Re: BigBoi vs Metro Blaster Sidekick
Between the 2 of them I prefer the feel of the Sidekick. It doesn’t feel as cumbersome as the Big Boi but Big Boi wins in performance, but not by much. Both are great, but it comes down to preference.

Re: BigBoi vs Metro Blaster Sidekick
Thank you.
I'm debating on this vs an air compressor for the engine bay. Would either of these put out enough air to remove a good amount of dirt from an engine bay? I'm thinking of something like of Tornador air gun too.
I have some areas in the engine (around the coil pack area) that get sand when I drive on the beach. My leaf blower could not remove it. Ideally I'd like to have both but I could use the leaf blower I have for the body of the car and maybe add in an air compressor with the Tornador or something similar for engine bay areas.

These things are best at moving a wider volume of air as opposed to a focused velocity. If you're trying to remove some stubborn grime under the hood, around the engine compartment, crevices and such I'd think an air compressor would do that better.

Re: BigBoi vs Metro Blaster Sidekick
i think metrovac needs to back to the drawing board and redesign (always room for improvement) some areas of their blowers. for one, the exterior port should have a locking hose (on the front end as well with the accessories) so it will not accidentally detach from unit during use (rather than just slide on). second, an expandable hose which will also cut down on storage as well. here's an example...

Re: BigBoi vs Metro Blaster Sidekick
Was all set to get the big boi buddy or the $199 bigger version when Eve’s husband had a sale on a Orange sidekick for $65 with 15% off.... couldn’t pass it up and could always order the bigger big boi if needed.
At less than half the price of the buddy I had to try it and have been impressed. Use it to dry my mustang 90%. Only had a month but It’s was one of my favorite scores.

Re: BigBoi vs Metro Blaster Sidekick
I'm another happy Sidekick (enthusiast, not pro) customer. I find it especially useful for wheels, tires, and engine bay. Also very helpful in tight or small areas like grills. I went with the lower price vs. other brands but am not disappointed with the performance.

I just received the sidekick and it came with a strain relief.
