The verdictOur take

The CTM 36 EI AC-PLANEX is Festool's 240V M class wet & dry extractor set up for the PLANEX LHS 225, with a 36mm bayonet hose, a 36L container, 65 l/s of airflow and 24 kPa of suction at 16.3kg. M class covers wood, filler, concrete and silica dust, and AUTOCLEAN automatic filter cleaning plus the 1,800W tool socket suit long sanding runs. We rate it the right match for PLANEX owners; the CTM 36 EI AC has a 27mm hose for general tools at 15.2kg, and the 110V version suits sites.
