subject: Cleva Eat605s Ash Vacuum Review [print this page] This unit is not designed for large pieces of debris or anything hot, so material it takes in must be in the form of fine dust and have a temperature cooler than 100F (40C). This sounds like a limitation, but it really isn't. The vacuum performs more thoroughly on cold dust, and the canister requires fewer cleanings as a result.
Features
The Cleva EAR695S has many innovative features, but the most important include the 3.25-foot hose with a metal nozzle for precision suction and spark deflection, an on-board hose storage for compactness when the unit is not in use, a crevice tool for those tough-to-reach spaces, an eight-foot power cord to allow the vacuum to move around freely in wide open areas, an automatic shut-off switch, a double-layer of insulation that does away with a separate grounding system, and a limited two-year manufacturer warranty.
Cleva EAT695S Ash Vacuum Filters
The Cleva's filter system is simple so users can quickly, easily and conveniently install and change filters when needed. This system includes a washable filter cartridge that just twists into place and a Dacron Pre-Filter Bag to ensure every piece of debris is inhaled and safely stored away for disposal without any concern of a mess. A metal mesh filter cage serves as a screen pre-filter that deflects sparks that might otherwise cause damage to any of the filters or the motor. Since the cage adds reinforced protection to the critical parts of the operation, the double filtration system ensures the unit long life and excellent ongoing performance.
Motor
The 9 A-amp 2 HP motor doesn't seem at all fast, but for a technologically advanced cleaning unit, it is impressively powerful and long-lasting.
Canister
The 5.8 gallon storage canister is spacious and features a full-tank indicator that prevents overflow of debris. This means the canister is sealed tight until the indicator lets the user know when to dispose of its contents.
Dimensions
The Cleva ash vacuum measures 12.5 x 12.3 x 16.8 in size and weighs an easy 10 pounds for effortless transportation from one place to another.

Cons
If there are good points, you will also encounter some bad points about it. One of the issues encountered in Cleva EAT605SP ash vacuum is that its suction power is not effective. The filter forms dry build-ups of ashes. It must be clean immediately to avoid difficulties. Another disadvantage of this ash vacuum is its hose is not long enough to reach the important areas.
