Verdict

The Ovation RL095 (also known as HT690) is a 15-litre bagless canister ash vacuum cleaner equipped with an 800W low-noise motor designed for clearing cold debris from fireplaces, log burners, and BBQs. Weighing 3.5kg, this compact unit features an integrated HEPA filtration system to trap fine dust particles, a 1m flexible hose paired with an aluminum tube, and a 2.5m power cord. Main pros include its lightweight design, strong suction performance, dual cloth and washable filter layers, and optional blower functionality. However, notable cons include frequent filter clogging that requires regular manual shaking, alongside a relatively short hose and electrical cable that restrict total cleaning reach.
