METROVAC Air Force Blaster, Lightweight Car & Motorcycle Vacuum Cleaner, Dryer with Truck Air Duster - Black

Wow what can I say about this little blower? This is quite the blower: very powerful and well made. I love it! I used to use a leaf blower but the Metro Blower is much easier and more powerful. The hose is the best quality rubber hose that I have seen you don't have to worry about it scratching the paint if it bumps your car or motorcycle. The tip on the hose is also made of soft rubber. I do recommend purchasing the little dolly with it otherwise I think you would almost have to carry it around by the handle in one hand the carry the hose in the other. With the little dolly it just follows you everywhere you go and has never turned over. I have a small shop with a drain in the floor so a can wash the car, truck and motorcycle inside. With this being said I'm not sure how well it would work if you were outside because the wind would dry it before you could get it blown off maybe. I use it to blow of all my vehicles and my dog. The hotter it is outside the hotter the Metro Vac will blow. It does not heat up the air as some seem to believe it should. The heat comes from the motor as you run it. Even in cool weather it will blow warm air after it has run for awhile. It takes awhile to get used to blowing off your vehicle. You want to start at the top and try to blow in the same dirrection because if you have to change dirrection you will blow water back on what you just dried. You have to keep moving the water with the blower until its all blown off. It does a great job and will blow water out of places you won't get with towel drying. I can wash my Harley and blow it off in about 35 minutes. Hope this helps!

As Tony the Tiger would say, this product is GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!!!! I just got a new Harley Tri-Glide, and believe me, there are a lot of nooks & crannies you just can't get to with a towel. I plugged this Bad Boy in and whoooosh! Water gets blown away with a warm blast of air leaving behind a clean, shiny, streak free surface. My only complaint is that I didn't get one sooner! If you have a lot of spare time, towels, and patience, maybe you can get by without one of these. I work graveyard and I would rather ride than spend half a day drying my Hog off when I cold be out getting it dirty again. I am actually looking forward to washing my scoot! "Nuff said

A quality made piece of machinery, Was able to completely wash and dry my Electra Glide in less than an hour. Air hose is long enough to reach around bike when pump placed at one end. Power cord a good length as well. The rubber nozzle tips will not scratch finish if accidental contact is made. Air is reasonably warm, when combined with the high volume air flow output, water literally disappears. Beats the daylights out of a leaf blower. A must for all cyclists.

Prime rocks - got this blower super fast. I bought it to replace a leaf blower since I just purchased a new car and figured I might as well do things the right way. I like that it isn't as loud as a leaf blower but I also don't think it has as much force when comparing it to my cheapy leaf blower. I did debate sending this back because of that. Using something like this on new tires and rims is one of the best ways to dry them, I would love to have the bigger unit but I couldn't justify the cost. This would be perfect for a motorcycle I'm assuming. I use this on a 4 door Golf and it's perfectly fine. Air comes out is warm - the name could be confusing because some of the models can actually be used as a vacuum too (this unit only blows air). I will update this review once I get to try again on a car that has been properly waxed (I'm sure it will knock the water right off) UPDATE - Works better on a properly waxed car. Still not 100% if I made the right purchase, I have named it the "dead cockroach" because it spends 90% of its time on its back with it's legs in the air. It is pretty friggin annoying that it tips over SO EASY.

This may seem expensive for just a blower to dry your car or motorcycle (there's no vacuum capability) but you get what you pay for. It reminds me of how products were made 30 years ago before everything was made in China. This is made to last a lifetime. They even give you the ability to replace the motor brushes when they become worn. It takes just minutes to blow the water off of a car. It is especially comforting to see it blow all the water out of the nooks and crannies. You'd be surprised how much water is trapped around tail lights and behind the trim. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

I am very meticulous and anal when it comes to washing and detailing cars. I probably invested around $1,500 in supplies and equipment to take good care of my cars. Up until now, I've been using a leaf blower to dry my car. But due to its excessive noise, I had to consider alternate methods to keep my neighbors calm and cool. The blower I've been using is Toro Super Blower fyi. It seemed insane to spend $200 on a dryer. But it was only a matter of time until I started getting complaints from my neighbors, so I pulled the trigger and got this item. Worst case scenario, I can just return it if it didn't fit my needs. I was a little concerned at first as many people claimed the noise level to be similar to their leaf blowers'. However, I can tell you that this is SIGNIFICANTLY quieter compared to leaf blowers. Noise level is comparable to well made floor vacuums (i.e. Miele). On top of that, the output of air is incredibly strong. There's no need to go with the 8hp one as 4hp is more than enough. What used to take 30 min. with a leaf blower now only takes about 15. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and I will be keeping this for sure. In summary, here are some pros and cons. Pros: - Quieter than expected. Quiet enough to keep neighbors from complaining. - Craftsmanship is excellent. - 4hp output is more than sufficient. 8hp would be an overkill. - Cuts down the labor time by half (15 min. to completely dry a Toyota Camry) - The 10ft hose is more than enough Cons: - Without a dolly, you have to carry it around. It's not that heavy, but after 10 min., your arms do get tired. - The hose is very sturdy. This can be a good thing, but in my case, caused hose to be inflexible. I couldn't move it around as freely as I would've liked to. I had to be careful to keep the hose from scratching the surface/paint. - The electrical cord is not long enough. You will need an extension.

Exceptional quality! This blower really works well. The amount of air it puts out is unbelievable and it makes drying your car easy. I mainly use it for getting the water out from the trim so it doesn't drip and also drying the wheels. I have used it to dry the entire car and it works really really good !!

Bought mine in 2015 when I bought my black 5.0. Pretty much WOULD NOT own a black car (with black wheels) without a blower. Almost 6 years later, it's still cranking like the day I bought it. (I'm actually looking on amazon now to replace the bearings....as they say you should) IN 2015 THIS THING WAS 161....NOW IT'S ALMOST 230!!!! Proof how good it is....it's worth 230. WHY IT'S BETTER THAN YOUR LEAF BLOWER: You're not holding the motor...just a flexible, long, hose with a beautiful "safe for anything" rubber nozzle. Your shoulder thanks you. And so does your car, as you don't have to raise the blower over the fenders, to get the hood. The air goes over the motor, and heats up, so you get filtered, heated air. Again, the rubber nozzle gives you a better blast of air to dry a car than your leaf blower's nozzle. You just look Pro AF using it. LOL
