Overview
A car interior, a workshop bench or upholstery is where this MetroVac hand unit spends its time. It vacuums dry dirt into a bag through a steel body, then switches to blowing dust out of vents and crevices.
Owners get a durable metal hand vac with strong sealed suction for its size and a blower mode for dusting. It is corded and dry only, so spills and cordless jobs need another tool.
Who it's for
Detailers and hobbyists cleaning seats, mats and benches will use both modes. Anyone mopping up spills needs a wet dry vac.
Pros and cons
- Vacuum and blower in one
- Light for one hand use
- Made in the USA
- Bagged for clean emptying
- Dry pickup only
- Corded, needs an outlet
- Weight figures differ in listing
Performance notes
Suction strength comes from the sealed water lift, which governs how well it pulls grit from carpet fibers. Blowing uses the same motor to push air through crevices. Being corded, power stays steady but reach depends on the outlet.
