Verdict

The RIBIMEX Babycen is a compact corded-electric ash vacuum cleaner specifically designed for cleaning pellet stoves and removing cold ash. Operating at a voltage of 230V-50Hz, it features a 500W motor that delivers 17 kPa of suction power, alongside an enamelled steel drum with a 4-litre capacity. Weighing only 1.5 kg and measuring 19 x 19 x 33 cm, its key pros include an ultra-lightweight, bagless design equipped with a 3-metre electric cable, a curved metal lance, a flat plastic nozzle, and a washable, replaceable HEPA filter paired with an antistatic pre-filter. However, its notable cons include a relatively small tank capacity, a fixed nozzle setup lacking a traditional flexible suction hose, and decreased performance if the engine and filtration system are not frequently cleaned.
