Customer reviews for Cougar Ash Vacuum
Cougar Ash Vacuum
The Cougar Ash Vacuum comes from the leader in Ash Vacuum technology Loveless Ash and Dustless Technologies. The patented design gives you the safest, most secure way of cleaning ashes out of fireplaces, pellet stoves, grills or any device that creates ash. Its all-metal construction and fire resistant filters make the Cougar Ash Vacuum the right tool for a very important job. What good is an ash vacuum if it spews ash particles into the air whenever you flip the on switch? Unlike other ash vacuums, the Cougar has a proprietary coating on its primary filter that captures extremely fine particles to keep the ash inside the canister. It does not cough out dust when first turned on. You can also clean the primary filter without opening the canister by jiggling the agitator rod located on the top of the lid. Another innovative feature that helps keep the ash inside the canister so your home stays clean and ash free.

We've had this ash vac for a year now and have had no problems at all with it. Works great, has really good suction and is easy to empty. Pretty much maintenance free. One person complained that the hose clogged.....it does if you suction up pellets....which it tells you not to do! You can't go wrong with this ash vacuum!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

This vac is well worth the money ! I use this vac once or twice a day while pellet stove is going,just dial back the pellet feed and let the flames go down then start vacuuming out the hot ash(no red or really hot ambers)but it handles really hot ash just fine and you won't see any ash or dust belching out the exhaust from this vac either.
With good pellets I have been able to run the stove 3 weeks straight without shutting down to vac the stove out.
Yes its expensive , but its worth every penny .

Does what others wont
,PostedDecember 11, 2010
PROS: It does the job its intended for, to vac ash and smalls partials. We use ours for our pellet stove. No dust, easy to assemble, quitter then a shop vac and some Home Vacuums!
CONS: I'd like to have seen a holder for the hose, thats it!
Final thoughts: So far, we've used it 5 times, with no need to empty it yet. You can't go wrong with this unit and I've not had one problem at all with it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Not sure why all the glowing reviews of this ash vac. It has obvious design flaws...the hose port is plastic and prone to warpage/burn-thru (it happened to me within the first week), as well as it being mounted so low on the carrying can you can really only accumulate a few inches of ash before the suction stops altogether and needs emptied. It's equipped with a metal hose, yet all 'ash' travels through a plastic port attached to a metal can. Why not make the port metal/aluminum/brass/stainless as well??
Also, the hose continually falls off despite the barbs that should keep it in place. I put tape around it to secure it because it became such a nuisance. The only positive is it does contain the dust that would otherwise circulate throughout the house.
Loveless CS is quick to respond and accommodating to questions/problems, but this ash vac warrants no accolades. I purchased based solely on the positive reviews and wanted a dustless vacuum for my fireplace insert.
Bottom line: other models can be had for the half the price without the inherit design setbacks. And, if this is their 'quiet' model...more engineering needs put into place. The decibel level is way too high even compared to a conventional shop-vac.

After using this vac several times to clean my pellet stove I am very dissatisfied, the reason being the hose continuosly clogs.
I spend more time uncloging the hose than cleaning the pellet stove manually. I plan on returning it for a full refund.
