Verdict

The Kaminer Famins 1162 is a 1200 W ash vacuum with a sealed 20-litre stainless-steel tank, dual HEPA and textile filtration, and a blower function. A folding handle, four removable wheels and a 2 m galvanized hose improve mobility for fireplace, barbecue and workshop cleanup. Its 2 m power cable limits reach, and it should be used only with cooled ash.
