Tools and Hardware Reviews of Metro Vacuum MDV-1BA DataVac Pro 4.5-AMP Computer Vac/Blower
Customer Review: A Viable Little Vacuum
Summary: 5 Stars
When I got this little vacuum , I plugged it in and turned it on to break it in before using it. A few things I noticed. It has incredible suction, like a full sized vacuum kind of suction ! It runs as quiet as a vacuum can. It makes a little less noise than a full sized vacuum. It puts alot of air out the blower end. You will notice that I am comparing it to a full size vacuum. It really is that powerful considering it's size. The blower half does warm up a little but it WILL NOT burn you. It doesn't get anywhere near that hot. Just warm. After the break-in I figured I would give it a go. First , I dried my dog off with it. The blower is perfect. It blows out a stream of luke warm air. Dried the dog in about 5 minutes. Next, I cleaned out 3 computers. It does a great job, with ample suction, this chore went by without a notice. I then used it to clean my car and truck. Mind you, it still has great suction, even after all of that. That is as far as I have gone with it so far. Next week it cleans out a customer's computer. I think we will have a long happy union. It is powerful, light, quiet, and doesn't lose suction. What more could you ask for? Buy the 3-foot extention hose, it makes life easier. Get extra filters, it holds about 2 cups of dirt. It fits all standard attachments from my full size vacuum, good thing to keep in mind. You won't regret having bought this unit. Good value, great construction, ample power, and it's so small. I will be keeping this one.Customer Review: Perfect replacement for canned air!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently acquired a few cleaning robots and needed to have a blower ready all the time to clean the up. I hated buying canned air -- so expensive and ecologically poor -- so I found this little vacuum/blower. It's a great size and really packs some power. I like the idea of the shoulder strap but couldn't figure out how to attach it other than just looping it through the handle, which makes it hang down pointing to the floor. I also wish the attachments could be made to actually attach (via a button or hook) so they don't blow off when you're blowing. As it is, I have to hold the attachment tightly while I'm blowing, which makes it more difficult and less precise to direct the air where I want it. One more thing I'd change is to have the way you access the bag more difficult to open. It comes open quite easily when you're just handling the vacuum, which can make a mess if the contents of the bag spill out.
All of these changes said, I do LOVE the item and would purchase it again.
Customer Review: Not worth it.
Summary: 1 Stars
I work in IT and we have one of these vacuums at work. The only good part about it is that it's small, lite and handy when working with electronics. On the bad side it's very underpowered, with the small tips there's just not enough air movement to suck out all the dust. We found it much easier to use regular Dyson vacuum with a small attachment and if you need to blow the dust out it definitely doesn't even compare to a can of compressed air. Also like others have mentioned the metal body of the vacuum heats up very quickly, you're probably not gonna get burned or anything but it's very strange that it heats up that quick. It's also loud as hell but then again most vacuums are.
If you need a vacuum for electronics I would seriously suggest buying a regular vacuum with a set of small attachments for it.
I hope this helps. Cheers!
Customer Review: Awesome product
Summary: 4 Stars
I had been looking far and wide for a good small vacuum/blower to clean my computers out and boy does this one fit the bill. The only drawback on this machine is that it heats up pretty quickly. I believe that this was due mostly because of the attachment I used. When you use the smallest/narrowest blower end, it makes it harder on the motor. I have yet to test the suction part of it, but I'd say that if your using it under normal circumstances (without the extreemly narrow ends), that it most likely would not get so hot so fast. I would recomment this product to anyone especially for anyone looking for a good way to clean their computers out. You can't beat the price either, in my humble opinion.Customer Review: Great vac!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for my son for a Christmas gift. He works on computers and always needs a vacuum when he goes to someone's home to work on their PC. He loved it. It is small and fits into a small pull along case I also bought him for his tools. It has alot of power for a small canister vac and gets the job done! I thought he would tell me the gift "sucked" (haha) but he really liked it and uses it all of the time! I also purchased the "micro" cleaning accessory kit and extra bags, to go with it, but the vacuumm comes with five bags and accessories. This would also be a great idea for those who love detailing autos!!!
