Metrovac anyone?

[JustSomeGuy]

Does anyone use the Metrovac Vac N Blo? The kit with the car detail accessories is around $450 and I want to know if it’s worth that before I drop the coin. Perhaps @DFB5.0 @Les or @WD Pro have some experience?

You use it for cleaning the interior and blowing the outside of the car to help dry it?

I only use it to vacuum. I have another Metro blower for drying. I use my leave blower sometimes when I’m to lazy to get the extension cord out.

JSG: I got mine before they figured out that they could make a vacuum out of the rig as well so I only use it for drying the car. In that mode, it works extremely well. No more drying towels!

I think Metrovac were one of, if not the first to offer something like this. They look very stout/well made.

Compared to a leaf blower, these type of machines heat and filter the air before discharge. This may or may not be of interest to you. In winter, the heating function is very nice to have as it speeds up the process and keeps your hands warm. The filtration aspect is nice to have but not essential.

I have the twin-motor BlowR Big Boi, because, I like POWER! The smaller versions with the single motor can also be had with a vacuum function.

Mine is an earlier version, but they have since come out with updated Pro+ version with power and speed control on the hose outlet. I think that feature alone elevates the Big Boi's over the competition.

Esoteric have a few of them on sale at the moment -

I have also been using an EGO 765 blower more and more lately, mainly for the convivence of not lugging a power cord and hose around. A leaf blower won't be as thorough as a dedicated blower, but when I'm time limited or lazy, the EGO is my choice.

I tried using it with the full length standard tube, but it's too cumbersome like that. You definetly want a stubby nozzle, which transforms the usability of the unit.

You don't necessarily need an EGO, although they have the best batteries for this, any cordless leaf blower will work and are also available with stubby nozzles.
