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

In our practical test, the ZONDER PRO ASH dry vacuum cleaner from Zeegma proved to be a reliable partner for cleaning ash and other residues. The suction power for ash was impressive – all types of ash were completely vacuumed up without leaving any visible residue.
The handling and ergonomics of the appliance were also rated very favourably . The vacuum cleaner sits comfortably in the hand and the low weight and well-balanced design mean that even longer periods of use are no problem.
The suction hose proved to be flexible and kink-free in all situations, which made work even easier. It goes without saying that the suction hose is heat-resistant.
Cleaning the filter is easy, but involves a little extra effort. Overall, the ZONDER PRO ASH from Zeegma impresses with its well thought-out design and high level of user-friendliness.
The dry vacuum cleaner delivers what the manufacturer promises. The high suction power, ergonomic design and robust construction make it an ideal helper for demanding cleaning tasks. Only the regular cleaning of the filter requires a little patience.
