—————————— 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 !!!!

|The Great, the Good, and the Bad,
The “great” is the workmanship. It appears that this vacuum is extremely well-made. It’s made like things used to be made. The tools are just about the same as any other vacuum cleaner attachments. The suction is very strong. This is such a high-powered vacuum that I’m sure I would use in on my new car’s carpets, but when I used it on the seat upholstery, the suction was so strong that I was afraid one could actually harm their upholstery with that kind of intense pulling.
When I took off the upholstery attachment and used the crevice attachment, I felt much better about using it on the seats.
The “good” is the warm air that is produced by using it as a blower. This would be perfect for blow-drying parts of the car that are hard to towel dry after a car wash.
The bad is the weight. It has no feet on the vacuum, and it doesn’t come with a dolly, but you can order one for about $25. I lugged this vacuum while I used it, and it weighs about eight or nine pounds. (Think of carrying a bowling ball in one hand while you vacuum with another.)
I was originally going to send this back and order a less powerful car vacuum that would be easier to carry around. Now, I’m thinking about ordering the dolly. The concern I have is that I don’t know how high this would make the vacuum as it rolls around the garage. This vacuum could easily damage a car if it was rolling on the ground and got pulled into the fender or car door. It would be great if this dolly kept the height of the vacuum below that of the bottom of the car.
The last comment is similar to that made by another reviewer. This item is listed on Amazon as Model VNB 83, and the nameplate attached to the machine says VNB 73. It is evident that someone tried to pull that nameplate off and gave up.
All in all, I will probably keep this vacuum and use it very gingerly. There are great things about it, and there are bad things that concern me.
