The filter clean cycle is noisy but just sounds like muted banging. If you are using normal bags you don't need to have it engaged.
Muted banging is an improvement on it sounds like you're knocking down walls!
Also my Bosch has a 35 litre capacity so the idea of a smaller unit appeals.
Cheers for the info.

I've got the CTL36 in my (tiny) workshop. I've also got a CTM36 with the Planex.

I've only used the heavy duty reusable bag with the planex when I'm sanding filler. It requires you to use it when sanding filler, the pores on a normal hoover bag clog with the amount of fine filler the planex can create.
It's like a big thick black dustbin bag and it works, the filter clean cycle removes filler from the filter and the bag fills up, you can empty it into another container and reuse it.
Both of them are portable but when they're full they are a handful on small staircases. The full bags must weigh close to 20kgs.
I've only tried the bluetooth with the button that connects to the hose and it works perfectly, whether it works with other stuff I don't know as I've not been through the connection process for any other tools.
