Default Vacuum

alright i have the orek ironman, it's very powerful, and seems to be the best vacuum i have yet to use for detailing cars. Unfortunately it sucked up water and i have to replace the motor. I decided rather than paying $115 for a new motor, it's time for a upgrade. I am stuck between getting the new ironman for $300 or getting the metro vac n blow ( one autogeek sells) for $200. any input would be helpful.

I like my Vac n' Blow, it's very compact and comes with a great selection of tools. My recommendation would be to get the extended hose and the dolly to go along with it. I haven't used the ironman nor do I know the specifications on it, so obviously my opinion has to be a little biased.

The Metro Vac n Blow rocks. Lots of attachments to get at dirt in all of those hiding places. Very powerful too.

Cool

Although discouraging on what happened to your orek. Sounds to me that you were very happy with it. Anything that makes you happy!!!
