Festool CT 33 E 8.7 Gallon Dust Extractor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, maybe. But, undoubtedly, it is the greatest shop vacuum I have ever owned. I've been using mine for a year and it integrates seemlessly with all of Festool's tools. And it is quiet. It is several, maybe even 10 dB, quieter than other shop vacs making this a pleasure to use.
It has infinitely variable speed. The wheels will lock in case you don't want it to roll. The vacuum allows you to plug another tool into the vacuum and the vacuum will automatically start when you turn on the tool. This feature was the primary reason I purchased this vacuum and this alone justifies the high price. When sanding a large piece of furniture through several grits, it is *so* convenient.
The vacuum is wired at 20 amps because when a tool and a vacuum are going at full tilt it can pull a lot of electricity. However, it comes with a pigtail adapter to plug into the much more common 15 amp circuits. So of course, a circuit breaker might trip if you pull a lot of electricty.
There are two methods for collecting dust--paper bags and an optional plastic tub that is available as an accessory. I use both. The bags are great for dust and the tub works fine for rough construction debris.
