mikegeaney Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 There are no reviews on the storefront. Can anyone chime in on how this thing is? I am sick of the shop vac...it doesn't do a good job and is a PITA. Thinking this could be good dedicated to the 2 vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 These are fantastic! They are only dry vacs, if that is an issue for you. They seem to have more suction than the typical shop vacs, and are Made in the USA! And the company President David is a nice fella too, I have the model that Adam's sells now and it works great.

0 Sizzle Chest Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yes. I really like mine. Plenty of power, great quality, and the length of hose and assortment of attachments makes any vacuum job a pleasure. I recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 THE Mook Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 This is a nice vacuum. I reach for this instead of the Shop Vac whenever someone wants their inside taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 johnny13 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Sorry to thread jack I just have a quick question I ordered my metro vac today and was wondering would it be ok to use this if I spray a liberal amount of carpet and upholstery cleaner on some stains? Or if I use warm water with the cleaner? If this can even handle any water TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 AZGTO Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I just received a MetroVac Compact from Adam's for my birthday. Works awesome, the suction is amazing. Some pet hair it has troubles sucking up if it is deep in the carpet but aside from that it is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 johnny13 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 So what would you guys recommend for that type of situation hit it with a wet vac/rag first then use the metro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 So what would you guys recommend for that type of situation hit it with a wet vac/rag first then use the metro? I would dry it as much as possible with a cotton work towel, then use the Metro Vac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 johnny13 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I would dry it as much as possible with a cotton work towel, then use the Metro Vac.Thanks for the info don't want to be caring around 2 vacs if I start to do this as a side gig and definitely don't want to f#$@ up my new metro vac will let you guys know what I think of the metro when I receive it tomorrow!

0 johnny13 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Just tried out my metro vac and it's awesome I was able to get into those tight spaces. The only issue I had was it got hot and stopped but I let it cool down and everything worked perfect is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Hot_Wheel Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Mine gets pretty hot while blow-drying, but I just see it as a better way to dry the car. In my owner's manual it told me to remove the basket and front-plate while blowing, so I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 johnny13 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I actually vaccumed my trailblazer right after my pick-up and it worked flawlessly there maybe just a one time thing? I would also highly recommend the metro vac! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The only issue I had was it got hot and stopped but I let it cool down and everything worked perfect is this normal? I have never had an issue with mine shutting down. I have it on the wheels/dolly and always have plenty of unrestricted space behind the outlet port.

0 johnny13 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 That was probably my issue after the first time and so far the only time (hopefully) I made sure everything was clear after that. It does get pretty hot which by the looks of it that's normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 moecaballero Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 i got mine from Amazon. I was already a "prime member" so got them in 2 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Great American company, located about 45 mins from me. Phil @ DD turned me on to them since they are local to him. my FIL has the handheld vac, great for vaccuuming the car. I currently have a different handheld vac, but if/when it goes on me and is time to get rid of, I'm getting the Jumbo Vac N Blo, half the price of the Master Blaster, but you not only get blow drying of your vehicle capability, you also can use it to vaccum your whole interior too! Comes with wheels so you can pull it around the car. Its only 4 hp compared to the Master Blaster's 8 hp, but it being dual functions is a good value to me.
