Review on πŸ”₯ ASHJ201 4.8 Gallon 4 Amp Ash Vacuum: Efficient Cleaning Solution for Fireplaces and Stoves by Laura Thomas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not very good for the price

I'm having some issues with this vacuum cleaner. First, the suction power is not very good. I didn't expect it to compete with my Dyson but I expected more than I got. Which leads to my second problem, which is that it clogs a lot. The first time I cleaned the chimney I had to clear 3 or 4 clogs. Unclogging is a bit of a mess, plus you have to remove the hose and that causes the ash to spurt out. The capacity leaves a lot to be desired as well, I have a medium sized fireplace and the canister fills up fairly quickly. . The motor and filter take up most of the tank, so there's only as much ash as you can fit before you start to lose suction. The vacuum cleaner can also get into corners and hard-to-reach places with the tool. If I paid 30€ for it I'd be happy, but I don't think it's worth twice as much. Other than that, I'll probably leave the vacuum cleaner. I think for the size of chimney I have the best way to clean it is the old fashioned way, a shovel and bucket. I will use the vacuum to clean nooks, crannies and crevices to keep my Dyson from running. Might work for some with pellets or a small wood stove but for my use I was a bit disappointed.

Pros
  • Fits a lot of people
Cons
