    Metro vac and blow

    I have had my metro vac n blow a couple of months now the purpose of getting it was so it could be left in the van on mobile jobs with the long hose its one less thing to remove on site good plan I thought.
    The performance is ok not the best for real bad interiors for thos eI use another more powerfull unit but fine for express volume regular clients.
    My beef is that it creates a realy high pitched whistle at times even when the hose is off im being told this is the norm I just cant accept that they produce a unit which is torture to use earplugs are required im thinking of contacting your goverment and recomending it for future interigation at juan tanamo bay .
    Considering the makers claims and the cost its just not on does any one else have the same issues with there unit im being told this is the norm im not moaning for the fun of it I just want it to run at an acaptable noise level.
    your experiances with this product would be helpfull many thanks.

    hum, Dwayne is usually good at anserwering my questions, "some do and some dont" doesnt cut it for me, thats unlike Dwayne. I would agree that you should call metro. let us know what they say.

    You could have a screaming bearing. Thats about the only thing in a VAC that wears out.
