Disappointed as the filter clogs with ashes every time and is unusable until the filter is cleaned. The only effective way to clean the filter is to wash it but then you have to wait for it to dry before it can be used. The filter is made of plastic which makes no sense in a vacuum that could possible encounter hot ashes. There was no support from the supplier who only accepted feedback and I was unable to obtain a refund. Please dont waste your money on tis item.
