Verdict

The RIBIMEX ASHMax PRCEN016 is a corded electric ash vacuum cleaner designed for extracting cold ash from fireplaces, stoves, and barbecues. It is powered by a 1000 W motor operating at 230 V (50 Hz), generating a suction power of 17 kPa and a 77 dB noise level. Key characteristics include an 18-litre heat-resistant metal container, a bagless design, a 3 m power cable, an integrated accessory trolley base with 4 pivoting wheels, a 110 cm flexible metal hose, and a 20 cm lance. Its main pros center around high mobility from its wheeled chassis, a dual-handle configuration, and a dual-filtration system comprising a washable HEPA filter and a self-extinguishing pre-filter that traps 99.97% of ultra-fine dust and particles. However, notable cons include its limitation strictly to cold ash, its bulky profile, a relatively short suction tube length, and a recurring need to frequently clean the filter to prevent suction loss.
