Verdict

The RIBIMEX Cenetop is a 1200 W, 17 kPa ash vacuum with an 18-litre lacquered metal tank. It combines a washable HEPA filter and antistatic prefilter with a pneumatic filter-cleaning button, blower function, 1.30 m metal hose and four-wheel trolley. It is designed for fully cooled ash; the operating noise and limited cable and hose reach are its main compromises.
