Verdict

The RIBIMEX ASHMax PRCEN015 is a corded electric ash vacuum cleaner designed exclusively for cold ash removal from fireplaces, pellet stoves, and barbecues. It is equipped with a 1000 W motor producing 17 kPa of negative pressure, an 18-liter heat-resistant metal container, a 3-meter electric cable, and a filtration system featuring a washable HEPA filter paired with a self-extinguishing, anti-static pre-filter capable of retaining 99.97% of fine dust particles. Main advantages include its robust dual-handle portable design, an efficient multi-stage filtration process that prevents immediate motor clogging, and a generous tank capacity for uninterrupted cleaning. However, it cannot be used for hot embers, plaster powder, or cement dust, and its operation is restricted by the range of the power cord.
