Decent machine. It sucks quite well, seems sturdy and of good quality. Ideal for a pellet stove because for a fireplace, it clogs quite quickly. I emptied it 3 times to clean a full fireplace but I would be unfair to take away a star for that. The washable filter is good

Honest choice. It has a powerful suction power of 1200W and can also function as a blower (personally, I wouldn't try it on the wood stove). Its bin is 15 liters, the length of the cord is 2.5m, and the length of the hose with internal metal lining is 1.2m, which is sufficient for me. It is noisy, like all ash vacuums, and it heats up. Given that it doesn't take more than 3-5 minutes to collect the ash, this is not a problem. The HEPA filter doesn't allow dust or odor to pass through. I just hope there will be a replacement when it needs to be changed. As for its bin, it is black and metallic (including the bottom), but it is integrated into a black plastic base, on which 4 plastic wheels are assembled. We never collect ash unless the stove/fireplace has completely cooled down! Made in China. It is generally well-made and attractive, which is important because it will be in high demand daily during the cold weather. It would be very practical if it had a place for the hose and cord when not in use, which is why I give it 4 stars, also because I have had it for a short time. If it withstands the test of time, it will be value for money.

Decent vacuum that does what it's supposed to do. Probably powerful. The good length of the hose and the metal tip are a bonus, however, it has a fatal flaw that makes it completely useless for ash vacuuming. While the sides and top are metal and protected from hot embers, the bottom is completely plastic. I can easily see a hot ember burning a hole through the bottom. Completely unacceptable in my opinion. Note that the manufacturer warns not to vacuum hot coals with an electric vacuum and that the ash must be completely cold. But you understand how often you have mistakenly stirred ash thinking it was completely cold and found a hot ember. They shouldn't call it an ash vacuum with a plastic bottom.
