Metro Vacuum DV3ESD1 DataVac/3 ESD Anti-Static 1.7-HP Vacuum/Blower with Hepa Filter, Black

First off let may tell all that read this that at the time of this review the picture is sightly incorrect. There are no extension tubes (why would you want them anyhow) and the is no flat attachment. What you do get: (1) DataVac 3 (two speed) - really good power cord (rubber not plastic) (1) Rubber (not plastic hose) (1) A long nozzle attachment (1) Bruch attachment (very soft) (1) Really great micro long reach attachment (1) Extra Foam filter (1) Extra Bad (Buy more trust me) (1) Awesome quality anti-static wrist unit with extra long cord (USA Quality) (1) Great Padded carry bag with plenty of extra space. OK now for the realty check for the nay sayers. This is a COMPUTER AND SERVER vacuum. Not a car detailing vacuum or pet hair cleaning vacuum. Just computers and servers and guess what it does an amazing job. Also if you can not figure out how to use a vacuum as simple as this one...well maybe you should not buy it. Seriously it is per-assembled - plug in and use. You can open it and well to replace the bag is kind of like; Remove old bag, slip in new bag...um that is kind of it. Not much more to do really. You can look at it for a while, I prefer to just close it back up after that. Now I own Occams Razor Security and we do a lot of server work. Today I was at a client working on a SCO Unix Conversion and we needed to clean a server which lets just say has not been opened let alone cleaned for around 20 years. Yep one of those servers. The kind where the dust bunnies are more like really mad, haven't been fed for years, bite your head off dust bunnies. Well the DataVac 3 cleaned so well, the client was literally speechless, they wanted to know where to get one. Suffice it to say the price tag kind of gave them a reality check in that area. Also Notice the word "Rubber" in the parts description this means reduces the likely hood of static discharge Metal grounded case with wrist strap you can clip to metal connectors on handle. Hmmmm, more anti-static safety. Look this is not a cheap machine, we use them a lot! At ORS we always offer system cleaning as a value added service. So DataVac is the only way to go for us. Look at it this way our clients trust us to keep their systems running in top condition and I do not want to hear a client say my mother board got fried when you vacuumed out our system. So we only use DataVac and nothing else. Think your vacuum does not generate static electricity go nuts and vacuum your home system it is like playing Russian runlet with your system, maybe it will survive. Me I have seen to many systems go bye bye do to normal vacuums and computer motherboards. The Data Vac 3 ESD unit meets Government Specifications for static discharge protection and it is a quality machine made in the USA. No cheap parts found here. It is built like a tank and I know that myself or an associate going out to a client will never have to worry about the DataVac working. You want need a quality computer or server vacuum look no further, you want to complain about attachments that are not needed, get another vacuum. This one is for professionals and it is well worth the money.

I ordered three wrong types of vacuums (all my fault for not reading more about product). Finally this is the vacuum I need for my purposes. I can now safely vacuum out my electronics and have no worries of ESD issues. I used it on my PC and there were a lot of dust bunnies because of not being able to vacuum out safely. My PC was starting to shut down on its own because of the dust build up inside. Now it does not shut down on it's own and the performance is back to normal. I work in the IT field and this little vacuum will come in very handy in my job too. If you are looking for a ESD vacuum that is not an outrageous price, this is the vac/blower for you. The bags show that it can be used for toner, but not sure if it is safe to use to vacuum up toner. When I get an answer I will update my review. I also have a bathroom vent that I had to use Q-tips to clean the dust build up and it took forever. I used the large round brush and had the vent cleaned in about 2 minutes. I also have box fans in the house and trying to get the dust from all those little squares is a terrible chore. I took just a couple of minutes, it took more time getting the fan screws out to get to the motor. This little vacuum is a god send, thank you Metro vac for making it affordable enough for me!!!!

This is a good product and will get the job done however, I found the cord a little too short and the price to be too high for this item. The duffle bag that comes with it was different story, It was very nice, heavy duty and very good quality, I may use it for travel luggage it was so nice. The storage bag made the item worth the money.

I'm not really sure how effective the ESD feature really is, it seems like a gimmick tbh. The hose is very heavy and well built. The unit is fairly well built but I just think they should have installed a larger motor as it gets hot quite quickly. Running on Low will generally do the job and keep it from getting too hot. Anyhow, I have cleaned many machines with this and it works well and I would recommend them to friends.

Great product. It has a powerful motor which creates a powerful blast of air. My favorite thing is to see the plumes of dust that are released when you blow directly at a computer power supply (do this outdoors please). I clean lots of computers and this is just perfect for the job, leaving them looking like new and prolonging the life of the computer by removing dust that acts like a thermal insulator which causes components to get hotter and fail sooner.

This vacuum is great for getting the dust out of PC's. I was using so much canned air that I decided to use this vacuum and have no regrets. It is fairly quiet and gets the job done. Highly recommended.

This vacuum is outstanding. I have been using it to clean up workstations and servers at my office and does it the job. It is also quiet.

Used to clean multiple desk top computers and a couple of servers. Works great with good suction and correspondingly good blower air volume. Only downside I have seen so far (and it a minor issue) is that the unit does get warm after about 5 to 10 minutes on HI setting and you will notice this if you are using the shoulder strap and the unit is resting against your body. The black finish is top notch and it would be nice if the canister had feet so that it would not roll around when you put the unit down (dam shame to scratch the finish). Overall the unit has fulfilled my requirements.

Works great for my needs, very Happy with it.

The vacuum is good, I just didn't like not knowing when I purchased it on Amazon .ca that the unit was being shipped from the US

Good quality vacuumn.
