You may have purchased a 120-volt product and are running at 220-240 volts. We do indeed manufacture 220-240 volt units that are suitable for use in your country. We don’t recommend the use of transformers. You would need a new motor and new cord. By the time you get done with the cost of the components and shipping costs you may be better off ordering a NEW correct 220-240-volt product from one of our suppliers.

Every product we ship has a date code on it (usually on the bottom) indicating month and year it was built.

As the manufacturer we don’t compete on price with our resellers.

Each products warranty information can be found on the product page.

We no longer register products.  If there is an issue with your machine, we will use the date code stamp on the machine, or your original purchase receipt.

Proposition 65 (Prop 65) is the original name for the initiative that became California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. This law was enacted directly by California’s voters when it appeared as an initiative on an election ballot. The law is administered by OEHHA, which is a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA).

Information about Proposition 65 can be found in full using this link https://www.americanchemistry.com/industry-groups/high-phthalates/regulatory-reviews/proposition-65

For substances that are listed as causing cancer, the “safe harbor” level is called a “no significant risk".

If someone has 110 volts available, even with a long extension cord the VM4S500 is the way to go. Nothing beats the 500 watts of power that it offers with the exception of the 4.0 Peak HP VAC N BLO. Bottom line, I still push 110 volts over 12 volts. The 12 volt AM4SB comes in handy when 110-volt AC outlets are just not available (apartment/condo owners). As 12-volt cigarette lighter adaptor models go, this is the best. The vacs look identical with the exception of the motor and cord. VM is 110 volt and AM series is 12-volt. Both models also have the same MSRP.

Master Blaster is the most powerful car dryer we manufacture and will dry most cars in 15 minutes or less without using a towel, chamois or microfiber. https://metrovac.com/products/air-force-master-blaster

The cloth bag should be used in conjunction with the paper bag. You don’t necessarily have to use the paper bags although it is a lot more sanitary to dispose of the paper bags than to “shake out the dirt” from the cloth bag. We also recommend that you continue using the 3 ply paper bags which helps prevent dust from entering the motor end environment.

To maximize the blowing power; remove the front end cap and cloth bag, leave the foam filter in place and leave it wide open. Do not replace the front end cap. The VAC N BLO is designed to blow water out of hard to reach inaccessible areas of your vehicle. It is not capable of drying your entire car. You'd need the master blaster for that.

The Vac N Blo is a phenomenal vacuum cleaner for detailing your car. The compact size and awesome suction power makes quick work of cleaning carpeting and upholstery. The blower feature on the Vac N Blo will certainly clear water from door jambs, seams, and other hard to reach areas. If you want to dry an entire car in 15 minutes or less I would recommend the Master Blaster. You can see it in action here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZHho9Bdxg

The Master Blaster features two twin fan 4.0 Peak Horse-power motors capable of delivering up to 58,000 feet-per-minute of clean, dry, warm, filtered air! Each motor is controlled by a separate switch that allows you to select from three different airflow and temperature levels up to 60º above ambient. If you use ONLY the FRONT motor, you’ll get one level of blowing power and heat. If you use ONLY the BACK motor, you’ll get another level of blowing power and heat. The truth is that these two scenarios above (of operating one motor at a time) are not really dramatically different.

You can use the front independently or the rear, it doesn’t make a difference.  If using only one motor, we recommend switching between the two motors for even carbon brush wear.

The heat produced is directly related to the temperature that the unit is being used in. If it's a really hot day, it'll get real hot. If it's 65, you'll get maybe 115-125, or so.

Unscrew the hose cuff off clockwise; Cut 1” off the raw spiral hose; Screw the cuff on counterclockwise.

Occasionally, we will receive calls from users saying that their MASTER BLASTER & BLASTER HOSE is defective. 99.99% of the time it is not. We don’t glue one of the hose ends on the 10 or 30-foot hose to provide greater flexibility in adjusting the air flow. There are times that the hose end will come “unscrewed”. It can be screwed back on counterclockwise.The hose is not defective. The hose end came off.

Due to the tremendous velocity of air produced by our products, you may experience some air venting by the seams, this is completely normal and helps keep the unit running efficiently.

The power control slide located on the hose end can be used to reduce suction or blowing power.

Our units have been known to run hot. It is completely normal, however, if the heat is excessive, please call customer service, 800-822-1602. You always need to make sure that the dust bag is not too full and the filter is clean.

Filters should be changed when dirty or monthly. Bags should be changed when full or a drop in suction. Carbon brushes should be changed ideally every 500 hours of use.
