Engineered To Keep Fine Ash Out of the Air
Washable HEPA Filter, No Replacements
The HEPA filter captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, then rinses clean instead of clogging like single-use filters after a load or two.
Cordless Reach, No Outlet Needed
Corded ash vacs stop at the length of their hose. VortiVac runs cordless for 30 to 60 minutes, reaching the fireplace, stove, and grill alike.
Quiet Enough for Early or Late Cleanups
VortiVac runs at about 68dB, roughly 40% quieter than a typical vacuum, so you can clear the hearth before guests arrive without the shop-vac roar.
Nozzles Built for Every Tight Corner
The motorized brush and four precision nozzles reach into stove corners, damper edges, and fireplace lips that a broom or dustpan always miss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I vacuum the ashes right after the fire goes out?
Can I vacuum the ashes right after the fire goes out?
Let the ash cool completely first. Like any vacuum, VortiVac isn't built for hot coals or active embers, so most owners wait a few hours, or overnight, before cleaning up for total peace of mind.
Will this keep up with pellet stove ash? It's so fine it gets everywhere.
Will this keep up with pellet stove ash? It's so fine it gets everywhere.
Pellet ash is exactly the fine dust the HEPA stage is rated for, capturing 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. Rinse the washable filter clean between cleanups instead of buying a replacement.
I already have a shop vac. Why would I need this instead?
I already have a shop vac. Why would I need this instead?
Plenty of shop vacs clog fast on fine ash or blow dust straight back out once the filter loads up. VortiVac pairs 45000Pa of suction with a washable HEPA filter that rinses clean instead of dying after one season.
Does any dust blow out the back, or is it actually contained?
Does any dust blow out the back, or is it actually contained?
The HEPA filter stage is built to keep exhaust clean instead of blowing fine dust back into the room the way an overloaded single-use filter can. Empty the dust collector outdoors for the tidiest finish.
How do you clean the filter, and does it clog fast with pellet ash?
How do you clean the filter, and does it clog fast with pellet ash?
Just rinse the washable HEPA cartridge under water, let it dry fully, and pop it back in. No shaking out clouds of dust and no buying new filters every season.
Is it loud like a shop vac, or can I run it inside without waking everyone up?
Is it loud like a shop vac, or can I run it inside without waking everyone up?
VortiVac runs at about 68dB, roughly 40% quieter than a typical vacuum, so early-morning or late-night ash cleanup won't disturb the house.
Can I use this on my grill and fire pit, or is it just for fireplaces?
Can I use this on my grill and fire pit, or is it just for fireplaces?
All of the above. Being cordless, VortiVac isn't limited to an outlet near the fireplace, so one charge can clear cold ash from the wood stove, the grill, and the fire pit in a single session.
Does it come with different nozzles for tight corners of the stove?
Does it come with different nozzles for tight corners of the stove?
Yes, it includes a motorized brush and four precision nozzles built to reach stove corners, damper edges, and fireplace lips that a broom or dustpan can't touch.
