Verdict

The Draper 95170 is a 20V cordless canister ash vacuum cleaner running on the D20 interchangeable battery system, delivering a 110W power output, 8.0kPa vacuum pressure, and 16L/s of airflow. Specifically built for clearing cold ash from stoves, fireplaces, and barbecues, it features a 12-litre container capacity, a pre-installed HEPA dust filter, and a 1-meter heat-resistant hose with a 36.5mm diameter. Key pros include its highly portable, lightweight design weighing just 2.3kg, and the convenience of coming packaged with a 3.0Ah Li-ion battery and a fast charger. However, its main cons include a relatively loud 79dB noise level, a single power setting limitation, and a restriction to domestic or DIY outdoor use rather than demanding commercial tasks.
