I have the large metal case kit that came with the dust extractor. I use it with a "Sand and Kleen" system designed for sanding drywall. This precipitates the dust under water and is lightweight--making it a delight to use. The only real concern is adapting into non-typical vacuum hoses like that system to the extractor. I have used it everywhere--plaster patches/wood work, shutters with the adapter and find the extraction on this device to be far more effective than most other sanders.

I see no reason why Fein cannot simply attach a dust bag to the sander just like is commonly done by manufacturers of all the various palm sanders! But no, that would be too easy! Fein's dust extraction adapter requires a hose, and attachment to a separate vacuum. This makes the sander more cumbersome and complicated to use (although it arguably improves the efficiency of dust removal). On the plus side, the adapter itself is well engineered.

Another problem is that neither of the 2 supplied vacuum hose adapters in the kit seem to fit any common vacuum hoses! ...

works great--only problem I have is connecting to my shop vac--not quite the ideal connector match.
