PowerSmith Ash Vacuum Review
Whenever I am looking for tools that can be used around the house, there are a few brands that I always choose.
PowerSmith is definitely one of them.
PowerSmith embodies everything that is great about the world of tools, as it ensures that each of its products is convenient, versatile, easy to use, and reliable. It is for this reason that I suggested PowerSmith to my friend when she asked for a cleaning tool for her home.
The cleaning tool that she finally chose is the PowerSmith Ash vacuum, and it works so brilliantly that I have decided to review it below. But this is not just a general purpose vacuuming tool; this vacuum has been designed to capture ash that comes from burning wood in your stoves, grills, and fireplaces.
So if you are looking for a vacuum cleaner that can perform as an ash vacuum, a utility vacuum, and a blower, this three in one tool is perfect for you.
Who is it made for?
As you already know, regular utility vacuum cleaner cannot efficiently pick up ash. That is where the PowerSmith PAVC101 ash vacuum comes in. This versatile vacuum cleaner is perfect for all individuals who have homes with fireplaces, barbecue grills, pellet stoves and wood stoves.
Features of the PowerSmith PAVC101 Ash Vacuum
Cleaning Ash
The standard vacuum cannot clean up ash, however, the PowerSmith PAVC101 can. This vacuum cleaner has been built to clean up warm and cool ash, without blowing debris around your home.
To ensure that the inside of your vacuum does not melt when in contact with the ash, the hose and canister have been constructed with metal. This means that the vacuum is heat resistant.
The 5.2 gallon canister can also hold up to 3 gallons of ashes, and it has an ash level indicator so that you know when the canister is full.
Top Filter System
Another impressive aspect of the PowerSmith ash vacuum cleaner is its filter system, which is composed of a 2-layer filter. The outer layer is heat resistant, so that you can pick up warm ash up to 140 degrees. The inner layer then traps all the fine dust and ash that passes through, using a micro filter.
Additional Accessories
Accessories make your cleaning process much easier. That is why the PowerSmith Ash Vacuum PAVC101 comes with additional accessories, such as a 16 Ft cord, a metal nozzle, 2 extension wands, a turbo nozzle, and a brush nozzle. These can be used on your floor and carpet, for your general vacuuming needs.
The vacuum can also be transformed into a blower by placing the hose into the exhaust outlet.
Powerful Motor
A powerful motor is a must have in any vacuum cleaner. That is why PowerSmith has outfitted the PAVC101 with an incredible 10 amp motor, which produces noise levels less than 79 decibels. This means that the Ash Vacuum is both powerful and quiet.
Safe to Use
When picking up warm ash, you might be worried about the safety issues that this action may present. Thankfully, PowerSmith has designed the vacuum with an auto-shutoff feature, which will turn off the motor incase the heat in the canister reaches unsafe levels.
