Verdict

The RocwooD RWAC1 is a corded, bagless ash vacuum cleaner equipped with an 800W brushless motor that delivers 18kPa of suction power, paired with a 15-litre heat-resistant metal tank. Weighing 3.5kg to 3.9kg, this compact unit features a built-in ergonomic carry handle, a 2m power cable, and a 1.25-meter flexible metal-lined hose with a durable aluminum nozzle. Its primary advantages include a fully sealed dual filtration system with washable, fire-resistant HEPA and cloth filters to trap ultra-fine particles, alongside a thermal cut-off switch to prevent overheating during use. However, some users have noted that the 2m power cord is relatively short, requiring an extension lead, and that the unit lacks a narrow crevice tool attachment for tight spaces.
