Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dustless Technologies MU405 Cougar Ash Vacuum, Black
Customer Review: Great ash vac
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this vac a month ago and love it! I use it daily to clean out my pellet stove and it's pretty quiet (for a vac!)and powerful and well constructed. Shipping was great it arrived fairly quickly! Like the fact the metal nozzle is curved a bit so that you can get into hard to reach areas! I didn't purchase add'l tools as I don't need it so why spend the extra money. I can't understand why some folks complained about noise level. Not so in my opinion! It's not a huge unit so you can easily place it in a corner out of site! I totally recommend this ash vac it makes my life a lot easier and avoids your hands from getting pretty dirty and sooty!
Customer Review: worth it!
Summary: 5 Stars
After two years of cleaning out our pellet stove with a regular shop vacuum, I decided to buy this according to all the reviews. It's the best purchase I ever made for a vacuum cleaner! It's amazing. There is NO dust when using, like there was with the regular shop vacuum. What's also so important to me, you don't have to empty it out after every use! My pellet stove has to be cleaned every 3 days. Thus far, I can go a month without cleaning the Cougar. As for noise, it's less than the regular shop vacuum I was using. I would reccommend this Cougar to anyone with a pellet stove. You won't be sorry.Customer Review: Good vacuum
Summary: 4 Stars
Solidly built and well constructed. My main criticism is that it does not come with any tools. Although I ordered the tools at the same time as I ordered the vacuum, they were shipped separately and I was billed for two shipments.
The manual is also a bit limited and it left me with some questions. For example, how long can I expect a filter set (expensive) to last. How can I tell when I need to empty the vacuum (very dirty job - you want to do this as seldom as possible).
Customer Review: Made an ash of myself buying this...
Summary: 1 Stars
What a disappointment. It works extremely well in removing the ash from an ash tray. Does a superb job. Try it in a woodstove, however, and the hose clogs in about three seconds - not even counting the chunks which clog the entrance to the nozzle, which is waaay too narrow to be useful. Even a modest quantity of cool powdered ash chokes the hose requiring disconnect and clearing of the plug. Sorry to say, it does not begin to do the job. It might work if the hose diameter were doubled.Customer Review: Ok...but doesn't reflect its name
Summary: 3 Stars
Yes as others have said this vacuum is very noisy. Assembly is easy and it does not take up a lot of room. You MUST follow the instructions for vacuuming. It does not work like your home vacuum. The nozzle is a small diameter and intended to pick up only ash. I was hoping for more suction, but I am not totally disappointed. It is saving my home vacuum and keeps my husband happy as I am not using his shop vacuum.
