Description

Suck up dirt, dust, crud and wayward french fries with the held-held convenience of the Metropolitan 500 Hand Vacuum. This retro-styled Metro vacuum comes in 2 different models—110-volt and 12-volt—both packed with modern power and convenience.

Weighing in at less than 3lbs, the Metro and Metro 500 are both easy to use and easy to carry. Each includes an array of attachment tools designed to get the deepest crevices dirt free.

The 110-volt Metro 500 plugs right into your wall outlet and delivers 500 watts of pure suction. The 12-volt Metro works off of your vehicle’s lighter socket for convenience and mobility. In fact, both vacuums boast more suction than any competitor in their respective classes.

Crafted of all-steel construction, the Metropolitan Hand Vacuums are built to last. The elegant stainless steel finish delivers a retro look and the integrated handle makes them easy to wield. Best yet, Metro Vac backs your Metropolitan and Metropolitan 500 vacuums with a 5-year warranty.

I wish, I now ordered the rechargeable battery operated one for my Ford Escape instead of the ac plug type. It has so much power that it is too powerful for my ac plugin in my vehicle. I now have to run a extension cord to my car from the house, kinda a drag.

My sister, who is in her sixties and has shoulder problems, bought her first brand new vehicle this year. It is a crossover model so it is big inside and has black carpeting. She wanted to be able to keep the interior clean on her own so I started the on-line search to find her a hand-held vacuum for her birthday. It was a really easy search once I fine-tuned what she needed. Great power, a plug-in with a long hose attachment and as little weight as possible with a sturdy body. Once I hit the Auto Anything website my search immediately took me to the Metropolitan 500. I didn't want to pay for an extra set of accessories to get the hose so the folks at Auto Anything gave me the number for the Metropolitan distributor and I bought a 3-foot hose to use with the attachments that were included in the Met 500's price. Customer service, shipping and answers to my questions were all spot on. Previous reviews mentioned a problem with accessories slipping off, that only happens if you don't slide it on and twist it a bit and then they all fit very snugly. She loves it, it is light-weight enough for her to use and she says the power/suction is more than she thought any hand-held could provide. Now my 84-year old Mom uses it in their home for all kinds of cleaning and raves about the Metropolitan 500. My sister and Mom are thrilled and I get kudos for a perfect birthday gift! Diane 10/1/11

I gave the vacuum to my son as a birthday gift, so I don't have any idea how it is going to work. He has two small children, so keeping the car clean is why I gave it to him,I hope it will performe as advertised, will see. Lamar Thiel

A bit more cumbersome than anticipated for working in tight areas; attachments must be seated tightly or they come loose; recommend purchasing the short hose as an option.

I bought this vacuum to clean my car when im not home. Very powerful sucks up everything the vacuum is made real well. It did not come with a hose had to buy one from store. The the dc plug broke after first use had to glue it and sand it back smooth. Cheap plug on the end and also the vacuum does not shut off when you press the button you have to hold he button it's always on when it's plugged in besides these minor flaws it's a good product and does the job

IF YOU EXPECT THIS TO DO THAT KIND OF WORK YOU ARE WAY OFF BASE. WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO IT DOES WELL. 2 WORDS IT SUCKS! AND VERY WELL AT THAT
