 great little vac December 31, 2007
Have used this small but powerful vacuum in the house, shed and garage. It is fantastic - beats my home upright for its sucking power! Haven't yet used the blower function, but it's good to have when you need it. Great product.
GREAT VAC November 3, 2007
This is a very powerful vac that reaches all the little crevices in my auto...it's also a great pet vac, (dogs and horses). I mounted it on a cart with compartments for the tools and added a retracting extension cord. Great purchase.
 Doesn't seem to be new. June 21, 2007

I purchased this item as "new" from Amazon. When i received it, it was in the box with label "VNB-83BA". However, the box looked like it was restapled as if it was previously opened. Mind you, this is the second box received from Amazon because the first box was the same. The accessories all seem to be there, but the vacuum itself had a label that said "VNB-73" and the plastice ring where the lid goes on one end had many scratches as if it was used. I read that the 73 model had a short 3' cord or but this one had like a 12' chord as 83 model should. What i think happened is that this is a refurbed or unused 73 model and they made the specs to match the 83 model, such as the longer chord. They couldn't remove the sticker so they left the sticker. This unit should be sold as refurbed or other status but not as new. I am very happy with amazon's customer service, but disatisfied that they are selling remanufactured/refurbed units as new. I will avoid buying from amazon in the future unless i find an incredible price. This was my first purchase experience from amazon.

METRO VAC' N BLO... this is THE IDEAL TOOL for cleaning any automobile!!! It'll suck up anything just as the manufacturer promises. It more than blows, IT JET BLASTS warm DRY AIR that'll blow my wifes long hair back at over 10ft away!!! This is great for cleaning automotive air ducts. And if you really care about [your] vehicle (inside as well as out) and want to keep it running cool at its best AND easy to work on then I highly recommend the Vac' N Blo. Carefully wash your [cooled] engine, then BLO it dry. Do this quarterly [or more frequently for heavy use vehicles] and you wont regret it. Just use common sense and be sure to dry every engine part after rinsing, especially the electronic components Before starting the engine.
------------------------------ Now the reason for ranking 4 out of 5. ---------------------------------------------
The hoses and accessory tools are not pliable damage free plastics! In my opinion the standard hose length should be 12ft.. The included 6' is too short for some locations and the optional 24' is overkill. I think METRO could afford better quality in every step of manufacturing - not just in the main motor and cannister.
I think this product would be an easier sell if the total quality were addressed.
It should also include a resting platform (not at an additional price for one with wheels) or better still (and cheaper) weld a couple of simple stoppers to the underbelly...
That's my opinion -- Excuse my enthusiasm. NO REGRETS !!!!

This is the best car vacuum I have used. This product comes with plenty of accessories to reach even the smallest crevices. Don't bother getting home vacuums and wheeling them outside!
