new ctl 36

[Nigel]

I've had a new ctl 36 for  about a week now.I'm impressed,very high suction with no noticeable decrease in use.Sawn and profiled a bit of MDF,no nasty brown dust inside the vac (or my lungs ).Nice and dust free with ts55.New "self-clean" sacks seem very efficient and look almost too good to throw away.Easy to change as is the filter.Hose,cable and systainer storage makes for very tidy transport and the kickstand brake is good ,forget braked castors this is much better.No rolling around in the back of the van.Easy to carry,rolls nicely on big wheels.It's quiet and the tubine noise is easily drowned out by the powertool.There's an option to add a second power outlet which may be handy.I read somewhwere of a blower facility but I don't think there is one.There's no filter cleaning lever and the top lifts off unlike the older models.Presumably the filter cleaning thing is no longer needed.So with high performance,3 years guarantee,extensive accessories and spare parts availability the only thing I regret is not buying one before!I really appreciate the parts availability as I feel confident this is not another throw away machine.I reckon this is a very important point. ;D
