Valiant FIR275, Portable Mini Ash Vacuum Cleaner-600W with 4 Litre Capacity, Black, 4 liters

Great little vacuum, ideal for cleaning our stove. Small but highly efficient.

Does a fantastic job and much cleaner than brush and pan. The only downside is cleaning the filter after use. There is no bag separation between the filter and the dust as it enters the collection container so the filter is absolutely stuffed with ash and dust even after the smallest use. So while the initial cleaning is mess-free, the post-use cleaning is anything but mess-free. Dismantling the filter and shaking it into the dustbin is a bit of a faff and hold your breath while you shake all the ash/dust off. I would have gladly paid and few quid more if a cloth-like filter-separation bag had been fitted around the filter - that would make the post-use clean a lot easier, quicker and less messy.That said, I gave it four stars as the tool itself does the job it's designed for very well. Room for improvement though.

This is a great little hoover, dose the job I need it for sucking up ash and bits from fire grate, not the ashes from my log burner as it has an ash pan, nice length of cable brilliant suction, easy to clean out, great value for money, that's all I need it for, it's brilliant, I would recommend

Bought this to clear out the ash from my new log burner. The wood burns through and leaves very little ash and a few very small pieces of charcoal. This little hoover suited me in size and colour but is useless as cannot suck up ash and gets bunged up when you suck up even the smallest of particles. Very disappointed that I wasted my money.

I love it. It is just what I wanted to pick up the ash around the hearth. It works a treat. I didn’t buy it to hoover up all the ash in the wood burner ash pan.

Nice and small, but I didn't realise it came with a cord, when it says portable on the title.Suction gets poor as you use it, filter clogs quickly before you've even cleaned much out.the hose has a plastic end which stops the larger chuncks going up the pipe, which I found out is useful because there is a small hole in the motor where all the dust builds up an requires emptying every time. Poor design.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Looks good value for money, but it isn't.

Great little vac for cleaning out my Biomass boiler, easy to use and empty, love it.
