Minor scuff on the body. Does not affect performance and looks like it can be removed with a finishing polish.

Can parts be purchased separately, I have a MB already that I got from you guys but a 30Ft hose would be so much better.

Smart man.

If I was thinking I would have done the same!

The 30ft hose can be purchased separately directly from Metro, but @ $75 it doesn't seem worth it:

I was pretty shocked when I saw the $75 price tag. I figured it would be around $30.

I've read about people having mixed success using pool hoses as a cheaper alternative:

PM me your best "gotta get this out the door" price. Then I have to balance it against being able to supply 19amps to it which seems to be a common issue that's caused a lot to get rid of these. At the right price I'll deal with it. Has the wall bracket correct?

Thanks.
 
I have the wall bracket, it just a few bucks and it did not come with mine.

That should not be a deal breaker.

I have to have my outlet upgraded or the breaker kept popping. That wasn't the biggest deal either, just waited for a electrician to be in the house doing other stuff and added that to the list.

Yeah, that part is going to be a slippery slope for me. I have a shortage of outlets in the shop so pulling circuits in isn't going to be just one. And to put too many means the house service needs to be upgraded. Arrgh. Decisions Decisions.
 
I too bought the wall bracket separately and don't regret spending the extra $ on it. Still IMO for the $$$ price Metro should have include it.

I already had a 20amp outlet in my garage so using the Master Blaster every so often isn't that big of an issue. I do however want to upgrade the circuit to a 30amp line because at full force w/ the MB drawling 19amps exceeds the maximum load a 20 amp circuit should ever see per code. For those who aren't aware, the National Electrical Code specify that a circuit breaker shouldn't handle more than 80 percent of the load for which it is rated unless the breaker is labeled otherwise. By this standard, the total current draw on a 20-amp circuit shouldn't exceed 16 amps. This allows the breaker to handle the temporary surge that happens when an appliance such as a power saw or air conditioner starts up.

Lucky for me I have 2 electricians in the family so upgrading the circuit and everything else downstream isn't going to be that hard.

Guys, these will operate a less powerful draw. Provided you have a smart system regulating it. My Roboreel limits it to 15 amps, I can actually the power difference but it's only when I can't reach stuff. Otherwise I have a dedicated 20 amp.
 
I had a longer hose with adapter to connect to the original hose and it was for me, a pain to use..
This hose is heavy and wants to go where it wants to go so you have to mind that..

I install my own 20amp circuit breaker, run 12awg wire to a 20amp receptacle, and run that bad boy all day and have never had an issue tripping the breaker.
Always use new beige wire nuts as well..

I found it easier to put the M/Blaster on one of my rolling carts, use the original length hose, and use a longer 12awg extension cord..
Just roll the machine around with you and less heavy stuff to deal with..

Dear Friends

Y'all should have a paw-in-law who's as awesome as mine. I never had an issue with tripping breakers, but I told him it was a common complaint about the Blaster, so he installed two dedicated 20-amp double outlets in our garage. He is blind in one eye, but apparently he sees quite well out of the other. I've known him for twenty-five years and I bet I've seen him install at least fifty outlets in our homes and in his second home and rental properties.

The man didn't even charge me for the parts or materials.

Soon he's going to put new rotors and pads on the front wheels of our van. He mows our grass every couple of weeks and fixes anything that breaks. We live five driveways from him and my mother-in-law.

He had water get in his fancy two-story garage and wanted to borrow our tiny 1.5-gallon Shop Vac to vacuum it up since his Shop Vac was at his other home. I let him borrow the Blaster, too, and he found it much more effective than the Shop Vac. He said that water headed for the yard when he put the Blaster on it.
 
Do most normally run the master blaster at full power.. Both motors switches on? Or do you actually use it at half power sometimes?
