Festool vs Off-brand Dust Collector Bags?

[dlu]

I need to order some more CT36 dust collector bags and noticed that POWERTEC makes a 496186 compatible bag with decent reviews at about half the cost on Amazon. Does anybody have experience with these?

Never seen those, but thanks for posting about them. Good to know there are some other options out there for bags.

I recently saw another post about POWETEC bags on the FOG and saw this warning:http://festoolownersgroup.com/festo...e-koolaid-sure-is-tasty/msg565003/#msg565003.  Even though I'm pretty much only sucking up wood and sawdust, this was enough for me to just stick with Festool bags.

I have been using them for a year in my CT36 & MINI without any problems.
