    Metro portable vs full size vac

    Is the primary difference between the portable vac and the full size vac just the dolly and a smaller capacity bag?

    The motor specs seem identical so what was taken out to make it smaller?

    Re: Metro portable vs full size vac

    If it's the ones I think you are talking about then yes. It is just a different bag size between the 3 models that makes them different sizes. The Met Vac rep was explaining this to D-Dave and I at DF. He said other then attachments and bag size the the 3 were the same as far as motor and everything. Here's a chart that might help too

    Yes. I had looked at the comparison chart but just wondering if something else that was obvious was missing. It looks like all Metro vacs come with free shipping - dropped shipped from Metro.

    Oh, other then the bag sizes and attachments he also said the hoses were different.

    I think the bag lengths were like 9", 15" and 21" or something like that. I don't quite remember the dimensions anymore.

    It looked like most attachments were the same. The biggest difference I could tell was the inclusion of a wall mount and extra long hose with the larger model.
