Festool Ct Midi I Dust Extractor Review 

Sooo, what do you think of the vacuum? All the links and timestamps are in the description box.

It is not a Vacuum. It is mainly a dust extractor that can be used as a vacuum. It is a tool that offers great benefits to those who do carpentry, woodworking, and painting. In other words, it is designed to work with your sander, saw, and router. Festool dust extractors are considered the best in the market. Two things that are worth to mention: They are made in Germany (not in china). They are built to last. And like you've said, everything is high quality. Thus the high price tag. If I hired you and you showed up with festool tools in your arsenal, I would definitely trust you would do a good job. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Looks nice ..for a sec I thought you were going to review a office printer ..😬😬🤭😂

Hi, I think you overlooked the CT-F I BLUETOOTH adapter; this is especially nice for how you use it because you can turn in on/off right at the end of the hose, without having to back to the machine!

Your so wrong on the blue tooth you would use it all the time

Great video man! I'm a woodworker who has been eying this since it dropped and I'm about to get it. I'd been wondering how it would do cleaning my car or around the house, good to know and awesome to see it in action! And solid overview of all the functions! Surprised you didn't grab the Bluetooth remote/button ($45) as I could see you using that to turn it on and off while in the car or away from the unit. There's also a long life bag available from Festool for $125, compared to buying the expendable bags. My first time to your channel, good stuff dude!

This thing looks like a mini transformer lol . Here i am with my Bissell pro heat

Updated set-up with the new equipment would be sweet. I was thinking about picking up this model, or the more compact CT SYS from festool.

Can you please stop tapping the top of the extractor

It looks like a mini xerox machine.

The bluetooth feature is great because you can turn the machine off and on from the hose end instead of having to return to the machine.

I just got one (also here in Houston!) a few months back for my detailing business and absolutely LOVE mine Oscar!

*Had this for about 2 months. Absolutely love **MyBest.Tools** Suction is unbelievable. I use it for home projects and around the garage. Wheels are nice even over rough concrete. Havnt even emptied it yet. Cant beat craftsman!!!*

Great review! I think you were having too much fun rolling it around though 🤣. I would’ve probably done the same thing.

Hi. Do you think this can replace vac and wet extractor?

That is one SWEET machine! The Ferrari of vacuum cleaners for sure. Perfect high end vacuum for detailers, without a doubt. I just bought myself a "GEORGE" numatic vac due to the fact i've wanted a numatic for quite some time due to their incredible suction power, but the plus with the George numatic was that it also has a really nice wet extractor built in with separate wet hoses/dry hoses and a ton of top quality attachments. For a weekend enthusiast, it's probably overkill, but it's a worthwhile investment. George was about $650 with the extra bags which are super high quality cloth hepa bags. Had I not already bought the George, I would have gotten this machine for sure. I use the vacuum way more than the extractor so the vacuum function is way more important to me, although having both a high quality vacuum AND the wet extractor in ONE MACHINE was my main reason for purchasing it and both functions worth incredibly well. This FESTOOL vacuum looks VERY well made which is a main selling point. I also like the slide out filter and that green hose looks like the best vacuum hose i've ever seen. George might have to go bye bye one day and i'll upgrade to this.

The hose itself is just perfect for detailing ...pity it's so expensive...but you get what you pay for

Hey brother! Donovan here from Gloss Boss Auto Detailing in Fisher Branch, Manitoba, Canada. We use the Milwaukee battery powered Wet/Dry Vacuum. We are VERY impressed with it, it is COMPACT, it holds the hose and all the attachments inside the vacuum! It's a quarter of the size of this unit you are reviewing. We run 6 amp batteries in it, and one battery EASILY lasts one car detail. Just letting you know what we use! Have a great day!

Hi buddy. Are you still using the machine. ? Was it worth the money. Thanks.

I just got one to replace my old CT Midi. Wow!! Major upgrade. Loving it!!!

I like the tool, but the guy doing the video needs a lot more practise. He sounds a little confused.

Great 👍🏼

Dude that's a crazy "dust extractor"! Here I was thinking I was all cool upgrading to a rigid vac.... lol

I love mine. I am a woodworker, the bluetooth is actually super useful because when you are using a sander or saw with this the extractor will turn on whenever you start the tool and turn off when you turn off the tool. it takes away all the dust from sanders and saws. but I think it also makes for a great vacuum , I use it to clean my own vehicles and it works so well, much better and less noisy than a shop vac and not all clunky and round. it is well worth the money.

I'd love that hose...no more sawing the hose against the car sill. Sadly, on Amazon Canada it costs $450 just for the hose

Make a video of your extractor

What made you choose the midi over the mini just curious before I buy! Thank you for another amazing video and all you do for the detailing community.

I had no idea that anyone other than us woodworkers used CT Vacs! I've got two of them in my little garage woodshop. Pricey stuff, but you know, when compared with other premium pro brands (not the stuff you find in Home Depot), the prices are not really that far out of line. Beware though, the Festool green coolaid is VERY addictive. You always say that i'll just buy the one; then it escalates from there... Your garage fills up with the green stuff and your wallet empties of the green stuff! Oh, actually, the little Bluetooth Remote Control you can buy from Festool (just need the $45 remote button, not the whole $80 thing) is sort of useful too. You attach it to the end of your hose and it's quite convenient. But on second thought, where you're using the hose, you'd probably just be accidentally hitting the remote button all the time on car interior stuff, so maybe you're better off without it.

When you started rolling it around you looked like a happy 8 year old little boy. like “weeeeeee!”😆 good review👍🏼

Так покажи как он в работе, одни разговоры о его плюсах, как он пыль строительную собирает и сколько может её собрать

I have this vac in my workshop and it's a tough little extractor. I really love it. I use the power socket on it so it turns on and off when I use my electrical tools. I would recommend this to people who do some serious woodworking.

Festool official videos are useless and so are the Festool supplied manuals. So thanks

Best review of this product so far. Stay safe.

Dam bro, I wanted to hear the fest tool on compared to another vacuum if you had one or just hear it on

👍🏻💪🏻😷😷✌️🔥💯

Nice overview of this dust extractor. I have this same model unit and I really like all the features it has for my woodworking tasks. Knowing it also works great to clean out my truck is a big benefit too. The hose on this unit is 11.5 feet, which really helps when doing many tasks. The accessory connectors can be bought with the Sustainer enclosure that also fits perfectly on top of this unit and you can still open the lid to get the hose out or to store it.

Mañana me llega el mío junto con el of1400

Been waiting on this one !

Thank you brother. Good review. I plan on buying this one for my woodworking. Cheers.

Great video and thanks. Do you think a regular dewalt shop vac would do just as good a job if it has the same hose?

So just in case you didn't get it, its a dust extractor not a vacuum

I think you disbanded then Bluetooth too fast you can get remote control that you put on the hose so you can start and stop the vacuum cleaner.

Cool vacuum! Random question, What kind of shoes are those ? I'm looking for something like that for work

very awesome video, how do you like it after having it for awhile? , do you still recommend this for auto detailing?

I like that the crevice tool can rotate. Also i like your shoes it look durable and looks like is can withstand good pressure and flex

I want the most powerful portable vacuum. I’ll pay any price. But this is certainly a great machine, lots of conveniences with the Festool.

At 5:30 did he mean 'struggle to take it off accidently'?

Just started using my new Mini 1. First thing I noticed is inside the tank, the filter is on 1 side and the dust port is in the Center.... so there’s no way for 1/2 the bag to fill up once the dust fills up to the centre where the dust comes in. 1st time I checked the bag it was rock hard full from filter to dust port without a spec in the other half of the bag.

Good job showing the details, mine arrived today, I have some accessories coming, I love it

Question the filter in the bottom do you have to empty that bag or do do you keep reusing ? And can it vac water?

The hose is 11.5 ft I belive

How quiet is it when its turned all the way up vs all the way down?

no way that comes in perfect since I couldn't find any good reviews

Estoy en Houston Texas en qué tienda encuentro la máquina tc mini

Got damn that’s Big (That’s what she said) lol, I like my vacmaster vacuum

Had before.. Prefer Kirby better..
