Flame Resistant for Safety
The Cougar is designed with safety in mind. It features a steel nozzle with a five-foot flame-resistant hose and a fireproof three-gallon steel chamber. The patented filter system uses fire-resistant fabric rated up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, and the remaining parts are all made out of thermo-plastics to withstand high temperatures.

NOTE: Never use a household, or shop vacuum to clean a fireplace, because warm embers can be hidden under ash, which acts like an insulator and can keep embers hot for days after you think the fire is out. The combination of swirling air and debris inside a flammable paper bag filter is an extremely dangerous fire hazard.

Filter System Captures the Smallest Airborne Ash Particles
The Cougar features a double filter system that ensures no ash escapes the vacuum. This system leaves your air ash free and makes the process of cleaning your fireplace simple, clean, and healthy.

Each of the system's filters is designed to trap the finest ash, and the second filter even captures sub-micron particles. This double-filter action effectively traps ash, so your air stays clear.

Clean Filters Without Removing the Lid
Your Cougar's filters can be cleaned without removing them from the vacuum, eliminating any potential mess. For a quick dust-off, simply remove the brass cap from the lid and jiggle the agitator rod from side to side to shake the filters and make ash particles fall off.

After you have vacuumed up 60 to 80 gallons of ash, your Cougar will be ready for a thorough cleaning. Just detach and vacuum the secondary and primary filters to clean them.

Three-Gallon Canister Requires No Bags
The Cougar Ash Vacuum features a cold-rolled steel canister that will hold up to three gallons of ash. This fireproof canister safely contains your ashes without bags, so you'll never need to worry about expensive and annoying replacements. Just remove the canister's lid when it's time to empty your ashes.

Removes Ash Quickly and Quietly
Thanks to its powerful, six-amp electric motor, the Cougar can suck up ash quickly and easily. What's more, specially designed motor housing makes operation as quiet as can be. In fact, the Cougar is the cadillac of ash vacuums, operating with 60% less noise than the Dustless Technologies Cheetah II.

To help speed up ash removal, the Cougar's crimped steel nozzle is designed to quickly pick up ash and leave larger debris behind--for burning at a later time. To use, just place the vacuum nozzle directly on the hearth and swipe it in a circular motion. Ash will flow smoothly through the hose without clogging.

Warranty
The Dustless Technologies MU405 Cougar Ash Vacuum is backed by a one-year limited warranty for home use.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dustless Technologies MU405 Cougar Ash Vacuum, Black

Customer Review: expensive but effective and good quality
Summary: 4 Stars

I got this vac (the cougar) as a gift and nearly returned it after reading some of the other reviews here. That would have been a mistake. It is highly functional and it is SAFE. I heat with a wood burning stove almost exclusively. I burn 5 chord during the heating season in MA. Shoveling is messy and regular vacs aren't that safe. I give this one a 4 as it is quite expensive and it is loud - 79db out of the quieter cougar.

The nozzle is small - this is good. You don't want chinks of charcoal in there, especially if they are still hot. It works fine if you look at what you are vacuuming and have reasonable motor skills. When it clogs it is not difficult to remedy.
The filter is cloth, but fire resistant to 1000F - don't overfill and embers won't rest on it and it won't melt.

Basically, think about how this tool should be used and use it that way and it will work very well for you. If you burn often you should have something like this, burning your house down with a vacuum would not be fun.
