Aren't factors like these at least as important as new hoses/bluetooth connectivity/tougher plastic? Or perhaps more important, given the principal purpose of a dust extractor?

I'd really appreciate an answer from Festool about this, but fellow Foggers, feel free to chime in.

Nah, once all the basics are taken care off, people will find other "wants" and so we end up with a near perfect vac where the biggest thing to bitch about was apparently the hose.

Hi Everyone

I have just uploaded a video about the new hose garage and Bluetooth. I started a thread about it here:

Thanks fellow Foggers - some great contributions there.

Particularly loved the "near perfect vac" as "all the basics are taken care of" - reassuring to know there's nothing actually that can be improved with respect to the principal function of these extractors.

Thanks to Peter too, for drawing our attention back to the topic at hand - the new hose garage and Bluetooth.

Improved performance in the efficiency of the extractors seems to be a non starter then, as far as it's users are concerned. Perhaps a representative of Festool could comment? - Is the airflow improved? Have there been any changes in the design of the new extractors which improve the efficiency of the dust collection? Is the exhausted air cleaner?

Gotta love the new hose though.

Sounds good, but I think you've jumped the gun Leakyroof - that's for the next facelift.  8)
