Product Description
ASH IT OUT. The Snow Joe ASHJ201 4. 8-gallon Ash Vac is designed for cold ash pickup from wood stoves, pellet stoves, fireplaces, firepits, and BBQ grills. Equipped with a dual filtration system that employs both a coarse-dust pre-filter and a fine-dust pleated filter, the Ash Vac effectively traps dust particles during the ash cleaning process and prevents them from escaping into your breathing space. No more dusty mess around your home! Operation is simple: just insert the Ash Vac’s aluminum intake nozzle into your pile of cold ash, flip the switch, and watch its powerful 4-amp motor generate up to 500 W of suction power and 42. 4 cubic feet per minute of air flow. The Ash Vac’s extra large metal canister stores up to 4. 8 gallons of ashes, so you can finish your task without stopping to empty the container. Plus, it’s a self-contained, bag-free system, which allows for easy ash removal with a simple lift of the container lid. Other features include a safety stop switch to prevent the Ash Vac from operating without a properly fitted filter, a wire filter basket to protect the fine dust filter, an easy carry handle, an inspection window blockage indicator, and an onboard cord/hose organizer for convenient storage. Backed by a full 2-year , the Ash Vac ASHJ201 is the reliable cleanup tool you’ll need to deal with any ash problem in a simple, clean and safe way.

makes what is usually a horrible job easy.
filter works great and is easy to clean and reinstall
since it's a mesh bag you can transfer into a waste container without spillage (always a hassle)
good suction power
it's a practical capacity (not too small, not unwieldy big...given how ash spreads, that's important)
great if you've got a pllet grill/stove to get into fire pot or nooks, crannies (lso good for trad fireplace of course)
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO MAKE SURE YOUR ASHES ARE COLD COLD COLD (I suggest emptying into a metal can away from structures)
Pros
-Metal container
-Sucks up ash well.
-Nozzle has held up
- Easy to use.
Cons
-Suction not strong enough to pick up unburnt/partially burnt pellets.
-Hose sometimes unlatches
-Small
Overall happy with the purchase. Would buy another
Works great & contrary to my concerns, NO ashes, dust, etc. escaped the vacuum.
Based on my first use, I recommend it.
It comes with a long, metal hose attachment that is supposed to help in those hard-to-reach places, but in my experience it only makes the suction weaker. And because this attachment is so lengthy and un-bendable, it’s useless in confined spaces.
On the other hand, my spare mini-vac has much better suction, and will clean out the pellet stove to perfection. It comes with a cloth and a foam filter. Its attachment is very short with a narrow opening. This gives it maneuverability and increased suction in tight spaces. I can’t say the brand name, but you know it well (think Viking guy holding a shield). And it sells on Amazon for only a couple bucks more.
Of course my spare mini-vac (it’s really a small wet/dry shop vac) doesn’t make a claim for use on ash. For that you should use a micro-filter. But you can find micro-lined vacuum filters designed to fit it just about anywhere. Don’t make the same mistake I made. Go with the other brand.
This is by no means a negative review I love this thing. I bought this for my mother to clean her woodstove, she has this cumbersome awkward system of cleaning her woodstove and I thought I would help her simplify the process, if she isn’t so proud that she refuses to use it I think she’ll really like it! She didn’t whine and complain and b*tch and moan so that would seem to indicate to me that she loves it (I cleaned her stove myself this first time as a trial run to see how effective it is.)
I was a little surprised when I looked inside the flexible tube and saw that it was metal! Bravo!
I thought I had read somewhere in the description or the comments that the fabric filter was some type of polyethylene and I was disappointed and I thought I would rig up some kind of aluminum fly screen over top of the (“polyethylene”) fabric, but after I ordered it I read in the product description that it’s actually woven fiberglass! That was a tremendous relief! Tremendous! No worries whatsoever of any stray hot embers melting holes through the fabric!
It seemed to bog down a little bit towards the end of the job, I would recommend to anyone to buy the larger of the two, I got the smaller one because it was on sale, but I would recommend anyone buy the larger one. I didn’t remove and tap clean the pleated filter but I think I probably should have, I’m a little surprised it seems like it might have to be cleaned after every use which is not a big deal I’m not at all disappointed, I think I just assumed that I could use it six times (say, like my shop vac) before I had to clean the filter. It just seemed like it didn’t have the same amount of suction as when I first started with the brand-new clean filter. That’s pretty subjective though, your results may vary considerably.
I like it a lot!

The Ash Vacuum is a fraction the size of a standard shop vac, and quite easy to carry around. There's a snap-on lid with electrical cord (long enough to reach pretty much to any plug, although not removable), as well as a hose about three feet long that twists into the vac body (to prevent ash blowing out) and a nozzle that attaches at the other end. inside the canister there's a mesh bag that seals the bottom of the canister (and the ash input) from the motor, keeping the ash trapped in the bottom. A second filter on the motor keeps any microparticles from clogging the blower unit (which sucks, not blows). There's instruction manuals, of course, but I managed to figure it out in a minute flat and put it to work right away on my fireplace, which had all last year's fire remnants plus so paper and wood fragments left in the fireplace.
This ash vac did a great job on the ash, quickly cleaning it up without a single bit of ash leaving the vac. Any pieces of wood larger than about a half inch I manually picked out and threw away separately, and bits of paper went out manually, too, as I managed to clog the hose on paper-unburned wood twice before realizing I should just use the vac for ash. With that knowledge, I had the fireplace spotless in about five minutes. To empty the ash, I took the vac outside, removed the top and the filter bag, and simply scattered the ash. Reattaching everything, I was set to go two minutes later.
I've used the ash vac only twice so far, but it's fantastic. I have kept my house clean of ash, the fireplace is neat and tidy, and I am really impressed with this vac. I can't recommend it highly enough for those who love wood fires and need to clean their fireplace.
Ended up getting an actual shopvac, just waiting for the fire put to cool and using it instead with 100% much better results.
