I have the midi for general stuff but also the ct33 for kapex and site clean up with the larger hoses and builders cleaning set steel /chrome , and like many others on the forum i have now gone onto the ct26 i would say go 26 for an all rounder as the 33 is a beast to carry up six flights of stairs , longlife bag on the 33 is a big plus , did dean social mention on here that you could adapt a Henry bag to fit the mini or midi ? i recently did a lot of cuts with the ts55 followed by routering then the cms then shooting some doors in i left the 33 on another job and boy did i go through some bags on the midi , and yes how did festool omit long life bags perhaps too much money to be made from disposable ones although i have the choice now with the ct26, all that said these extractors are very quiet compared to some others i have had the misfortune to have had to endure from other contractors. green .
