It is well worth it if you can afford it and if you need such a capability. It is constructed of metal, which makes the unit heavy compared to the weak hand-held rechargable dust-busters, but the portablility of the sheer power has been very useful for us in vacuuming the interior of a car, over the glass top of a large custom fish tank, or for a focused spill of dry material. This portable vacuum cleaner has the power of the largest home vacuum cleaners. This is a highest quality, strongly and durably built, serious piece of machinery that hasn't compromised by joining the age of cheap plastic devices. Lastly, you will need an extension cord with this unit since the attached cord is less than one foot long. You will have to pay for such quality.
Heres what I like:small compact and portablereal strong vacuum for its sizereal strong blower for its sizea lot of attachments if you use themHeres what I dont like:Cord is like 3" without a 3 prong extension you cant use it or even plug it into the wall.only 1 speed for vacuumonly 1 speed for blowercleaning the vacuum dust catch is a little messy.best done outsideOverall 4 stars.at first I was bothered by the things I dont like about it but this vacuum has grown on me. I really like the powerful blower.
This vacuum is very good it actually does what they say it does. The only thing bad is the switch is a little unhandy but not terrible.
Anyway, I used the vacuum on my car and it did a tremendous job. I ordered my vacuum on Jan 16 and opted for the free shipping and received an estimate of January 29th for a shipping date. After reading the other reviews about the poor condition some people received their vacuum, I just had to write that mine arrived in perfect shape. But I got it on Jan 18th. Maybe I got lucky. Great machine.I also have to comment on the quick shipping I got from Amazon. I actually bought this vacuum to use on my horses because the same model as a horse vacuum was $100 more (go figure).
The box was perfect and there wasn't a mark on the vacuum itself. Usually after vacuuming the mats I can still shake a lot of dust out, but there was none left after using the Metro. Thumbs up for Amazon shipping. So after the job it did on my filthy car carpets, I'm sure it'll work great on my muddy horses.
I haven't used the vacuum feature very often but the times I did the suction seemed terrific. The other problem is that the hose is also too short. The first is that the power cord is only about six inches long. I have another Metro blower and this one is a lot more powerful. I have been using the Vac N'Blo for the past few weeks in my dog grooming business (the one I purchased is identical to the ones sold in the pet supply catalogues, only cheaper).
I need to plug it into a surge protector because it doesn't even reach the outlet. It works quite well blowing excess water off the big dogs, speeding up the drying process. I like the fact that you do not have to buy extra bags for it, although it does fill up rather quickly. I have substituted the hose from my other Metro dryer and that works just fine.I would give this five stars if the power cord and hose were longer. But for small jobs, it's great.There are two drawbacks.
