Verdict

The Einhell TC-AV 1618 D is a 1200 W ash vacuum with 160 mbar suction and an 18-litre metal tank. A pleated filter and textile prefilter help control fine dust, while the metal-reinforced 1 m hose, aluminium tube and blower function support fireplace and barbecue cleaning. Its 2 m cable and short hose restrict the working radius, and the filter needs regular cleaning.
