| Cheetah II provides a SAFE, CLEAN way to remove ash from a fireplace, wood stove, pellet stove or grill.
NEVER
use a household or shop vacuum for cleaning out your fireplace. Hot
embers can stay alive for days, hidden under ash, which acts like an
insulator. A hot ember sitting inside a paper filter bag, surrounded by
flammable household debris, is a recipe for disaster. This situation
can start a delayed fire, when you’re asleep or not at home. Very
dangerous!
The other problem is that ash
is made of extremely fine particles that a normal filter will not
capture. The exhaust port of the vacuum will spew the smallest
particles throughout your house, and if you don’t notice your house
smelling like an ashtray, you will notice when it comes time to dust,
and there’s a fine gray dust coating all your furniture.
The
Cheetah II AshVac was designed for safe, clean and convenient cleaning
of ash out of fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves and bio fuel (corn
and wheat) stoves. It has been the best selling ash vacuum for more
than 20 years.
Every component of the
Cheetah II AshVac is designed for safety. The 3-gallon fireproof
canister is made of rolled steel. The 5-foot hose and nozzle are made
of metal. The primary filter is fire-resistant up to 1,000°F. Other
components are fire-resistant thermoplastic. If the hose gets too hot
to hold with bare hands, stop vacuuming because the ashes are too hot.
Gloves are not the answer. Instead, wait until the ashes cool more,
and/or be sure to rest the nozzle on the firebrick, or base, so you are
removing fine ash from the bottom of the pile – not large chunks of hot
embers.
The patented filtration system is
designed for the cleanest possible removal of ash. The dual filters are
specially engineered to capture the finest ash particles to keep your
house clean and smelling fresh. You can even clean the filters without
opening the canister so no ash has a chance to escape. All you do it
jiggle the agitator rod on the lid to knock ash off the filters. The
canister stays closed. With our patented filter system you will clean without the fear of adding Ash particulates back into the air you breath. |
