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

Is the bag of Cheetos open? Or untampered sealed condition? How many ounces? Family Size?

A bag of Cheetos is a powerful thing:

Guess that would be a upgrade for me from this......

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.
