The Festool CTL 36 EI Cleantec is an L Class mobile dust extractor. It runs on 240V mains and holds 36 litres. It suits joiners, fitters and workshop users who want a compact unit that links to their Festool tools. Can it cope with wet jobs too? Yes it handles both wet and dry extraction.
L Class approval covers dust with exposure limits above 1 mg/m³. That fits most wood and plaster work. Suction peaks at 3,900 l/min with a maximum vacuum of 24,000 Pa. You get five suction levels to match the job. A SELFCLEAN filter bag and a main filter come in the box. The filter bag holds 34 litres.
Bluetooth is built in. A compatible Festool cordless tool or the optional remote starts the extractor for you. With corded tools the outlet module switches both on together. Large pivoting rollers have a brake. The unit weighs 15.3 kg. A hose holder and cable winder keep the 7.5 m cable tidy. T-LOC lets you clip Systainers on top.
So why pick this one? It is a compact L Class unit with automatic tool start and wet and dry extraction. It suits sanding, sawing and general site cleaning. Festool backs it with a manufacturer warranty against defects.
