Verdict

The Kaminer 15L is a bagless 1200 W ash vacuum with a 15-litre stainless-steel tank, 20 kPa suction and 35 l/s airflow. Its washable HEPA filter and fabric prefilter, metal-reinforced 1 m hose and blower function suit routine fireplace cleaning. The 2 m cable and short hose restrict mobility, and the unit is intended only for fully cooled ash.
