Review on ๐Ÿ๏ธ Powerful Motorcycle Dryer: Metro Vacuum B3-CD Air Force Blaster 10-Amp 4-HP by Michael Burdette

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product. UPDATED

I couldn't decide between this model and the 8hp model. I didn't want to get the 4hp model and then be disappointed with the performance. I'm not disappointed at all. The blower has the power I need. I use it with extra nozzles to blow dust out of computers as opposed to those compressed gas canisters - it works great for that purpose. UPDATE: Haven't used it in a few years. Stored in a clean dry garage. I used it today and it released very little air. Nothing seemed obvious but I opened it up anyway and found a huge mess. Apparently the gasket that sealed the device had turned into a thick, black, sticky, tar-like substance. The pieces hit the impeller and the entire interior of the canister is covered. I've spent almost 3 hours using solvent to clean everything and I'm still not done. I'll probably spend 5-6 hours cleaning it up. So a word of wisdom, if MetroVac hasn't changed the material they use for that gasket, they change it regularly. It's cheap enough to replace, but once it gets sticky you'll have to clean the thing completely. I almost regret not having bought another one but this one has only been used a couple of times and they are seriously overpriced.
