MetroVac: Over 80 Years of American-Made Cleaning Innovation
MetroVac — short for Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Company — has been a family-owned American manufacturer since 1939. What began as a door-to-door vacuum sales operation has grown into one of the most respected names in high-performance vacuums, air blowers, and electric dusters, with every product engineered and assembled in the United States.
The Stern family has guided MetroVac through four generations of innovation. In 1957, the company introduced the first 110-volt handheld vacuum cleaner, and by 1964 it had developed the first 12-volt automotive handheld vacuum designed to plug directly into a car's cigarette lighter. In 1970, MetroVac unveiled the Metro Duo-Volt — still the world's only dual-voltage handheld vacuum capable of operating in both home and automotive settings. These milestones reflect a brand culture built on engineering firsts rather than following trends.
A Product Line Built for Real-World Demands
Today, MetroVac's catalog spans multiple industries and use cases. Their automotive lineup — including the legendary Air Force Master Blaster and the versatile Vac N Blo series — is a staple in professional detailing shops and home garages alike. These machines are built with rugged all-steel construction and powerful motors capable of drying a full-size vehicle, blowing out interior vents, or tackling crevices that traditional vacuums simply can't reach.
Beyond the garage, MetroVac's DataVac line brought the same industrial engineering philosophy to computer and electronics cleaning, offering a powerful, environmentally responsible alternative to disposable canned air. The Magic Air division rounds out the portfolio with high-volume electric inflators and deflators popular with boaters, campers, and anyone who needs fast, reliable air-pumping capability in the field.
For pet owners and professional groomers, the Air Force pet dryer line became a dominant force in its own right — delivering professional-grade results for dogs of all sizes, with worldwide distribution backing its reputation.
Why MetroVac Stands Apart
What distinguishes MetroVac from competitors is the combination of genuine American manufacturing, multi-generational craftsmanship, and a product range that actually solves problems across vastly different environments — from the automotive bay to the grooming table to the marine deck. Their machines are designed to last years, not seasons, with replacement parts and accessories readily available to keep equipment running at full performance long after purchase.
For automotive enthusiasts and professional detailers, MetroVac's air compressor and blower tools represent some of the most capable and durable air-moving equipment on the market — purpose-built machines that deliver consistent, high-volume airflow for drying, dusting, and detailing without the bulk or complexity of traditional compressor systems.
