Definitely...it is so easy to clean out too...just make sure u clean the filter out quite frequently...I just bang it off the deck to get dust off...make sure the embers/ashes aren't hotttt...that wouldn't be good...:(

This is directly from the Operator's Manual:Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

There is a vac called an Ash vac that is made specifically for vacuuming ashes. Cleva EAT606S Ash Vacuum, 5.8 gallon

I use Vacmaster VDBT 3.2-Gallon Standard Dust Filter Bag, 3-Pack with this vac to clean fireplace ashes, and it works great.

Any wet/dry vac will clean ashes from a (COLD!) fireplace, you just have to clean the filter before and after each use. Ash and soot are very tiny particles which will quickly stick to the filter, clogging it and reducing the suction of the machine. Just remove the filter before and after you use it, take it out to your garbage container outside, tap it on the side a few times, and you'll be good to go.

I believe it will. We used it for extremely strong garlic smell and it whipped it out of the air.I like it because it also has an ionizer that you can turn on and off and that really helps with the scent.I love this air purifier. Its worth every penny!

A smaller shop vac would probably work fine, if you reduced the end of the hose for the vac to match the outlet for the dust bag. I do not think a large powerful vac would work as well as it would not draw enough air... but a smaller 5 gallon size should. Have not done this myself... I just take it outside and work there with a mask.

I would think so. Just test a small area first. My cleaning service actually uses it as a dusting agent throughout my home.

The kit is made for a small vac. I have a small ash vac and I still had to add tape to the connector of this kit because the hose opening to the ash vac is to big. So if it is a full size shop vac it probably won't fit.

I haven't tried it on dust, but it might work - it has enough power, I think, to do so. It works really well on crumbs.

No, 'fraid not. This vac is primarily for stairs. Only attachment is a wand. I feel your pain with the computer mess. I have a little DeWalt rechargeable/corded vac. If it sucked like a good vac, it'd be close to ideal.

i used it to vacuum up my ashes from my pellet stove and it cause on fire and burned up the bag, filter, and sleevenot it is going to cost me $40 to replace those three things and the vacuum only costs $58

No It won't do the job. Also the last one I got was broken when I received it. The blower is just strong enough to blow some dust off of electronics.

Yes without a doubt. Please make sure the ash is cold. You may or may not have to clean the filter afterwards.

I use it on a tiled area under my wood stove to pick up ashes and little bits of bark and dirt that come off the firewood...and it works very well for me...not 100% perfect, but better than I expected.

As long as the vacuum motor is a brush type motor it will work. The commercial cleaning equipment manufacturers are starting to use voltage reducing switches on some of their backpack vacuums. They are doing this do reduce the noise level because there are more building going to daytime cleaning. Gunslinger45 has a great idea though. You could make a homemade suction diverter by drilling a hole on the upper end of your vac tool and using a piece of cork to plug it when you want full suction. Pull the cork out, it lets air in and reduces the suction.

This vacuum was designed for cleaning ash out of wood/pellet burning stoves. In the information that I found out on this vacuum prior to my purchase there was something about not for coal ash. I have noticed that after using for half an hour or so that the motor heats up. I would not recommend it as a vacuum system for power planners or table saws. As for what it was made for it works great.

I have had this one a short time but comparing it to the shop vac I was using this one seems to be better. The filter on this one does not let any dust out into the room. It says you can clean warm ash but I always wait until it is cool to the touch before I start cleaning. The only draw back is the hose could have been a foot or two longer.

No, it does not have that feature. The vac is simply for rugs and hardwood floor, dust and debris.

I do not believe that it will fit your shop vac... This is designed for an ash vac..
