Great for owners of pellet stoves & wood stoves!,
I finally tired of cleaning the ashes out of my pellet stove with a 30 year old Craftsman shopvac. It’s a heavy duty machine, but it’s huge, awkward in the house on its casters, and howls like a Lear Jet taking off. Emptying it is not pretty, either, requiring a shower afterwards, at least.
The Armor All shopvac is exactly right for the job: easy to tote, plenty of suction, a motor sound that doesn’t scare cats on the next ranch over, and maybe most important, easy to clean. The included attachments are also appropriate and handy.
NOTE: for fireplace ashes and drywall dust, which are extremely fine, the manufacturer recommends an optional fine filter, and this is important, as the powdery dust from ashes will work through a regular filter and burn out the motor.
ALSO NOTE: I called the number for parts in the manual to order that fine filter, and a helpful representative gave me an absolutely super extra tip: mount a regular paper vacuum bag over the inflow tube in the canister and collect the ashes in that. If you do (and I did) hardly any ash gets through to the filter over the motor, and you can simply remove the bag and drop it in the garbage instead of turning the canister over and dumping the ashes in a choking cloud of dust. They carry the bags, too, though I had some leftover bags with a collar gasket that just fit over the inflow tube and those worked well too.)
Powerhouse vac in a compact package!,
My two little dogs who are terrified of my house vacuum actually don’t even pay this one any mind at all. One typically runs and hides while the other follows me around barking madly at it–but with this little shop vac they even kept coming up to it while I’m using it with no barking.
The machine is also quite stable sitting low on the floor so it doesn’t tip over. The hose has a good length to it and it comes with several different head attachments that work great! I can also attach my straight hose extensions from my upright vac to this.
UPDATE: OMG not long after I posted this I was spring cleaning – using a hose from my apartment to wash down the patio when I heard something running behind me. Turn around and the whole dining room area is flooded from a leak in the hose!!! So I promptly turned off the water, changed the filter from the cloth to the water filter in this little vac and proceeded to test its wet suction! SUPER HAPPY! It worked like a dream. From a huge spreading puddle to dry floors in minutes! Highly recommend.
I haven’t tried the wet part yet or the “blow” part either but if the suction works this well, then I’m sure I’ll have no worries.
Great car vacuum,
