The verdictOur take

The CTM 36 EI AC is Festool's 240V M class wet & dry extractor with AUTOCLEAN, a 36L container, 65 l/s of airflow and 24 kPa of suction at 15.2kg. M class covers wood, filler, concrete and silica dust, and the big container with automatic filter cleaning suits long runs of sanding, chasing and cutting, plus a 1,800W tool socket and built-in Festool Bluetooth start. We rate it a high-capacity M class; the CTM 26 EI AC is lighter at 14.7kg with 26L, and the CTM 36 EI AC-PLANEX has a 36mm hose for the PLANEX LHS 225.
