best vac for the car?
#31
Metro vac makes a smaller hand-held model I have seen advertised. I have not used it myself but my buddy has it and says it's great. Tells me it's much more powerful than the usual hand-helds. I still like the unit where it just sits on the floor or garage wall and long tubing it comes with really has serious suction. Will be much easier to handle as compared to the shop vac you purchased.

From what I've read in reviews, the noise level is very low, particularly for a unit with this much power. I'll let you know once I try it out.

I purchased a Hoover GUV for my garage...this baby is great, I would highly recommend..obviously, its mounted on your garage wall so you can't use it in your house..might be something to consider!

I originally had the larger Metrovac model that I leave mounted on the wall in my garage. it reaches in the car and I can take it off the mount to use it around the house for a quick cleanup as well. I have central vac in my house and it is actually easier to just grab the unit off the wall rather than drag 30 feet of hose from my central vac for a quick job inside. I just recently purchase the hand-held metrovac vac n blo. I found it was easy when I had the car outside on the driveway while detailing to use a hand-held model. This thing does what it says and more. The power is amazing in this little unit. I particularly liked the round brush attachment which easily gets all the dust out of the corners of seats and especially around the cloth that surrounds the stick shift. You know the area you never seem to be able to get at. I also love the blower to get water out of hard to reach areas like the door hinge area. Give this thing a try. I purchased through Amazon.

1)it is a tad heavy for a 'portable' unit. I've seen pics with this unit on wheels which may be helpful. But all mine came with is the attached handle or a shoulder strap.
2) unit gets very hot very quickly. And with it strapped over my shoulder against my side, it becomes a bit uncomfortable.

Think it would be a wise purchase. What would have been great is if they either made the canister flat on one end instead of cylindrical OR just included some stands to sit in on the floor.

Just used it again yesterday to blow water out of the wheels. Works great, but again, the unit generates SO much heat. Couldn't hold the canister against my body and the air going thru the hose became so hot that I could barely hold it. Is this normal?
