What to know before buying

Use only after ash has cooled below 40 degrees and contains no smoldering embers. The listing also says irregular carbon particles can clog the hose and reduce suction.

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent about hose length: the specification says 60 inches, while feature copy says 157 inches for the cord and gives no separate hose length there. The listed touch control and push-button controller descriptions also differ, and the listed 15-minute runtime is unexplained for a corded vacuum. Confirm these details for the selected listing. The advertised blower and shop-vac use are manufacturer claims.

No. The listing says ash must be cooled below 40 degrees and must not contain smoldering embers.

The listed package includes a container lid and container, metal suction hose, aluminum suction tube, two extension wands, wheel holder with wheel, crevice and floor nozzles, HEPA cartridge filter, flame-retardant filter bag and user manual.

How long is the hose?
