I tried it, even though it was one of the most powerful I wasn’t satisfied and I went back to my good trusty air compressor…

I’m not sure which particular one I have, but it works pretty well, though mine looks a bit higher-end than that one, so you may want to look for something nicer if you want good results

I love mine, sounds like i am one of the rare folks here that doesn’t have a complete workshop with a full air compressor setup

Electric powered ones are good. Battery powered ones are weak.

I have a CompuCleaner electric duster and it’s great, more than enough power and it comes with several accessories.

Save yourself 24 dollars and use a soft paintbrush.

I bought one similar, it is actually quiet strong and came with a bunch of nose cones.

I just use hair dryer of my wife when she doesn’t see that. Vacuum cleaner+hair dryer=clean pc in a 5 minutes.
But once a few monthes I give it nice proper cleaning.

Yes actually at least the good ones.
I use them at work all the time to clean stuff under the microscope.

One of my coworkers bought one for the electronics lab, I used it once and set it down, walked swiftly back over to the canned air and never looked back.

Good? Yes.
Amazing? No. Get a corded one.

Do yourself a favor and buy a DataVac. They are pricey, but those cans add up fast.

If you’re going to get an electric air duster make sure it’s anti static!

They’re okay. The ones that have the rechargeable batteries though. Once those batteries die on some models it can be really hard to find a replacement battery. I had one of those really popular ones that recharged. I can’t recall the name of it but it was blue if that jogs anyone’s memory it’s battery died very quickly and I had bought a new. I was very disappointed and after going back and reading some reviews a lot of people had this same issue. I have this thing called a sinshine lol. Terrible name but it plugs in. It’s a little bit bigger and it’s phenomenal

I use a 200 watt mattress blower to be honest. It’s cheaper than constantly buying canned air but it still packs a lot of power. Also, unlike canned air, it cannot release any liquid, and it’s also not powerful enough to blow off any capacitors like a compressor can.

Noooooooooo get the Xpower duster from Micro Center you’ll never need another can of air or some Chinese BS like this from Amazon. The only duster you’ll ever need. I promise thank me later.
Just get a hand held vacuum. These just push the dust around. They are worthless.

I have a plug in one. It’s amazing. It’s like a little leaf blower. I actually use it in my garage to blow sawdust off of stuff. It was like 80$ though
BlackberryNew2838
I’ve been using a $30 one from Amazon for over a year, cleaning my pc once every two months and keyboard every couple weeks and my shit is pristine.
So yea, they are great. You don’t need some stupid expensive thing for it or compressed air. These are so underrated. 👍👍
I have this one. Power kinda sucks no pun intended
DinkleButtstein23
No, they’re complete bullshit.

Just use a leaf blower, it’s what I do

Go pickup a DataVac. They’re on the expensive side; but, you will never have to buy another “solution”.

The ones that are powered straight from an outlet are nice! I got one recently as a gift and it made it so easy to clean my PC case dust filter thoroughly.
I recommend getting one that DOES NOT have a battery. Wired ones are good for the consistent power
