Key Features

Strong Dust Control

The Festool CT MIDI I HEPA Bluetooth Dust Extractor Elite Bundle gives you 130 CFM suction from a compact extractor, so you can keep dust under control at the tool and spend less time cleaning up after the cut.

Actually Ready to Work

This is not just the extractor by itself. You also get filter bags, a reusable Longlife bag, a HEPA filter, and a standard cleaning set in a Systainer, which makes it a more complete jobsite and shop setup right out of the box.

Smarter Operation

Integrated Bluetooth capability, tool-triggered auto-on, touch controls, and manual filter cleaning make day-to-day use easier when you are bouncing between sanding, cutting, and jobsite cleanup.

Overview

The Festool CT MIDI I HEPA Bluetooth Dust Extractor Elite Bundle is a compact mobile dust extractor kit built around the Festool 574837 CT MIDI I, plus the key filters, bags, and cleaning accessories that make it more useful from day one. This is a dust extractor designed for dust collection, tool-triggered cleanup, and general jobsite or shop vacuum work. If you want one system that handles sanding dust, saw cleanup, and floor or bench cleanup without dragging around a bulky shop vacuum, this bundle is aimed right at that job. Model Number: CTMIDI ELITE.

The main reason this bundle matters is that the CT MIDI I balances portability with real extraction performance. Festool rates the extractor at 130 CFM, with a 3.9 gallon container capacity, so it is sized for common woodworking, remodeling, and punch-list work where you need solid dust control without jumping up to a much larger unit. The extractor itself weighs 19.2 pounds, which is light enough to move through a house, load into a van, or carry where space is tight. Festool also lists noise as 62 dB on the low setting, which matters when you are working indoors around clients, finished spaces, or other trades.

Festool built the CT MIDI I around everyday usability, not just suction numbers. The touch control panel replaces traditional knobs, which makes the controls easier to use with gloves on and easier to wipe clean when dust builds up. Integrated tool-triggered auto-on operation means the extractor starts with the connected tool, so you are not constantly walking back to the vacuum. Variable suction lets you back the airflow down when working with lighter material or when full pull is not needed. That kind of control matters with sanding, detail work, and interior jobs where you want dust collection without fighting the hose.

Jobsite practicality is one of the better reasons to step into this system. Festool includes an 11-1/2 foot anti-static hose with a braided sleeve, which helps reduce snagging on edges, guide rails, and work surfaces. The integrated hose storage compartment and hose garage keep the setup cleaner in transit, and the flat top works with Festool’s stackable Systainer storage system. Large wheels and double casters make the extractor easier to roll over cords, thresholds, and shop clutter than a basic canister vacuum.

Dust performance is backed up by proper filtration. The included HEPA filter is described as providing 99.97% efficiency down to 0.3 microns, which is the kind of number buyers look for when the work involves fine wood dust and indoor air quality matters. Festool also added a manual filter cleaning mechanism and easy filter access without opening the machine. In plain terms, that means you can restore suction more quickly when the filter or bag starts loading up, and you are not wasting time tearing the unit apart just to service it.

Where this Elite Bundle separates itself from buying the extractor alone is the accessory package. You get a 5-pack of self-cleaning fleece filter bags, a Longlife reusable filter bag for non-hazardous dust, an extra HEPA filter, and the Standard Cleaning Set with Systainer3 M 137. That cleaning set expands the extractor from a tool-mounted dust solution into a more complete cleanup system for floors, corners, and finished surfaces. For contractors and serious DIY users, that means fewer add-on purchases later.

There is also a real system angle here. Bluetooth is built into the extractor, but automatic wireless activation requires either the optional Festool Bluetooth remote control or a Bluetooth-enabled battery, both sold separately. The included replacement bags and HEPA filter fit the Festool CT 15, CT MINI I, and CT MIDI I 2019 and newer models, and Festool specifically notes they are not compatible with older CT MINI and MIDI units made before 2019. If you are already in the Festool ecosystem, that compatibility matters because it keeps consumables and storage more standardized.

Who should buy this? Woodworkers, remodelers, finish carpenters, installers, and anybody doing dust-producing indoor work will get the most out of it. It is especially well suited for users who need a portable dust extractor for sanding, track saw work, cleanup between tasks, and transport in and out of a vehicle. If you only need a basic shop vacuum for rough cleanup, this is more system than you need. If you care about mobility, dust control, filtration, and having the right accessories bundled from the start, this is the smarter buy.

Compact Extractor, Real Jobsite Suction

This setup gives you the mobility of a smaller vacuum without dropping into light-duty performance. For finish work, remodeling, and shop-to-van transport, that is the sweet spot.

• 130 CFM airflow for dust extraction and cleanup
• 3.9 gallon container capacity for common on-site tasks
• 19.2 pound extractor is easier to carry and load than larger units

Filtration That Makes Indoor Work Easier

Fine dust is what lingers in the air and makes cleanup harder later. The included HEPA filtration is one of the main reasons this bundle makes sense for interior work and woodworking.

• HEPA filtration rated at 99.97% efficiency down to 0.3 microns
• Manual filter cleaning helps restore suction when the system starts loading up
• Easy filter access means faster maintenance between tasks

More Than Just the Vacuum

Buying the bundle saves you from piecing together the consumables and cleanup accessories later. That matters if you want one order that covers extraction, maintenance, and cleanup tools.

• Includes both disposable self-cleaning fleece bags and a reusable Longlife bag
• Standard cleaning set expands the extractor into a more complete cleanup system
• Systainer3 storage keeps the cleaning accessories organized and transport-friendly

• Who it’s for: Pros and serious DIY users doing interior remodeling, woodworking, finish work, and regular cleanup where portability and cleaner air matter.
• Why it stands out: You get the compact Festool extractor with strong filtration, Bluetooth capability, manual filter cleaning, and a genuinely useful accessory package instead of a stripped-down bare setup.
• Worth knowing: Wireless Bluetooth auto-start is built in, but you still need the optional remote or a Bluetooth-enabled battery to use that feature. Also, the included Longlife bag is only for non-hazardous dust.
