Metro ED500 DataVac 500-Watt 120 volt 0.75-HP Electric Blower Duster -corded|bagless, White

After hearing about this blower in passing on a computer forum, I finally thought I'd pick one up and give it a try after using canned compressed air since well, forever.What shipped in was a product reminiscent of a vacuum, except for the fact that it doesn't suck up dust - it only blows it around. But when I say blows it around, I am certain it's far more powerful than any household full size vacuum I've ever tried!The end goal for me purchasing this was to simply keep my computer dust-free. Since I rebuilt a system with many intake fans, it's only a few days / couple of weeks until dust is visible on the front grille housing and as everyone knows, a dusty computer looks bad and is bad for components, so I wanted to see what this little thing could do.Let's just say that it blows enough air to charge the capacitors in my LED fans (normally ~1,500 RPM speed) and has them glow at almost 50% brightness just from the air movement alone. It's literally a few flicks of the wrist and the system is cleaned. What of course is behind and stubborn can be wiped away with a cloth and cleaning solution, but for all those vents, heatsink covers, and other hard to reach areas where access is hard or impossible by hand, this blower works great.Tested it on a Kill-A-Watt and it pulls about 550 watts alone - almost as much as a space heater on low settings. It's NOT quiet but that's because it's simply that powerful. I imagine anyone owning a woodshop would find this very useful. It's just too bad that I've not had more uses for it so far. Quality is a solid steel canister with thick cables. It's heavy, solid, and well built and I expect it to easily last the 5 years+ that the motor is warranted for. For previously never being interested in needing to spend cash on a blower like this, Metro has certainly made me happy to own their product. A+.I can't think of anything needing to be blown household-wise where this blower would have no effect. Other reviews are correct - if you have loose papers around this thing, expect them to find the nearest wall pronto as this blower will easily move them. It's not cheap, but you certainly (IMO) get what you pay for. Not used the little accessory tools aside from the one cone-shaped funnel for a little air focus and either with a tool or without, the DataVac works great.

This is a fantastic little air duster. I've been on the fence about getting one of these for the last few years and finally decided to get one as my last can of air ran out. I wish I would have gotten one sooner.The device is a bit smaller than I expected, but don't let that fool you: this thing has more than enough power, even without any of the attachments, to clear dust out of darn near everything. I typically just use the attachment shown in use in all the listing images, but it comes with about a half dozen other various attachments that you could use if you desired. The one shown in all the pictures concentrates and directs the air very well for dusting PCs and keyboards.The unit is a bit noisy while in operation, but trust me, you don't want to be doing this indoors anyway. After a solid 5 - 10 minutes of use, the unit does get warm to the touch, but I'm being a bit anal about how dust-free my computer is before I call it all clean. The instructions mention that after prolonged use the unit may get warm to the touch and say that this is completely normal and to simply allow the device to cool before using again.As I said before, I wish I had bought this unit sooner. There are a few things that really make this thing worth the money. First, this unit was made in the USA. Second, do you know that feeling you have with a can of air where you think "Well, this component could be a bit cleaner, but this can is almost empty and I still have the rest of the computer to dust"? It's such a liberating feeling to not have to worry about that and to dust to your heart's content. Third is that I'll never have to pay $10 bucks for a two pack of canned air (really, canned chemicals that come out under high pressure) again, nor will their waste be consuming space in a landfill.If you have the money, pick this gem up. You won't be disappointed.

Hi Guys,1st off I RARELY do reviews. Mainly because anything that needs to be said have already been said about most products and 2 I am lazy. So if I am getting off to do a review on a product I am really happy about it :).So..1st off this please stop spending money on air duster cans! Stop now!This is a fantastic product! If you're like me and have a gazillion electronics equipment this is a must have!! It works as intended the various plug-ins that came with this product will full-fill all of our needs. The blower is strong and powerful. The blower is so powerful it tends to vent from the sides (AS INTENDED), please don't be alarmed by it. I was able to clean my laptop, gaming system, behind tv, radio, desktop and various other equipments.Pro-Power blower!-Various plug-ins provided-For ~$50 this is a steal seeing how air dusters cost around ~$4-$5 if not more, I do believe the price will increase on this product so grab it while you can.-Replaceable foam underneath that can be replaced if the intake portion becomes dirty-1 year warranty on the overall device (please register your product on their website)-5 year motor warranty!-MFG/QA date provided!-Long extension cord-Steel built-Small/portable-GREEN!Cons-LOUD! Yes it is very loud.-Runs warm at times (not hot...warm)Final WordOne of the biggest small detail that made me happy was that a QA/MFG sticker was provided and I was delighted to see that mine had a sticker of Dec 2013. Which means that it's not a product that has been sitting in the warehouse for months then it got shipped. I am really satisfied with this product and if this lasts me even for only 1 year it would already pay itself off seeing how much I used to spend on duster cans.Thank you Metro for this fantastic product!
