Test result preview
The ZONDER PRO ASH from Zeegma is a multifunctional industrial vacuum cleaner that is suitable for a wide range of applications in workshops, in industry and on construction sites. Its ability to efficiently remove ash from fireplaces or barbecues, debris or sawdust is particularly noteworthy. The vacuum cleaner impresses with its high motor power of 1600 watts, which enables quick and thorough cleaning. The robust construction of the appliance, which has a 20-litre stainless steel dust container and a heat-resistant hose, is a positive feature. The blow-out function is another practical feature that makes cleaning yards or workbenches easier. A small disadvantage, however, is that cleaning the filters requires a little more effort, which makes daily use a little more difficult. In addition, the hoover is only suitable for warm, but not hot ash, which is standard for such appliances.
Advantages
- High suction power
- Multifunctional
- Robust
- Good handling
Disadvantages
- Filter cleaning requires more effort
