Metro Vacuum VM12500 Vac N Blo 120V, 500-Watt Portable Vac/Blower Reviews By Customers

My vehicles get a lot of sand, dirt, and small stones tracked into them. Those hand-held "pet hair" vacuums leave much of it behind. This vacuum was able to pick up all the little bits of gravel and sand on the floor boards.

Disagreements with negative reviews:
- I'm sensitive to noise, and I did not find this vacuum too noisy, especially when using it outdoors.
- It did not get uncomfortably or dangerously hot.
- I had no problem with the attachments falling off.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it did not come with filters (only bags). The manufacturer's product insert suggests buying filters to protect the engine. Good idea, so why didn't they include some with the vacuum?

Great suction power, light weight and does a very good job. I probably wouldn't buy the Vac N Blow, rather, just the Vac N Go, unless you want the pumping capability the "Blow" option offers. I would highly recommend it.

Metro Vacuum VM12500 Vac N Blow 500 Watt - N. Grammer - Tacoma, WA United States
I found the product cumbursome to maneuver and the suction diminished after about 5 minutes of vacuuming. The hose wasn't long enough which caused the vacuum to get josteled around while I vacuumed. Using the attachments directly attached made it difficult to get around the tighter spaces. I was disppointed that it did not meet my expectation and I ended up returning it.
