Works great. Get the dolly, otherwise there is no way to conveniently set it down because it rolls around.

the best car vaccum!
rating: 5
Needed a gr8 vacuum for my car. Hooked up with some detailing pro's online and this was recommended.
Wow. Have used the blower to dry my car. and cleans my black interior of all dog hair (dang kids are a dog hair magnet).
My wife even is stealing this for the house. It is light,made of steel (no plastic feel, sits on your shoulder with the strap and is so small it is easy to store.
Highly Recommended for people who love their cars.

The Great, the Good, and the Bad
rating: 4
This vacuum has a lot going for it. I bought it to keep my brand-new car looking sharp on the inside. Having kids, I am no stranger to crumbs and mud making their way into our cars, even though we are very careful about that.
The "great" is the workmanship. It appears that this vacuum is extremely well-made. It's made like things used to be made. The tools are just about the same as any other vacuum cleaner attachments. The suction is very strong. This is such a high-powered vacuum that I'm sure I would use in on my new car's carpets, but when I used it on the seat upholstery, the suction was so strong that I was afraid one could actually harm their upholstery with that kind of intense pulling.
When I took off the upholstery attachment and used the crevice attachment, I felt much better about using it on the seats.
The "good" is the warm air that is produced by using it as a blower. This would be perfect for blow-drying parts of the car that are hard to towel dry after a car wash.
The bad is the weight. It has no feet on the vacuum, and it doesn't come with a dolly, but you can order one for about $25. I lugged this vacuum while I used it, and it weighs about eight or nine pounds. (Think of carrying a bowling ball in one hand while you vacuum with another.)
I was originally going to send this back and order a less powerful car vacuum that would be easier to carry around. Now, I'm thinking about ordering the dolly. The concern I have is that I don't know how high this would make the vacuum as it rolls around the garage. This vacuum could easily damage a car if it was rolling on the ground and got pulled into the fender or car door. It would be great if this dolly kept the height of the vacuum below that of the bottom of the car.
The last comment is similar to that made by another reviewer. This item is listed on Amazon as Model VNB 83, and the nameplate attached to the machine says VNB 73. It is evident that someone tried to pull that nameplate off and gave up.
All in all, I will probably keep this vacuum and use it very gingerly. There are great things about it, and there are bad things that concern me.

Wrong model number...............Again!!!
rating: 1
Had the same experience as another reviewer here. Purchased this model number, but received a different model number.
Called Amazon customer service and they shipped me another one. Same problem - the box is labeled with the correct model number, but the model number on the product is different. It's not Amazon's fault, but the company's.
I now question the integrity of MetroVac as this seems to NOT be an isolated incident. What an easy way for a company to embarrass itself.

my review
rating: 4
I received and have used my vacuum and am pretty happy with it except for the vacuum attachments. The attachment head provided with the Metro to vacuum the floor of my car sucks, there is no opening on the attachment fitting and there is so much sucking power
that it's hard to pull it off the carpet, so I couldn't use it and had to resort to just the hose opening. The other thing is the length of the hose, it absolutely needs 3 more feet. Other wise I'm very happy with it, this vacuum has more suck power than you can imagine, maybe too much.
