I do not, but have used a couple of them and really liked the Durable feel that they had to them, I kinda do wish I owned one. |

I really want one but a store in dallas sells them. But at 600 dollars which i don't find to be that bad. But the dusting brush looks cheap and so do the bags |

I own the stainless steel Metropolitan with the direct connect wands and hose handle, power nozzle with steel brush roller. The exhaust port blows things around, the exhaust stream is not deflected. Just a tremendous blast. No post motor filter so carbon dust escapes. The HEPA filter is in front of the motor. The bags filter very well, they offer both paper or HEPA cloth disposable bags. The wheels do not swivel, it's somewhat more difficult to pull around than, say, a Royal Power Tank that has swiveling front casters. Metropolitan started life in Suffern, NY, to rebuilt the thousands of Electrolux model 12 and 30's traded in by Hoover dealers. They were known for their Lux rebuilt vacuums until the mid 80's. All the tools, wands, nozzles, hoses, etc. are 'fit all' type available to most any vac shop. No storage for the tools on-board. Cord wrap halo has a somewhat sharp edge - got a nasty cut from mine. On the plus side, they are very powerful, with a dual stage "lamb" type motor. Nice vacuum, but very basic.

Odd choices for their standard vs deluxe power nozzles, though - aren't the Wessel Werk nozzles usually thought of as better than Centec, on the whole? |

The Air-Tec Black Knight also comes with the metal Air-Way attatcha-carrier and METAL bare floor tool and rug tool. They ARE Air-Way attachments through and through. Even Air-Way bags fit the Black Knight (and vice versa). I love the Black Knight, have had one for almost 4 years (green one with 9 foot hose and Wessel Werks deluxe power nozzle). I love it. It's worth every penny of its price.
