Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Co., Inc.: Committed to the American Dream
In December of 1939, Hyman Gulker pawned his pocket watch and gave $50 to his daughter and son-in-law, Pearl and Israel Stern. That was the beginning of Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Company, the family's American Dream.

Before he founded Metro, Israel sold vacuum cleaners door to door. He was such a great salesman, in fact, that the president of the last company he worked for offered him $100 to come back into the fold. To the president's great disappointment, however, Israel's wife had the last word. She said, "Nothing doing. We're on our own now!"

Since the day those fateful words were spoken, the Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Co., Inc. has grown from a small retail store in Bronx, NY, that sold and repaired vacuum cleaners into a multidivisional corporation with an ever-expanding range of products.

What's in the Box
MDV-1BA vacuum; 19-inch flexible hose; crevice tool; air pin-pointer; soft bristle brush; shoulder strap; five disposable paper bags; and four-piece micro-cleaning tool kit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work well, November 3, 2007

By 

Forest7 - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this vacuum to keep the dust out of my two computers.

The vacuum gets hot quickly when using the smaller tip, but it doesn't vacuum that well without the smaller tip. Even with the smaller tip I found that it worked better as a blower than as a vacuum.

However, after using it to maintain only two computers for approximately five cleanings it is beginning to lose its power, and to heat up more quickly.

I would have chosen a different product had I known this previous to purchase, so I'm rating this to help others.

This review is from: Metro Vacuum MDV-1BA DataVac Pro 4.5-AMP Computer Vac/Blower (Tools & Home Improvement)

Pros:
It runs?

Cons:
It gets VERY hot very fast.
The back easily falls off during use, spilling all that has been vacuumed.
It has an overall cheap feel to it.

I returned mine to Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of power, and no, it doesn't get THAT hot, February 16, 2011

This review is from: Metro Vacuum MDV-1BA DataVac Pro 4.5-AMP Computer Vac/Blower (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've seen the other reviews here recently, and I'm not sure what folks are complaining about. Yes, there's an AC motor in here, so things will tend to get a little warm when moving that much air. We have a Hoover upright at home, and while the sucking power of this little thing doesn't approach that Vacuum, it does admirably enough that I no longer need to use the Hoover. The attachment you see in the photo representing the vacuum is great for getting those dust bunnies out from the bottom of the case, and even better for cleaning off exhaust grates and fan assemblies. If you've got a fine layer of dust on something, this, and my Hoover, aren't very good at this. To make this vacuum the one-two punch you need for dust, you need either compressed air, or a hose from a compressor to help loosen things up. That's how I did it with the upright, and that's how I do it with this thing.

As for the heat, I've had it on for extended periods of time, 5-7 minutes a stretch and while it does get warm, as long as you aren't blocking the exhaust port, you won't get any trouble. Every vacuum/blower I've ever used got as warm as this one does, so I don't see what people are complaining about. It's all online sensationalism as far as I can tell. Sorry guys.

The extra included filters are a nice touch, but I usually just empty mine out until I need to switch to another one - no loss of sucking power or excess heat. It is a little unweildy though, I wish the hose was a little longer or the tube was shaped differently, but it sits in my lap just fine all the same.
