Great Vac; Bags Grossly Overpriced
The Festool shop vacs are among the very best, if not the very best. In addition to normal shop vacuuming, they can be attached to and electrically coordinated to go on and off with small tools to remove sanding, routing, drilling and other dust. The power of the vacuum can even be modulated to prevent bogging down a sander. On the other hand, it is at least inconvenient, if not next to impossible, to successfully operate the vacuum without a removable bag. Festool prohibits its products from being sold below the prices it establishes for them and the bags for its vacuums are ridiculously expensive, causing one to use another vacuum which can be used without its bags whenever practical. In short, the bags are a great product, but over-priced in my opinion.
Festool quality, what more can you say
Someone here complained about prices for the festool replacement bags. Well, look at it this way: that's the only thing, you ever have to replace with this vacuum. My dad has a Festool vacuum ( back when they were called "festo"), which he bought 25 years ago, and the thing still runs like he just bought it. This is the best quality money can buy. So don't complaint about a $6 bag....
Festool vacuum bags
The bags fit as well as the brand name bags and are somewhat less expensive. Would recommend these bags in place of ordering the original bags from Festool or other suppliers.
