I just picked one of these up, and so far I'm pretty pleased with it. One note, the power cord BARLEY fits. Maybe it will loosen up, but if you don't wind it fairly tight the lid won't close.
Hi, what class dust extractor is this please, can it be used when drywall sanding plaster after stripping, is it good for extracting dust during sanding of fillers and paint removal?
Hello, thanks for the question, this model is normally an M class but can also be upgraded with better filters to a H class if necessary. Yes it could be used for that type of sanding/vacuuming.
Thankyou so much for your kind help. Can you tell me the model number of this product please & also is there a link fro the H filter please? Is there an alarm with this product of is it without an alarm. Really appreciate your help.
On the new models it is not clear how the Man and power buttons work.If you unplug the vacuum cleaner from the socket while using a power tool, the automatic function remains active when you switch it back on or you must press l before switching on the tool in use. 'switchvacuum cleaner?
Hello and thanks for the question. We are based in Australia so these are made for 240v operation. In most cases they are modified to suit the country you are based in if you buy locally.
I got this ct 15 and using it with a planex 2. For some reason it doesnt seem to suck as well anymore even tho its new. Should I be cleaning out the bag?
yes you could either: clean check the filter, check the fitting to ensure they are tight, empty bag (as you said, whilst they have a full capacity all vacuums worked at their optimum level up to about 50% capacity, further to that safety (against combustion) you shouldn't let the bag fill up too much either. ) hope that helps One Man!
@@MarquesFlooring thank you. Your vacuum is too exceptional, lol, literally. It actually filled up the bag in a very quick time, unexpected to be honest . However for the amount of work im putting in, I am choosing to return this unit CT-15 and will be purchasing the CT-48 on Friday. Can you give me the part number for the hose needed with the CT-48?
@@oneman7638 well that is good news then! too good! haha. Where are you located as the codes may be different for different countries? the store you purchase the vacuum from should be able to advise which hose, often they come with the purchase anyway?
Was hoping to use a hose from my ct midi but the midi hose has an elbow end. This ct15 requires a straight connector because it fits deep into the top. Also since the man selector is electronic I can’t use a second party remote switch. Are there any options for remote start when using non festool cordless tools?
Hello, would it work for you if you had a reducer fitting to fit your non festool machine, then have a remote bluetooth switch on the end of the festool hose?
Is it compatible with other tools for example I have a triton router it’s the 3 1/4 hp and I have that on my router/will the hose that comes with the dust extractor fit on that tool and other different brand tools that I have
Hey Leonard, it is compatible with most other machinery as most are standard size. If not, however, there are adapters that help to connect to non standard sizes as well. does that help?
Hello, great question, the 1200 watts is an Australian bi-law, however with the Festool range of products and the electronics, inlcuding soft starts etc, you can operate the 1600 watt Kapex. There is an overload on the extractor in case it goes over. If you use a non festool machine however without the electronics that Festool has, it could cause an issue. If you are concerned or unsure, you can also plug the machine straight into the wall and use the bluetooth connection. Hope this helps!

Good tip! thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy your new Festool!
Thanks for the video! I had no idea what to do with the filter bag!
Great machine
Exellent! Thanks for the video!.
Hi! Thanx for video! Is it good enough to use it with Planex 2 sander?
Yes you can. Depending on how must dust in generated will determine how long it lasts however!

I've got this, the end of the hose that fits the tool is forever coming off!!! driving me nuts
maybe a reducer fitting might solve the problem? it should be s snug fit!
I don't know why festool vacuums remind me of old school office printers... really cool vac though
haha now that you say that, it does look similar to our office printer! haha
@@MarquesFlooring Now that you say that, i want a festool office printer. (which runs reliably for 15 years)
I went to buy it....today. but they don't stock it. They only do a dearer model

if it is with the bluetooth function it still works without being plugged in, but would need to be linked up of course.
Hi there,
Have a question does mirka deros fit is this one ? Tnx already. Nice vid
Hello, with the adapter fittings, all machines/hoses should work with this. Where are you located in Australia? We are Mirka dealers as well :)
@@MarquesFlooring No Im from Netherlands 😊 tnx for answer
How many volts is the plug?

At 1200 watts feeding power , this can't be used with the Kapex K120 REB then ?

@@MarquesFlooring Appreciate your quick reply . I'm in the market for a new system ( saw , vacuum and table ) and I'm researching Festool . Thanks.
The extensions are so short
The hose or the wand part of it? both can be extended if needed!
butttt.... can u stack systeiners on it?
No, you got us there, this is the only model that doesn’t stack, it really should. The smallest size however so it is easy to carry etc

The term "entry level" has always pissed me off. It implies that it needs to be replaced at some point. A purchase for suckers.
Entry level and it’s really light and way over priced .
