PowerSmith Ash Vac - flex tube works GREAT on refrigerator coils

[bcarton]

I had to work on our kitchen stove tonight, and made a huge mess in the process. Cleaning up with the ash vac after it was all over, I glanced over at our 18-year old refrigerator, then looked at the PowerSmith, and thought "HEY, I can use that little tube attachment to get those coils cleaner than they've been in years. In about three minutes, I cleaned out a huge amount of dust that I've never been able to reach before. Currently drinking a colder-than-usual beer, and enjoying the warmth of my newly-installed 18-year old pellet stove!

Well you will get a faster than usual return on the purchase of the ash vac

Just don't vac any hot pellets into that lint mess in the vac.

Or it will be one ashed vac. You should see the results of running a shotgun primer through a Kirby!

Wow! Voice of experience, I hope not? Rest assured, the vac was promptly emptied.

Wasn't the vacuum bag that got emptied! Lets say the clothes washer had some extra soiled under garments.

I don't need it for the fridge but I was looking for a recommendation for an ash vac, all I have a can-&-hose attachment for my central vac, no motor, not thrilled w/results. So, I bookmarked a PowerSmith just now at Amazon.

What's this tube attachment? Did it come with your vacuum? I'm not sure I got that with mine.

As Keep Warm mentioned, Mill's Fleet Farm is cheaper and with free shipping.

Tube attachment is part of the accessory kit. Costs about $20 and gives you a few extra little attachments.

Thanks, didn't know about that. I have been thinking about trying to buy a piece of hose to attach so I can get in narrow spots. This is much easier, just ordered one from Amazon.

Great! Glad I hadn't pulled the trigger w/Amazon yet.

TRUE. Mine shows up tomorrow, $74.99 plus extra for the attachment kit. Still cheaper than Amazon.

I have the PowerSmith vacuum.....Works great!
I was considering getting that small hose/tube attachment kit, but then I decided it was easy enough to make my own with some parts that I had in the garage.
I used it for the first time today and it worked awesome to get into all those tight areas that I have been missing with my stove cleanings.

When mine showed up Friday night, I saw what I got in addition to a crevice tool and brush attachment, was a length of plastic hose inserted into a rubber cork -- could have pick up the materials at Home Depot for that. However, this is convenient and not too expensive, now I have it. I asked my wife to sew up an elastic "belt" to go around the vacuum canister, with small bands to hold the attachments -- that way they are not laying around loose when I could lose them.
