An extractor you can trust in.
I've used and owned various extractors over the years from different manufacturers, some I've had real nightmares with including an extractor fire, so I know these machines inside out and what I need from an extractor. I purchased this after hunting down a replacement at the best price and this was well worth the purchase. Why? Mainly due to compatibility with tools I use, the feature set including adjustable suction power, automatic filter cleaning, etc. This is a machine designed as a professional tool, not a toy.
I'd like to raise a point on a comment from another review telling customers not to buy this because of the AFC (Auto filter cleaning) function. what total nonsense. Any machine which features a filter cleaning system, whether bosch, nilfisk, festool, etc, all will produce a percussive noise over periods of time, it's the method of finter cleaning and system cleaning in use, it's more a question of getting used to the machine, so the reviewer telling people not to buy this is ridiculous. I've had a few different extractors with filter cleaning, I had to get used to the first one, but after that it was fine. The purpose of filter cleaning is to keep the life of your expensive filters going, it ensures your extractor lasts longer. I've had one non filter cleaning machine catch fire due to a filter fault while sanding and I never forget that, It was designed for the jobs needed but clearly there was something wrong and the mmanufacturer I won't mention here caused nothing but problems.
I am proud of this machine and would highly recommend it. If you have the Bosch L-boxx system as part of your setup, you can connect a box to the top of the vac system and move your setup, whether it's an empty l-boxx to hold extractor accessories, or a router case, saw case, etc, it makes life so much easier. I highly recommend this machine to anyone looking for a shop / site vac to upport power tools, such as sanders, saws, routers, etc.
