The Festool CT MIDI I HEPA isn’t just a dust extractor—it’s a lifestyle choice. Do I need HEPA-certified German suction for my little garage shop where I’m cutting plywood for yet another “rustic” coffee table? Absolutely not. But now, when I turn it on, it sounds like angels singing in metric.
The suction is so strong I’m convinced it could pull the regret out of my soul. It whispers to the dust, “auf Wiedersehen,” and the dust just obeys. My old shop vac used to scream like a banshee—this one hums like a BMW at idle. A BMW that cost slightly less than this vacuum, by the way.
The hose garage? It’s not storage—it’s art. Wrapping the hose on top feels like docking the mothership. The Bluetooth remote? I press it once, and suddenly I’m the Elon Musk of sawdust. And when it auto-starts with my track saw? Let’s just say my marriage has never been the same.
Yes, it’s small. Yes, it costs more than my mortgage. But every time I roll it across the floor and hear the soft purr of its wheels, I feel superior to anyone with a Home Depot bucket and a Shop-Vac. This isn’t just dust collection—it’s spiritual dust redemption.
Would I buy it again? Already did. One for the shop, one for the bedroom. Don’t judge me.
