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.

Summary of the review

Cordless Ash Vacuum Cleaner: tested | Einhell Advisor

Einhell’s practical test found the TE-AV 18/15 Li C-Solo powerful and highly mobile, with cordless Power X-Change operation, a 15-liter stainless-steel tank, push-button filter cleaning, blower mode, accessory storage, and four swivel casters. Freedom from a power cord is its main advantage, while reliance on a charged battery and its inability to collect liquids are the practical limitations.
