I was sanding my wooden table witch i am going to repaint in dark chocolate brown i use the Compact Model C9 , to suck the saw dust and dirt no suction lost at all if any .
I did change the bag tho ,It was CAKED IN SAW DUST and i mean caked !... So to limit strain on the motor i changed it half way or two third and continue vacuuming and my god ! That vacuum pick up every single droplet of saw dust and did not loose power at all!!! I also clean the cloth bag I love using my compact model c9 vacuum .I cannot wait to obtain my golden gliter tools .
