After a recommendation within my Detailing Kit thread, I bought the vacuum/blower combo from Auto Obsessed in Edmonton.
Shipping was prompt but one of the attachments came in cracked upon shipment. I emailed them but no reply yet; sad.
Its not a big deal as there are others but I'd like to get a replacement.
Initial thoughts of the product:
For something of this size, its quite powerful as a vacuum but as a blower, its adequate. Its enough to get the Golf less dry but you still need a quick wipedown. Its just faster and easier this way.
The bag is small because after one run at the Golf, I filled it with gravel and dirt. Thanks, winter.
The attachments are plentiful, especially the small detail kit. I like that set because it cleans the little nooks and crannies, such as the seat wedges.
The scrubber attachment isn't that great; too soft bristles. It "wipes" rather than "scrubs".
I found the hose a tad short, especially when drying off the roof.
It gets hot after a while so I'd recommend to let it cool once in a while.
Other than that, its a good buy for $200!
