Metropolitan Vac N’ Blo Auto Vacuum
Dirty Cars Be Afraid... Very Afraid
(5)
This thing really sucks. Sorry, I couldn’t resist - cheesy and obvious.
Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Company got their start in 1939 (Happy 70th Anniversary) and has grown into a multidivisional company with market share in pet grooming and drying, computer maintenance, inflators/deflators as well as car, bike, and floor care products.
The Metro Vac N Blo is quite the little machine. The unit itself is quiet, compact, and maneuverable, but the power is more than distinct. You are in for a treat with the first flip of the power switch. The torque produced by the motor of the Metro Vac N Blo is foretelling of the Terminator-like elimination of dirt and debris in your vehicle, garage, or even around the house or apartment.
The Vac N Blo comes equipped with a four-wheeled dolly (optional) and a shoulder strap for portability, as well as a “pik-all,” crevice tools, two 20″ extensions, and other versatile and functional attachments to tackle almost any job thrown at it (even inflating your raft or air mattress). Getting under the seat, in and around air vents and knobs on the dash, and vacuuming the carpets barely tap the potential Metropolitan Vacuum Co. has engineered into this beast.
For you tech and spec junkies, here’s what impressed me:
- 4.0 peak horsepower motor
- 11.25 AMPS
- 90+ inches of water lift (a measure of suction for vacuums)
- 200 mph blower
- 8.75 pounds
Its quality, steel-built construction (American made) and high performance are far greater than the old shop vac familiar to your grandfather and dad, and anyone who cares for their own vehicles would be well-advised to consider adding the Metro Vac N Blo to their garage arsenal.
Cost: $159+
Cheesy or not, if this works like you say it works, I need one! Great article!
Looks like a nice set of smaller tools to get at dash crevices; my current shop-vac sounds like the Concord taking off, so I need this one!
Nice article, I just wonder how loud this thing gets….ear protection?
That's a good question. This unit does make noise, but it's quite a bit less than my Craftsman wet/dry. I was fine without ear protection, but it ultimately comes down to your environment.
The metrovac is one of the best out there IMO
Also if you want to dry your car with minimal contact with the paint, check out the Master Blaster!

I use this unit for my mobile detailing business and it is wonderful and exactly as described. It's a great addition to anybody's garage (and home for stairs/corners/windows instead of lugging your upright around). Nice article, ZaneO!
Thank you.
Just what I needed… another excuse to buy tools! Seriously, my regular shopvac is just not well suited for car detailing. This thing looks perfect. I'm dig their wall mount model, as well.
I knew you'd love another toy to add to the collection.
Dusty, I knew you'd love another toy to add to the collection! Ha.
