Festool577413 Dust Extractor CLEANTEC CT 15 E HEPA

I can't say enough good about this vac. I was originally a wee bit put off by the price, but after reading other reviews and springing for it, I agree wholeheartedly; worth every penny. It has plenty of suction power for my needs (dust extraction for power tools, mainly), it's adjustable, it's (relatively) quiet, it seems very well made, I appreciate the ability to store some small items on board and to corral the hose.I can't speak to longevity, as I've only had it a few weeks, but I find it hard to believe it won't outlast me. Highly recommended.

We added the Standard Cleaning Set and use this for cleaning floors and vehicles. Here in Florida we can drive on the beach which adds tremendous quantities of sand to the inside of the vehicle. This vac system gets the sand off the rubber floor mats and the fabric seats beautifully. It also works great on tile and wood floors, even in the caged pool area outside. Low and easy enough to drag around without tipping. Low noise and good suction. Highly recommended!

What’s to say, it’s festool. Works amazing. Makes the job site a better place to be. I use it a home to because it’s just the best vacuum you can get.

These are not the strongest suction wise but are great dust collector vacs. Can sand in living areas with a Festool sander and virtually zero dust. Pretty amazing although pricey. If you need to work in customers homes while they are living there vs a construction zone these are the gold standard.If you want a dust collector for your Festool sander yes if you want a shop vac buy a HD $100 one it will have better suction for larger pieces of debris.Wish they had hose caddy for the price but it does have a bunny on top to secure it.

This is my 1st Festool device. I'm very impressed with it. It is quieter than your regular shop-vac. The variable speed vacuum motor is very handy for when you're attaching smaller tools. Yes it is pricey, but compared to the Bosch and other HEPA vacs, it's right inline with them. My only major complaint is that the auto start function only allows a 2 Amp max device to be plugged into the vacuum. The bigger festool vacs I think will handle 10 amps. But for orbital sanders or Palm Sanders it works fine.

I've always wanted this vacuum cleaner. I'd been using a similar one for three years, and finally got around to buying my own. Festool is one of those brands designed to last and work hard all day, every day! I highly recommend this vacuum if you're a painter, or if you're just using it for carpentry or cleaning. Its EPA filter won't let out any unpleasant odors or unwanted particles. It's excellent quality!

I suspect that every Festool product gets at least 4 stars and only looses out the single star due to price. The dust extractor works very well and it's nice being able to plug the dust producing tool into the extractor which then starts and stops automatically with the sander/track saw/miter saw, etc. Very solid and well made. I have noted at times the dust bag fills up unevenly which may be operator error however it is easy to correct by popping the lid and shifting the contents a little. A tad expensive but I suppose you get what you pay for.

Honestly i don't know why i waited so long to buy this. I have a large 3HP Jet Dust collector and I'm seriously considering selling it and just getting a couple more of these. It works great, its small enough to hide in a cabinet or out of the way. Its unbelievably affordable compared to other shop vacs and what you get. Plug the tool into it and it comes on automatically. Very Very happy with it so far.
