Verdict

The Techwood TACS-1226 is a corded ash vacuum with adjustable 800 to 1200 W power, 16 kPa suction and a 20-litre metal tank, with some specifications listing 18 litres of usable capacity. Its integrated HEPA filter, heat-resistant metal hose and blower function make it suited to stove, fireplace and barbecue cleanup. It has no wheels and needs a nearby power outlet, so the working radius is limited; follow the manufacturer's temperature guidance for ash.
