PRODUCT REVIEW - FESTOOL CLEANTEC CTM MIDI MOBILE DUST EXTRACTOR (with Bluetooth)

Nick Sammut, Trade Decorator Product Reviewer, has been putting the Festool Cleantec CTM Midi mobile dust extractor to the test.

The Festool CTM MIDI is a compact M-class mobile extractor with high filtration standard of 99.9% hazardous dust as fine as 0.1 mg/m3. It features variable suction and manual filter de-dusting for maximum efficiency. Hose detection automatically adjusts suction to the diameter of the hose in use. An innovative and intuitive touch control panel makes operating the controls extremely simple, even when wearing gloves. Fitted with integrated Bluetooth technology; it allows you to use the extractor in conjunction with a remote control or a Festool Bluetooth battery pack for automatic switching-on. Unique access to the main filter from the outside makes changing the filter quick, easy and tool-free.

The Festool CTM MIDI includes 3.5m of conical 32/27mm smooth suction hose. This hose greatly improves efficiency. Reduced internal friction increases the airflow rate. The smooth outer skin means you no longer need worry about ribbed hose snagging on edges or inadvertently damaging a workpiece. A CLEANTEC bayonet fitting ensures a secure connection to Festool power tools for sanding, routing, sawing, etc.
