Review: Metro Master Blaster

**ExpressDetail** · 05-27-2011, 12:03 PM

Very nice review as I was watching the vids I was thinking wait a minute... Works great on properly maintained paint. But what about the new customers cars. Than BAM! You covered all areas very in depth review 5 stars. But I still dont understand why you took a picture of your buffer

I love this thing. It's a bit pricy but the value is really in a couple key spots.
Pro:
1. Tires and rims. One of my cars, BMW, has a habit of putting out a lot of orange rust residue from the brakes after being hit with water. This eliminates that, by drying every part of the wheel,caliper, hub, etc...
2. Wiper area. If you have a plastic catch tray, it can spot especially if you have hard water. (warning this can also blow out a lot of debris caught in the tray like, leaves, pine needles).
3. Foglights, turn signal lights are notorious for holding soap and water, even after a through rinse.
4. Used it to clean the garage and driveway of leaves and dust . (faster than a broom, don't need water).

Cons:
1. Expensive for what it is. I have a 4HP shop vac with a blower function but it doesn't even come close to the power of this thing.
2. A bit heavy and cumbersome.
3. Hose can kink at the base. (i used duct tape to prevent this).
4. Nozzle detached from hose repeatedly, again duct tape, no problems.
5. Loud especially when it gets in contact with a tight space makes high pitch whistling sound.
6. Cord, not very long (buy a 12 gauge extension cord)

Corey, have you tried sweeping out your garage using the MB yet?

(and you deserve to get back on the front page).

Excellent review Corey! I don't have a Master Blaster but I have two different Metro products, the VacNGo and the Sidekick. Great quality products.

Thanks for all the feedback, kind words, and a few laughs everybody! I appreciate it

Btw: I meant to note and Jim reminded me that if anybody is worried about the 18 amps because they may be running a 15 amp circuit don't be worried. When you start the motors you can turn them on with a second between one another and you won't get that peak amperage. I am on a 15 amp breaker and haven't popped it once. I have turned on the motors as close to simultaneously as you can a couple times and didn't have any issue.

Bill, I have used it to blow the garage and it nocks it out quickly and thoroughly. I just have to be careful where I aim it. When I was drying the car the first time I used it I blew over a half full bottle off the shelf from the other side of the car. LOL

Great review Corey. I actually own the smaller 4HP only version and its pretty darn awesome.

Probably the best about your reviews is the nice QnA emails you post that you have with someone (most of the time the owner) of the company. Keep up the amazing work man!

Thank You for a tremendous and thoroughly engaging review buddy. That being said, I can tell you really think this product blows Big Time! I gotta get me one!
