BACOENG 5.3-Gallon Ash Vacuum with Double Stage Filtration System, 10 Amp Ash Vacuum for Pellet Stoves with 1200W Powerful Suction, 5FT Metal Hose and 360° Rotating Wheel

I purchased this product after my last ash vacuum just stopped working one day. At first I was a little hesitant because of the price but I decided to try it and I was not disappointed!I have been using this product since March of 2023 and it is still going strong. This ash vacuum is great! Here are my Pros and Cons:- Pros1. It's very light weight and Very easy to assemble.2. Size is reasonable for an ash vac, the one I had was smaller and this one hold twice the amount.3. Very easy to take apart and clean out. comes apart in 3 easy sections.4. The suction power is very powerful and awesome for really getting those bit of ash/dirt in the corners.5. Comes with a great set of accessories, I personally use the small brush head all the time.6. Reasonable price and quality parts.Cons: Not really any except the that maybe a better design for the part of the handle that will allow you to clamp the hose on to the unit for when you are done using it. Mine seems to not want to stay clamped on so the hose is always just draped on top of it when stored. I also wish they sold some of the accessory parts separate so I can get extras.I do suggest getting extra filter kit for this product because you will need to replace those eventually and it's probably good to just have them when you need them instead of having to wait for them to be shipped in.

Works great, very powerful. Top heavy but light and easy to carry. Easy to clean filters. I highly recommend for cleaning around fireplace/wood stove.

I was skeptical of this vacuum as I have tried many other vacuums for my pellet stove. All seem to clog the filters up in less and a minute or two due to the ash being very fine from a pellet stove. After I assembled this witch was very easy. I was super impressed I have cleaned my pellet stove 10+ times over the course of a month or so and it has never lost any suction and does not allow any dust or ash to escape the exhaust port. The only reason I am not giving 5 starts is the caster wheels that attach to the bottom of the barrel are very flimsy and don’t sit on well the fall off occasionally if you are carrying it from one place to another. But the cord length, and hose length are perfect and I especially love the brush and crevice tool it comes with. Over all it functions just as advertised and is a great product would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a good vacuum to clean out a pellet stove.

I love this little Vacuum. It will sit in the corner behind the wood stove during the months we aren't using the stove, but this vacuums up the ash that gets spilled when using an ash scoop. It is very convenient. I love it!

How many reviews start with "I really wanted to like this.."? This is another.This vacuum does have strong suction, and the power cord and vacuum hose are plenty long. It is a bit noisy, but not terribly so. As some have said, it is a little tipsy because the motor is on the top, but it is manageable if you're aware.Also not a real issue, but during assembly, pay attention to the locations to which you assemble the casters. The indicators on the bottom of the can might have you place a caster directly under the inlet - making the pocket on top of the caster assembly useless for storage of the extensions.Pay attention to the direction of exhaust and make sure it's opposite the intake, otherwise you get quite a breeze in the direction of pickup.The two real issues, for me, are that the hose can clog very (very) easily. In our fireplace, there are often chunks (essentially charcoal left after burning) which are too large for the hose. The metal nozzle is weirdly designed so that its intake is larger then the inside of the hose, thus can ingest a chunk which will lodge in the narrower section. I made a screen from hardware cloth which helps.The second is that the primary filter clogs very quickly and decreases suction rapidly. The "full" indicator is activated after a very short session. It IS fine ash, of course, but there's no easy way to clear this filter without disassembly (tapping on the metal can doesn't do much). Which, by the way, you won't wish to do anywhere you don't want ash on the floor.So, yes, I'm keeping it, but if I were starting over, I'd look for a unit with a 2 1/2 inch hose and a way (design or mechanism) to unclog the primary filter easily.

Just what we needed, makes clean up a whiz.

This ash sweeper has some serious suction power over my old ash vac , and I will tell yah this filter cleans up in nothing flat ,and the can chamber is taller so the ashes don't burn the filter as there being sucked in ,as in some.cases the ashes are still hot at the bottom and don't stop the sweeper in time this ones filter survives this , where as the 3 year old shorter ash vacum I burned up I dont know how many primary filters on jt ,no more will.have that happen to this one by bacoeng, its a v shape and however its been made this primary filter it cleans way easier than the older ash vacs I've had in the past 5 years. So anyway this taller can ash vac by bacoeng is money well spent . And its powerful
