag. There is no noise from its rolling on any surface. It's nice to see a HEPA filter located in this place. There is a dust blower port on the dust blower that works great. It is very easy to secure the latches. I like how easy it is to operate the controls. The lid doesn't have to be closed for the hose to stay in place. The device is relatively lightweight and compact. The top of this cabinet is flat, making it ideal for tools and system However, I am unable to latch on to it. Changing the bag is quick and easy. There is a HEPA rated option
What I dislike The door for the blower port looks like it can break very There is no way to lock a sys box from the top. This is a pipe that is attached with a bungie cord, so tying it up can get a little challenging. There is no lock on the wheels since the hose is Festools cheapest. Even though it is a manual button, I still find it strange to simply "touch" it and turned it The hope is that it will last.
I chose this model because of the 4 gallons of dust it can pick up for less than Another Festool model with a capacity of four gallons costs $550 ( I may be wrong here). There are more options with the other model, but I was unwilling to spend that much money. The vacuum I own is a good one overall. Festool provides me with a sander, a trac saw, and this is a nice addition to them. The machine is compact with strong suction, and it also has HEPA filtration. At the end of the first year, I'll update again.
Due to Festo's high price, I was initially put off, but finally decided to bite the bullet and hope the quality was worth it. Vacs of this size, power, and versatility appeal to me -- I especially like the vac's small size, suction power, variable speed, and apparent ease of movement I liked it a lot, and wasn't Five out of five It leaves a great vacuum even at low speeds, and moves very easily, taking up only about half the space of the Rigid and probably 15 times the weight The noise level went down by 20 dB! I'd give them all 10's if 10's were available, however the big negative for me is the "MAN" button for every character. In spite of the small touch area, and the necessity of a good amount of finger pressure in order to activate it - it works like a piezoelectric switch. This does not work for me at all with gloves on. Because the vac moves so easily, and the button is on an angle, a second hand is needed to press the button - however that is only a limitation of my skills. To control the vacuum, you must use one hand to press the button and one hand to hold it. The design of the site is very poor and the layout wasn't thought out well It is uncommon for Festo to do this Given the cost of this machine, I expected better results There can be no other reason why I have given it a 3 rather than There's no need to spend so much money on such a crude.
Do so quietly. The thumbs up are in order. I am very happy with the suction power! A small CNC router is louder than the extractor, which is why I bought it. I use it in tandem with a little cnc carving machine. I bought this extractor because it uses HEPA filtered exhausts and it is very quiet. In order to prevent them from being injured, I have a great concern for the safety of my young children when they come and learn with me in the shop. keeps the air free of contaminants and makes the noise levels as low as possible.
I'm not sure I would use it as a shop vac, but it will do a fantastic job collecting dust from my Festool sanders. An auto start feature, an adjustable suction and power level, and an optional long life reusable bag are all standard features. I find this to be an incredibly good Once you see how fine all the dust is in the bag, it will scare you to think how much of it you have been breathing because, unless you are extremely diligent about always wearing a mask, you will be breathing it in heavily. In general, I use the 5. 0 Rotex sander as my primary sander and won't ever go back to the old school palm sander. With this tool, pigtail swirls are a thing of the past. The woodshop is now on another.
I like this little vacuum cleaner. It is not possible to store sustainers above the top hose garage, as is the case with large As well, the Festool hose is the ridged, more affordable Upgrade to the next larger extractor and it will come with the braided hose, which is more durable.
I have not attempted to use the CT15 units yet, but I do notice that the bayonet hose end broke off during My contact with the seller to get a replacement was denied, as CT15 was shipped from the factory, implying no replacement was I never would have guessed that! Another small issue is that the elastic cord that holds the gathered hose of CT15 vacuum is too tight, crushing it when squeezed. It seems that the vacuum bag does not fit inside the unit and often falls off A "German" engineered product should not require superglue for fitting but is capable of being tacked in the same way with superglue.
We can't get here at the rate of molasses. In terms of the extractor, it works great, and I particularly love how it turns on immediately after you power up. It also saves me a lot of time in the field I work in. In the vertical position, I used the method to sand my closet doors. I was thrilled to discover how little dust it left. My wife was even happier. As I said, maybe shipping was a hit or miss experience, but the vac worked great.
The hose attachments are terrible. My happiness could not be greater. I was not satisfied with the hose as it was quiet, but otherwise it was perfect. It was free in the first hour when it was first pulled free. Pulling the sander free of the hardware completely is not enough. The sander must be pulled out of the hardware in order to function. I pulled the hose from that hardware later same day as I vacuumed out the other end of it. This is a weak link in the machine, and it is what makes it good as a whole.
