POWERTEC 496187 Self-Clean Filter Bag for Festool CT 26-5PK, Compatible with CT26, CT26 E, CTL26, CTM26 Dust Extractors (75037)

I’ve been using these self-clean filter bags in my Festool CT MINI and CT MIDI (2019+), and they fit perfectly. Installation is straightforward, with no wrestling or “almost fits” nonsense. Once installed, they seal properly and don’t collapse or clog like cheaper aftermarket bags. The self-cleaning function actually works — airflow stays strong even during longer sanding and cutting sessions, and I’m not constantly stopping to check suction. Dust containment is excellent, which is especially noticeable with fine sanding dust. They feel well-made and durable, and I haven’t experienced tearing or leaks. These are a great alternative to OEM bags if you want reliable performance without sacrificing your vacuum’s efficiency. If you rely on your dust extractor and want consistent suction and clean operation, these are absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

Fine replacement bags

Works close to original

Fit perfect at a much lower cost

Drip in replacement for OEM product. Will buy again when needed.

Nice alternative to the OEM bags from Festool! At a fraction of the price, I can't tell the difference between the OEM and the Powertec replacements.

So far, so good. This is a much more realistic price for vacuum bags rather than Festool’s. They charge $42 for the same thing powertec makes. 100% no brainer

Great for fool shop vac

Works perfectly, arguably even better somehow. Mostly used on new construction.

Good value a d function

Great product , but regular price can $44.00 is to high , cause original festool bags are can $61.00 so makes no sense to buy aftermarket product

These work just like the name brand ones. Save your money and get these! I have CT 36 AC and they fit perfectly.

Good value.
