Verdict

The RIBIMEX Cenerix is an ash vacuum available with 800 W or 1200 W power, a 17 kPa vacuum rating and an 18-litre lacquered steel tank. Its washable, replaceable HEPA filter and antistatic prefilter, blower function and 1.10 m metal hose support cold-ash cleanup. The 1.5 m cable and short hose restrict reach, and regular filter care is needed to maintain suction.
