Would be much better if build quality improved.
By ShopGeek
After struggling with a $20 vacuum for shop and car cleanup, I bought the Metrovac. Sure enough, as others reported, it pulls a mighty vacuum and is relatively light and quiet. The container is large enough to clean Florida sand from our cars many times, and few grains escape its powerful suction. The power and size are remarkable. Less remarkable is overall quality. My unit arrived poorly packed with many small dents in the outer steel cannister. The short extension hose seems of good quality but the other accessories are thin plastic and are not precisely molded. The on-off switch is strictly 1940's and hard to reach. The handle seems taken from cheap luggage. Soft start motor technology would be a great help because the unit jerks significantly on startup. There are no legs or feet so if started on the ground, it is unstable and wants to roll away. A pair of "W" shaped legs welded to the shell would be a great help. I run a custom shop so wanted the cannister repainted with flames. When I disassembled the Metrovac, I discovered stone age build quality. The motor end end-cap is held on by three tiny sheet metal screws. Where machine screws should be used on the motor brackets, there were sheet metal screws, and the motor brackets were bent. Two quick release clamps retain the vacuum end end-cap. Both dented the steel cannister as if too much force had been used to set the retaining rivets. Once disassembled, it is easy to understand dents in the cannister - the steel is soft and thin. Internal build quality is reminiscent of something designed 50 years ago and never updated. Judging by the amount of metal drillings in the cannister, it appears that there is very little pride in construction and virtually no quality control. The little machine is handy, but in serious need of modern updates and quality control.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT
By A Customer
I tried to purchase this vac from Amazon but they kept sending me busted machines for some reason. But once I got it from another site - WOW - this is the single most efficient and powerful vacuum I've ever had. It is GREAT!!!I got the model with wheels and a strap for carrying up the stairs and extra long hose. It is perfect for hard to reach places. All I can say EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT. EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE ONE.

amazingly powerful
By Semaphore
This is hands down the most powerful vacuum cleaner/blower I've ever seen. The built quality and design seem WWII-like- almost acceptable, but could have been made from thicker metal, mine arrived all beat up because the manufacturer box has no padding, and amazon didn't do such a hot job packing their box either. The vacuum bag is rather small at maybe 4 to 6 cups, but so is the vaccum so who cares. The blower side is so powerful that the vaccum jumps around when you try to wrangle it when cleaning stuff, blowing whatever is nearby all over the place. I cannot wait to get a well packed one that I can dent up myself
