WORKSHOP Wet/Dry Vacs CMXEVBE17050 5 gal Corded Ash Vacuum 7.8 amps 120 V

CRAFTSMAN 5 gal Ash Vacuum

The CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17050 is a corded ash vacuum designed for homeowners who need to remove dry, cold ash from grills, firepits, fireplaces and wood stoves. Its 5 gallon steel tank holds a practical volume of debris for routine hearth maintenance. The unit rolls on integrated casters and includes onboard accessory storage for convenience. It is not suited for wet pickup, hot embers or fine construction dust that requires HEPA filtration.

7.8 amp 120 V motor

A 7.8 amp motor running on standard 120 V household power provides the suction force that determines whether this vacuum can handle your typical ash volume. The 1-7/8 in. diameter hose extends 3 ft. from the tank, while the 10 ft. power cord sets the working radius from an outlet. No hose adapter is included, so the fixed hose diameter limits compatibility with narrower nozzles or third-party attachments.

Cartridge and drum filter system

Dual cartridge and drum filters capture fine ash particles during extended cleaning sessions, protecting the motor from abrasive buildup. A built-in blower port allows the same motor to push air for dispersing debris or clearing surfaces before vacuuming. Because there is no built-in drain, the tank must be lifted and emptied manually once the 5 gallon capacity is reached.
