Metro Vacuum. As the name implies, does it vacuums and blows? Most of the reviewers spoke about blowing, I am wondering if it vacuums also?

This is only a duster. They (the same company) make a vacuum that can blow air as well, but it is not a powerful.

ok.....it is not a vacuum.....it is a high powered "duster". it blows...out a narrow or broader blast of air.....it is great for my computer and many other devices where an (intake) vacuum would not do job. for me, it completely replaces buying expensive "canned" air....david cornwell

No, it doesn't vacuum. We have been using it for over a year to blow dusty parts and avoid using compressed CO2 cans. We have saved a few hundreds by now.

It does really well with fine dust like drywall. They demo it in one of their videos I believe. I think it comes down to how well your vacuum performs and how frequently you empty the dust bucket.

This brand/model vacuum died on me twice... I never got to emptying it. It's a piece of junk...my experience. Sorry I can't help.

I have returned it. It did not work for me. It was neither a vacuum cleaner nor a floor cleaner.

I have not actually tried it in my car - but I will give you my opinions. It has better than average suction. Definitely better than those dustbusters. Not as good as your vacuum (if you have a decent one) and if you are used to the powerful suction of a shopvac or the vacuums at the car washes, you will be disappointed. Otherwise - I think it would be a passing second to hauling your inside vacuum out of the house to the garage outlets. If you are talking about sucking up tons of things from cars used by kids - I would go use a car wash vacuum. If you are just talking about general dirt, something that's spilled and vacuuming upholstery - then yes - I think it would be fine. Hope that helps.

It works great on hardwood floors, but doesn't have the power for carpet, I am still trying to find a vac that picks up pet hair and dirt from carpet that doesn't weigh a ton!! Have a bad back, if you find one please let me know!!

I don't think it makes any more noise than a regular vacuum. Even if it does....it's because it has such great suction power!

Hi Mac,It's just a powerful standard hand vac.--no blowing of air so far as I know.

Does anyone know if the Hoover Platinum with Canister Vac is any good? I was between that and Electrolux but I saw the bad reviews for the Oxygen. We have cats, dogs, children so I vacuum everyday, and seem to destroy a vacuum every 1 1/2 years between everything.... Okay maybe 2x a day... Any suggestions?

I don't know exactly how much air it moves, but it moves a lot of air. Whatever the specs say is probably true. As far as I know it has no brushes, at least it looks brushless. I paired the blower with a "KEEDOX® NEW 6V-90V 15A DC Motor Pump Speed Controller" from amazon to make it variable speed.

We used to have a model which attached to our own vacuum but this one, as you are aware, is a canister model. All I can tell you is that we are pleased with this unit and it seems to have plenty of power and suction. This is a great deal more convenient than hauling out the regular vac to hook up to. Good luck.

I only use it on hardwood and tile floors. It's not good as the only vacuum.

No, I have not experienced a noisy vacuum. Vacuum on the soldering iron is basically silent. I used the vacuum parts picker in the past, and my recollection is that it was louder than the vacuum on the iron, but not by much.Make certain that you have removed the red screw from the bottom of the unit. It makes all kinds of odd (and wrong!) sounds unless that is removed.

This is not the greatest vacuum. I would rethink it! It works well on a bare floor, but not that great on carpet. You just plug it in and it last only minutes.

Great blower, not so much for vacuum. It does not mulch much, most leaves stay intact. It just sucks the leaves in a very small bag that fills up fast. It never clogged though, I used a different bag from an older mulcher that attached to a trash can and it helped. Would definitely recommend for the blower, not the vacuum.

Yes, i would say it sounds like a little powerful vacuum so if u are trying to be quiet it won't happen...but the power is amazing of its cleaning & does its job very well...
