Cleva Ash Vac @ BJ's $69.99

[bschrager]

Was delighted to see these ash vacs in BJ's this weekend, finally picked one up and retired my regular shop vac.

Love the price, but the amazon reviews scare me http://www.amazon.com/Cleva-EAT606S-Ash-Vacuum-gallon/dp/B00FKYEWXW

I got the PowerSmith ash vac for $59.99 at Ocean State Job Lot. It seems to work well.

Next time type out the full name rather then abbreviating it so mt wife does not ask what I am grinning about.


Edit: Or is that the actual name of the place?

But I will say that mine heats up too much and shuts down frequently.

I discussed it with PS when I originally got it. I'm going to touch base with them again and see what they say.

I have not used the ash vac on the stove as of yet, suction does seem to be plenty for the size of the unit. Been using a larger shop vac for many years, definitely better suction but not ideal for the ash when it blows back out the exhaust.

Still have my ash vac when i bought my stove in 1998, dont know the brand but it's popular, the suction isn't the greatest but it works

Intresting I have only had that happen to my once and I had it on for a long time. I vac my stove out twice a week no matter how little the ash is just out of habit. At most I have the vac on for 10 minutes. Powersmith is great they will send you a replacement if it's the unit. I called about an attachment I was missing and they sent it right out to me without any question.

Actually, it's the store name (BJ's Wholesale Club) and abbreviation for Berkley and Jensen. A membership type retailer like Sam's Club featuring mostly bulk items. They have areas of seasonal items as well, and their stocked items change.

The day I wrote that I got a flyer in the mail tellming me to join the BJ club, I wonder if they get som real hecklers in the store and phone calls.

I was corrected once. At my house, we have a running list for "BJ's", when it gets big enough, my wife goes shopping. Make sure you bring extra$$ for all those unexpected purchases! And who knows if they get those type of phone call?!

I have this Cleva vac, have it for 4 years now. At 1st it was great, the suction was super but at 4 years old it seems to have lost a TON of suction, doesn't do nearly a good a job as it used to. I was actually thinking of buying the powersmith at Ocean State discussed in this post but lots of folks do complain about how hot the vac gets.
