Just a plain old shop vac with a hepa. :red: Older than dirt and still going strong. Been looking at the one TSC has. Hearth Country? I think thats what its called.
US Stove is a Cleva in disguise! FYI
AR, got any links to the Meeco Red Devil model #400? I'd like to check it out!

I almost bought a Cheetah until I turned it on at the hearth shop. No way could I stand that!

Cheetah for me too. The Cougar wasn't quiet enough to be worth the extra cost. Both are loud. I just use my leaf blowin', chain sawin', snow blowin' headphone hearing protection when I clean the stove.
I saw the Cougar on ebay for $200 with the 3 piece attachment and at Sears for $220 for just the vacuum..Not much more than the Cheetah.

Huh, What'd he say? ;-)
Got to wear them dang things all day long at work. Hate um, But at least I have some hearing left. PPE is a must, Even my shop vac is loud enough to require hearing protection.
I bought a Cougar II when I bought the stove. I have been (in my past life) an ASE certified master mechanic back when GM still built Oldsmobiles. I was taught the value of well built tools. I have a roll away full of Snap-On tools...don't even want to THINK what they would be worth to replace today and when it came time to buy a vac, I did some research and decided to spend the money and get something that can live next to the stove and not look out of place. I don't find it that loud either. I got all the little tools with it as well. The small tube for cleaning the little holes and slots in the stove, the stiff brush that cleans the tubes, and the narrow metal wand that cleans under the burn pot. It's a great tool!

14 gallon shop vac with the water pump feature. Have a basement that can get a bit wet in the summer if it rains for a while. Serves dual purpose for my needs.
And since the overpriced stove vacs cant suck out warm-hot embers its just not worth it to me.

I just received the Hearth Country #400 Vac that I ordered on "cybermonday" from Mills Fleet Farm...$80 bucks shipped. I was surprised to find the pellet stove vacuum kit tucked inside the unit too, since it's usually a $25+ accessory. Can't wait to try it out! I know that Love-Less are supposed to be the Cadillac of Ash Vacs, but I couldn't justify the extra coin.

Couger II. Just bought it on e-bay for $200 with pellet stove attachments and an extra set of filters
Bought the Couger 3 years ago when I got my stove. Change the filter once a year. It was expensive but for me it was worth it.
