## Description

Product Description Evita las acumulaciones de polvo.Ventajas y beneficiosDe vellón de poliéster de 3 capasDe alto valor, resistente a los desgarrosAplicaciones principalesBolsa filtrante de vellón de gran calidadPara el alojamiento de distintos tipos de polvoY para la descarga sin polvo del material aspiradoAdecuado parapara CT 26aprovechamiento óptimo del volumen de la bolsa filtrante y potencia de aspiración alta y constante, gracias a la bolsa filtrante SELFCLEANpara polvo de la clase Lreutilizablecon certificación FSC™en caja de cartónGarantía all-inclusive From the Manufacturer he new Cleantex CT 26 dist extractor features a self-cleaning filter bag that solves a problem that plagues other dust extractors and vacuums. During normal use, fine particles of dust cling to the inner lining of the filter bag resulting in caking. This coating of dust lowers the effective suction power dramatically resulting in poor extraction efficiency and performance. Caking can also cause additional strain on your dust extractor's motor and contribute to premature failure. Festool has addressed this issue by developing a unique pliable fleece filter bag. Because the bag is not rigid like many other types of bags, such as paper bags, it prevents caking. This means that your Festool CT 26 dust extractor continues to deliver full suction until the bag is virtually completely full. Other manufacturers feet bags do not counter this caking effect and suction is reduced dramatically throughout the use of the bag, often resulting in a situation where suction is lost before the bag is completely full. When this occurs, you're paying full price for a partially used bag. The Festool filter bag also serves as a pre-filter and is able to trap dust particles down to five millionths of a meter, or 5 microns. This is about the same size as a red blood cell. By arresting these small particles, in addition to larger chips, the bag extends the life of your main HEPA filter, reducing wear and tear as well as the expense of frequent filter replacement. Bag disposal is quick and mess-free. An integrated closure on the bag shuts the opening to prevent spilling. The material is made to be tear resistant and prevent bag blow outs which can be messy to clean up. Now, that's smart.Includes five (5) bags.

Review: Superior Product! - First used this CT 26 for plaster/lathe removal. Pulled the first self clean filter bag out, and I am impressed. I've used many commercial grade vacuum cleaner and shop vacs, but this has to be the most impressive. I realize this is the review for the bags - but that's what I'm talking about. The vacuum and bag combo it the most impressive I've seen. The first bag was definitely full, no voids or pockets. It came out of the vac and felt secure. Very little sign of any dust on exterior. I can see how these meet HEPA standard.
Review: The Real Deal (not a knock off) - The box, the markings and the filter material are all right. The self cleaning filter bag works well with less impact on vacuum suction as it becomes loaded. The bags have a lot of capacity and filter well enough to help protect the separate HEPA filter. I've used the Festool vac. inside of the house to smooth out a solid oak table top, no dust. I won't risk damage to my expensive CT26 Festool shop vac by using less expensive bags with marginal reviews. The first desertcart purchase of these last me years, I'm looking for the repeat with the 2nd purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product
*by C***D on December 3, 2010*

These dust extractor bags are so superior to other bags on the market that I promise you will never go back to conventional vacuum bags. The bags completely fill up until they are a solid cube of waste unlike the inferior vacuum bags offered by home centers and hardware stores. Though they can only be used with the newer model Festool vacuums, the combination of a self-cleaning filter bag and Festool vacuum (CT26 or CT36) is undeniably the best in the world for what it is intended and not to forget the very reasonable price.
