Our take on the Craftsman CMXEVBE17050 5 Gal Corded Ash Vacuum

The Craftsman CMXEVBE17050 is a 5-gallon corded ash vacuum built to pull cold ash out of fireplaces, wood stoves and pellet grills. Its metal tank and heat-resistant hose and filter set it apart from shop vacuums, which can scorch or clog on fine ash. It is a single-job tool: strong on dry ash, awkward for wet pickup or general cleanup. Owners like the capacity and the reusable filter; the main complaints are the short hose, the weight and filter cleaning between jobs.

Questions and answers

Can it pick up warm ash?
It is designed for cold ash. Let ash cool fully before vacuuming, and never use it on live embers or burning material.
Does it work as a regular shop vacuum?
Only for dry debris. The ash filter is not made for wet pickup, and fine ash is its main job.
What comes in the box?
The vacuum, a heat-resistant hose, metal nozzle and reusable filter. Bags are not required.
How often do I clean the filter?
Clean it after each heavy ash load, or sooner if suction drops. Fine ash packs the filter quickly.
Is it better than a shop vac for fireplaces?
Yes for ash. A shop vac's plastic hose and standard filter are not built for hot ash or fine soot, while this one is.
How big is the tank?
Five gallons, enough for several fireplace cleanouts before emptying.
