Default Metro Vac 'n Blo: Any opinions?

I'm in need of a good car vaccum.
Anybody own the Metro Vac 'N Blo car vac?
Any other good compact units out there?
Thanks for any suggestions or comments.

Yes, I have that vac.

I like it a lot. It is small, very quiet, especially for the sucking power and came with lots of attachments.
My only gripe is the lack of any sort of stand or feet. I need to make something for it. It just sort of rolls around... They sell a roller stand for some crazy price but I really don't want it to roll.
I bought mine off of Amazon.com
Hope that helps!

+1 Excellent vac. I found mine on eBay a couple years back, and love it. It is powerful as all get out, but as mentioned is a bit cumbersome to keep in place.

Not inexpensive, that's why I went eBay. I think around $150.

I have one and like it very much. It comes with all of the attachments needed for working around seats etc. Be sure to order the version with wheels unless you plan to wall mount it.

I was considering that unit, but went with a wall mounted central vacuum unit instead.
Hose is long enough to service any car in the garage, large capacity, lots of suction, large tool assortment, easy to get parts/service (although unit has lifetime warranty).
