A Festool representative said that the static electricity generated by the Ultimate Festool Dust Deputy may damage the micro-electronics of the Festool vacuums. I've had one for years on my Festool CT 22E vacuum and was considering getting one for my Festool CT 26E vacuum. Any advice?

According to Oneida, the Ultimate Dust Deputy has all the components necessary to prevent potential issues with static electricity. Early production models did have static electricity discharge problems, which were quickly addressed by Oneida. We have many customers who have purchased and use the Ultimate Dust Deputy with their Festool dust extractor without issues.However, according to Festool's warranty policy, they may deny warranty repair if they determine that damage was caused from the use of any non-FESTOOL accessories or attachments. http://www.festoolusa.com/service/warranty/We would recommend that you visit the Festool Owners Group for more feedback from actual Festool customers who own and use both products. There are many existing conversations about the topic. http://festoolownersgroup.com/
