FAQs

How strong is the suction compared to a CT 26 or CT 48?

The CT 36 uses the same high‑performance turbine as the CT 26 and CT 48, so maximum suction power is essentially the same across all three models. The difference is capacity, not power – the CT 36 holds more than the CT 26 but less than the CT 48, giving you longer run time before changing bags.

How does the AutoClean filter-clearing system work?

AutoClean (AC) automatically pulses air through the main filter while you work, knocking off fine dust to keep suction strong. Cleaning intervals can be set (15, 30, 60, or 120 seconds) or triggered for a full clean when filters are heavily loaded, with settings adjustable via onboard controls or the Festool app.

How often does the filter or bag need to be changed?

With AutoClean active, filters last noticeably longer because buildup is continuously cleared. Filter bags are typically changed only when full, and the main HEPA filter requires replacement far less often than non‑AutoClean models, especially during drywall, sanding, or fine‑dust work.
