Tools and Hardware Reviews of the Dustless Technologies MU405 Cougar Ash Vacuum, Black
Tool Review: expensive but effective and good quality
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this vac (the cougar) as a gift and nearly returned it after reading some of the other reviews here. That would have been a mistake. It is highly functional and it is SAFE. I heat with a wood burning stove almost exclusively. I burn 5 chord during the heating season in MA. Shoveling is messy and regular vacs aren't that safe. I give this one a 4 as it is quite expensive and it is loud - 79db out of the quieter cougar.
The nozzle is small - this is good. You don't want chinks of charcoal in there, especially if they are still hot. It works fine if you look at what you are vacuuming and have reasonable motor skills. When it clogs it is not difficult to remedy.
The filter is cloth, but fire resistant to 1000F - don't overfill and embers won't rest on it and it won't melt.
Basically, think about how this tool should be used and use it that way and it will work very well for you. If you burn often you should have something like this, burning your house down with a vacuum would not be fun.
