🔍 Festool 496186 SELFCLEAN Filter Bag for CT 36 – Pack of 5: Superior Dust Filtration Solution Review

Works as expected although Amazon sent the goods back in a RETAIL box. I think I understand the huge item with a sturdy product box but it should have easily fit in a number of standard boxes Amazon uses but that has nothing to do with a product that is quite good.

Pockets work very well. I can even use them in my Home Depot Rigid vacuum. The use of bags saves on expensive filters, prevents loss of suction power due to clogged filters and prevents small particles from getting into the exhaust gases. Like all Festool products they are overpriced but that's it.

I have a Festool vacuum cleaner so there is no choice but to buy overpriced Festool bags but like most Festool products they are well made and offer a great one Service. not a review of a vacuum cleaner, but it's worth noting that Festool makes very good vacuum cleaners for picking up dust - that's why I bought it.

This bag picks up a lot of drywall dust without losing suction. Excellent for sanding drywall with the Festool sander. The Festool vacuum cleaner itself could use a better hose. The vacuum cleaner cannot suck up rubble very well due to its small diameter, and the hose tip that leads into the nozzle has large edges on which dirt sticks.

Arrived on the 2nd day, very satisfied. I've had several "store vacuums" that are less than a third of what my CT-36 is, and the bags cost twice as much. With no absolute loss of suction, the only way to tell if a bag is getting full is to feel the weight or open the vacuum - I LOVE IT! Works with small particles like drywall and even MDF dust. I hook it up to my Festool plunge saw, table saw, miter saw, anything that has a dust extraction port and it keeps the air quality high, no more white…
