The small tools restrict the air flow so much that the unit overheats. I purchased this to clean my two vehicles. The unit I received came very poorly packaged and the carton was pretty much destroyed when I received it. It makes lots of noise but has poor suction. Also when using this as a blower the unit is both noisy and heats up very quickly.All things considered I am going back to my shop vac for cleaning my cars. The vacuum and accessories did not appear damaged so I accepted the shipment.
Even when vacuuming carpets with the full size tools it wouldn't even pick up lint from a cotton towel.As a blower the unit worked well except that it blows the hose off the canister. I bought this unit based upon the great reviews I read, but I am very disappointed. While trying to vacuum out the A/C vents the small attachments pushed the dust around but didn't lift it. I mention this because I don't know if the unit was internally damaged and this the cause of poor performance.As a vacuum the unit is not very practical. The hose is too short to reach very far meaning that the unit must be carried around while vacuuming the vehicle. The hose should have a latch or locking button to prevent this.
It works better than this unit and is better designed.
I bought this vacuum based on the reviews. If one comes out that is more user friendly, I will buy it next time. Also, there is no place to put the cord, hose and all of the attachments.
It is a wonderful vacuum. I am building a carrying case for everything, but then that changes the idea of compact. Metro gets the job done.
At this price, one would expect to have a retractable cord and a place to hook the hose onto the machine. My truck rugs are cleaner then they have ever been. Cons: The motor does get hot, if used for a long time.
This is the only small vacuum on the market that has any power. As for now, this is the best compact vacuum on the market.
Works as promised. I use this in my piano service business. It's great for cleaning out the dust from pianos. The only thing I was uncertain about was something in the manual that mentioned what to do if the unit overheats. But it didn't say anything about how you know it overheats.Other than that minor thing, I love it.
I've never experienced this much power from a vacuum this small. I expected the power to taper off after using it but it hasn't. It's perfect for what I use it for and I hope they keep making this product for a long time to come. It deserves supporting in my book.
Works great. Get the dolly, otherwise there is no way to conveniently set it down because it rolls around.
