Stainless Steel Construction for Durability and Performance
In the appliance industry, stainless steel has quickly become the trademark of products that look great and perform professionally. With its sturdy stainless steel and chrome body and stainless steel canister, you know the ADM-4PNHSF will resist wear and tear and will perform like new over the long term.

Backed by a five-year motor warranty, this heavy-duty canister vac will see you through years of cleaning.

Twin-Fan Motor and HEPA Filtration for a Clean, Healthy Home or Car
What's inside is just as impressive as what's on the outside. The ADM-4PNHSF has an industrial-quality, twin-fan motor that cranks out an impressive 4.0 peak horsepower--more power than units that sell for twice the price! And it sucks up dirt and dust the first time, so you don't need to make repeated passes over the area you're cleaning.

Additionally, its four-stage, HEPA-certified air filtration system traps 99.97 percent of all airborne allergens, dust, and animal dander for a clean, germ-free car or home.

State-of-the-Art Power Nozzle and Accessories Provide Easy Operation
This canister vacuum also boasts an electronic power nozzle assembly. The electric hose is equipped with an ergonomically correct pistol-grip and a fingertip power switch for comfortable, easy use.

Additionally, telescoping extension wands make it easy to reach your car's trunk or under the sofa, while a low-profile power head features a dirt-seeking headlight. For added convenience, a toe-touch switch allows the power head to switch smoothly from carpet to bare flooring, and a storage halo cord prevents the cord from obstructing path.

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
ADM-4PNHSF canister vacuum; storage halo cord; seven-inch power conductive flexible hose; four chrome/steel extension wands (two with locks); electric power nozzle; crevice tool; fabric tool; dust brush; floor/wall brush; three disposable bags; and two charcoal foam filters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, but not (as durable as) your mother's vacuum., July 27, 2008

This review is from: Metropolitan Professionals ADM-4PNHSF 13 Amp 4-Horsepower Canister Vacuum with Quadruple Hepa Filtration and Electric Power Nozzle (Tools & Home Improvement)

UPDATE: WOULD REDUCE TO 2 STARS. At no charge, the manufacturer sent a replacement cover to correct the broken rivet. The customer service was good. They suggested bending the wheel into place to straighten the Now, however, 17 months after purchase, the electric power nozzle does not turn on. This follows on several weeks of the nozzle turning on and off intermittently. Now I wish I had purchased the vacuum from a physical store with a buyer protection program. My new strategy is to buy cheap vacuums on a buyer protection plan and get the broken parts replaced. This was way too expensive for the grief.

ORIGINAL: I bought this because I was tired of the expensive, plastic vacuums falling apart within the first year of use. While this vacuum is incredibly powerful (indeed it sucks the area rugs right off the floor) it's not the indestructible stainless steel canister vacuum of my childhood. Within the first 4 months a rivet broke loose from the canister, making it impossible to close the vacuum. I tape it shut for use now. One wheel drags as well, leaving long black scuff marks on my white floors. I'm underwhelmed, but perhaps the manufacturer will make good on the warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good vacuum, lacks modern features, sucks - in the wrong way, October 16, 2009

This review is from: Metropolitan Professionals ADM-4PNHSF 13 Amp 4-Horsepower Canister Vacuum with Quadruple Hepa Filtration and Electric Power Nozzle (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this vacuum for a few reasons:
1) All the brand name vacuums listed on consumer reports have user reviews that said the vacuums were not that good
2) the user reviews for this vacuum were much higher, albeit fewer people, but I looked at both models too.
3) The reviews of this vacuum made it sound like it was amazing

I am truly wondering if the previous reviewers all worked for the company.

While I will say this IS a good vacuum, it does not live up to the hype and quite frankly lacks some key modern features or has some poor quality aspects
1) The cord just hangs out there with no place to go. You can wrap it around the body but that is a pain in the @$$.
2) The spare attachments hang onto a flimsy plastic carrier that poorly snaps onto the vacuum tube/pole
3) the long pole attachment (not the set that goes to the power nozzle but the other long one for the non powered attachments) does not clip. As you are vacuuming the pole will frequently fall off onto the floor.
4) The documentation / instructions for this vacuum are very poor at best. All you basically get is a poor quality single sheet of paper with very vague instructions. When you unwrap the vacuum, you have 4 poles and it takes a while to figure out why 4 (2 for the power nozzle and 2 for non power). No help from the directions. All it says is to attach the poles. You also are left wondering about the bag and filter insertion. there is absolutely nothing about proper installation.
5) You have two power buttons. One on the main body of the vacuum and one for the power nozzle. When using the power nozzle this design makes no sense at all. You have to turn the body power on, and then you have to turn the power nozzle power on. When you shut the power nozzle off, the vacuum is still running and still needs to be shut off. The button on the body is a toggle switch. Low to the left, Off in the middle, and High to the right. It takes some getting used to when trying to switch it off to not go completely from low-high (or high-low) instead of stopping in the middle.

The vacuum has very good suction, but it certainly won't suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. :-)

minus 1 star for horrible documentation
minus 1 star for dumb power controls
minus 1 star for nothing modern on the features/attachments

I almost wanted to give another minus 1 star for not living up to the hype.

I am not totally disappointed with the vacuum. It basically works fine. And I am not sure how happy I would be with the brand name vacuums with so many real people rating them low. I might still buy this vacuum if I did it again. But my expectations would be much lower.

UPDATE 12/27/2009: OK - its been 3 months and I would change the stars to 0. My wife says she clearly hates this vacuum and I have to agree it is a pain in the @$$ to use. It works as a vacuum just fine - but how you use it is such a pain it makes the thought of going around and picking up each piece of dirt by hand sound more attractive. Clearly previous reviewers had to be employees of the company and were forced to leave positive comments.

4.0 out of 5 stars Metropolitan AMD-4PNHSF w/ power nozzle, February 18, 2008

This review is from: Metropolitan Professionals ADM-4PNHSF 13 Amp 4-Horsepower Canister Vacuum with Quadruple Hepa Filtration and Electric Power Nozzle (Tools & Home Improvement)

We just opened the box. It took all of 5 minutes to put it together. First thing I checked was the suction. It was great. Two negatives, no auto cord recoil and the exhaust is loud. It is well built, glides nicely along the floor, comes with all the accessories, including two extra chrome metal wands, has a powerful rug beater and the bare floor nozzle has great bristles. It is light weight so it is easy to carry up the stairs and makes it OK to clean the stairs, although I wish the hose was longer. We have had all types of vacuums, Oreck upright, sharp canister, Hoover canister, shop vacs, etc. After all is said and done, when you get right down to it, you have to use a canister vac if you want to really clean. It allows you to get the dirt and dust in those hard to reach places and an upright is simply not going to cut it. We looked at all the vacs, Electrolux, Dyson, Eureka, Kenmore, Bla, Bla, Bla, Ba Bla. Based on price, performance, ease of use, durability and good old SUCTION!, this Metro is the sucker of all house vacs, bar none. It has a toggle switch for low and high suction and the power head is well made. My wife just made a comment that it is LOUD, but man it really feels like the house is clean!! Go for it!!!
