great little vac works great

I spent quite an amount of time on research to get a vacuum for my Rec-Teq 700 pellet smoker. Many who had already bought a vacuum for this purpose said that a standard vacuum can work, but you can have ash blow through or shorter motor life because the wood pellet ash is so fine and it can bypass normal vacuum filters. I decided to NOT have this be a jack of all trades shop vac, since it is not designed to pick up liquids anyway, and just get a vacuum for the smoker.I've only had it 2 weeks now, but I am very happy with it. Good suction power. Small profile. The tank is more vertical then horizontal like some shop vacs. Cord is rated to vacuum up "warm" coals (fireplace or stove). I only use it when the smoker is off and pellet ash is cold.Double filter system for vacuuming up very fine ash and keeping it out of the motor. Not too loud by vacuum standards. Comes on casters for easy portability. Nice long 4 foot AC cord.It comes with the option to get upholstery tool, long wand, and floor vacuum head, but since I am not going to use it as a general shop vac, I ordered the unit without the attachments which saves $15.

This vac works really well. Unlike my last one, it runs a long time without turning off from over heating. It performs great and the filter catches ALL the ashes. It is also light weight (physically). Very happy with all that. There are a few small negatives. The first is the exhaust. It is at the top and lows horizontally which goes right into the ashes you are trying to remove. I fixed that by wrapping a strip of cardboard around the circumference of the canister to deflect it vertically. Second are the wheels. The vac is fairly tall a small in diameter so it is top heavy. The wheels snap in place but don’t stay where you snap them on so as they move around the circumference it may want to tip over. I ordered a second set of wheel in hopes of making it more stable. Still waiting for them. If you don’t mind making these minor alterations I highly recommend it. It is the only reason I didn’t give it five stars.

Replaced an old dual filter bag/HEPA ash vac. The old ash vac was costly to run as the bags were disposable and were filled in only a few times of use. This one did have decreasing suction as the vacuuming went on, but I vacuumed up about 2.5 gallons worth (left them longer than I should have) and still had enough suction to finish. Emptied it out tapped the filter several times and suction seems to be restored to full. I feel like if I were cleaning up after a single fire or two, it wouldn't have had noticable suction loss. It does say to empty it every use, which doesn't seem unreasonable. Ashes are notoriously good at clogging filters, so this to me is not unexpected.

Unfortunately, the canister seals don’t appear to work the greatest, and ash blows out. I’ve checked the seal. It’s brand new so it isn’t because of wear and tear and I don’t believe it has anything to do with faultyinstallation. The good news is the suction is great. I think my remedy will be to use a damp towel on the top to at least contain the dust that is leaking out.

Just enough capacity to do fairly large wood stove before suction compromised and needed cleaning. One more fire, and It would have had to be cleaned out mid vacuuming. This isn't an issue because vacuuming makes cleaning so much easier. I used to put off shoveling and lost capacity in the stove because of ash buildup. Prefilter is a great idea and why I chose this model. Works as designed. The only issue was that metal attachment nozzle admits coals large enough to get caught in hose fitting which has a slightly smaller inside diameter. I remedied by squeezing the terminal end of the tube to make it oval shaped so the larger coals can not get stuck. Finally, its loud enough to wear hearing protection, but most shop-vac style vacuums are loud anyway. I think this is a product of the increased suction it has to overcome prefilter loading.

True to its description, it has awesome suction and it’s Orange. The suction only lasts until you use it. Once you suck up ash, the full indicator tells you it’s full even though there is only 1/2 inch of ash in the can. The sticks to the outer filter building up a think layer greatly reducing the suction. Upon taking it apart, like I would to dump it, there was more ash stuck to the filter than there was in the can. There was a layer of ash (2cups worth) on the filter. Once I cleaned it off it had great suction until it touched ash again. I should never have purchased this vacuum. I’ll go back to my 8 year old vacuum and reluctantly keep this as a spare. What a waste of money.
