Verdict

The Einhell TE-AV 18/15 Li C-Solo is a cordless ash vacuum in the 18 V Power X-Change range. It combines a 15-litre stainless-steel tank, 100 mbar suction, a 1.2 m metal-reinforced hose and a push-button filter-cleaning function; four castors and a blower improve handling. It is supplied without battery or charger, and fine ash still requires regular filter care.
