Verdict

The KEKAI KT1201 Trajano Inox is a corded electric ash vacuum cleaner and blower designed with a 1200W motor, an 18-liter stainless steel tank, and a washable HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of fine particles. Measuring 30x30x33.5 cm and weighing 2.8 kg, it delivers a suction capacity of 18 kPa and an airflow of 1.6 m³/min through an 80 cm flexible hose with an aluminum nozzle. Main pros include its dual vacuum/blower functionality that helps revive coals, a highly durable 0.4 mm thick stainless steel body, and easy emptying via secure top-locking latch tabs. However, notable cons include a relatively short 150 cm power cable that restricts movement, a strict limitation to cold debris under 40°C, and a tendency for the filter to clog quickly if exposed to wet ash.
