Why Choose Metro® Blaster® Over "Garage Brands"

Because of the unprecedented success of Metro Blaster® brand motorcycle dryers, several “garage-brand” knock-offs have appeared on the market to try and cash in on the Blaster®reputation. These products are generally made of cheap plastic with motors that are not really powerful enough to quickly and efficiently dry a big bike. And, as you might expect, they come with a price tag that’s just “too good to be true”. The people who sell these knock-offs usually assemble and store them in their garages as a part-time business, hence the term “garage brand”.  Make no mistake. These are not the real deal you’ve read about and seen advertised on Speed TV (link to commercial) and in all your favorite motorcycle magazines. As they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Company is family owned and operated since 1939. Three generations of Stern family ownership have grown the company from a small Bronx, New York storefront into a multidivisional manufacturing corporation with a solid reputation for producing the highest quality American-made products, and backing them up with reliable, personalized service.

Unlike the “garage-made” knock-offs, Metro maintains a modern 32,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility overlooking historic Sideman’s Pass and the beautiful Ramapo Mts. of southern New York State. It’s here that Blaster® brand dryers are made to the strictest quality control standards and shipped to reputable motorcycle parts and accessory distributors worldwide. By leveraging these streamlined manufacturing and distribution efficiencies, Metro is able to provide you with a much higher quality motorcycle dryer at the lowest realistic price possible. You’ll also have peace of mind knowing that the Blaster® brand dryer you buy today is backed by a solid, American company that’s been in business for 70 years.
