Excellent hand vacuum cleaner. Very powerful and rugged. Much better than most of the 'wimpy' plastic items on the market. The only minus is that the nozzles do not fit very 'snuggly' on the inlet pipe and tend to come off if not pushed home properly.
Pity you can't buy a cordless version. I have bought an inverter, connected to a 12v battery, so that I can use it for cleaning the interior of my vehicle.

I have come to the realization in my 42 years of life that one vacuum will not satisfy all my needs. having been a professional vacuumer (hotel) I learned quality was the best starting point. The light Metro VMB4500 is good for around my shop. It is the replacement for a whisk broom and dust pan on my work bench. see where I am going? would I try to clean up all the cat hair in my house with it? thats like using a thimble to fill the bathtub. as the other reviews list the short comings, yes to both but not a deal breaker, I not running it for hours, and duct tape fixes all.
The Pluses are- #1 Made in AMERICA- #2 Light, #3 really works well on the suction part- use one of those "plastic" things at work all the time- it can barley pick up dropped popcorn (reason # 42 for a dog) #4 doesnt die after a few minuets of use.
The cord is heavy duty, I dont see the attachment breaking after a week of use, and the bag can be emptied gently and reused. would buy it again, but wish it had wish it had a flexible hose.

I was looking for a hand-held vacuum for general clean-up in my shop and car and to vacuum the heat-exchanger coil of my home's air conditioning system. The MetroVac fills the bill. It had good suction and comes with a couple of accessories (pictured). Others are available. It uses paper filter bags that can be emptied and re-used a few times. It has a long, flexible line cord which is handy. This only gripe is that while the vac has a couple of rubber feet near the front of the cannister, there is none at the rear. Instead there are a couple of exposed screw heads that could scratch a surface. I replaced one of the screws with a longer screw and a rubber bumper and that helps.
