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

More effective than I had expected; great for CPU fans and keyboards providing you use it outside due to the amount of dust etc that enters the atmosphere. It scores over an aerosol based air duster in many ways not least of which there is no risk of liquid coming out of the nozzle.It does get warm in operation, but I have never needed to use it for more than 30sec at a go. Beware the starting torque of the 500W motor can result in you dropping it if you are not gripping the handle tightly.A bit pricey, but then again a good quality canned air duster can set you back £15 and not last very long.

They forgot to mention it's built to US spec and in order to work in UK needs a step up converter.Works well with this:  Goldsource ST-500 500 Watt Step Down/Up Voltage Converter If I was aware of this I'd go for the more expensive but with a built in converter  Datavac Electric Duster ED-500 220-240V I feel a bit disappointed some important information was not displayed!Anyways, this is awesome! Fantastic for mac pro - all fans, macbook pro, and for imac, even xbox, and anything you can think of!

I don't know how I got by without this! For the person who works with computers on a regular basis, this is a must have item!. Excellent service with very speedy delivery!

nice

After looking online for this item, I saw this product, It was slightly cheaper than another version, but now I realised that's because it's 120v and has a US plug. It wasn't the suppliers fault, it was mine, but thought I would write a review so others don't make the same mistake. Arrived very quickly though.

When i plug it in power socket item has been switched on by default! when motor start working item felt down on concrete floor Causing damage to the item. Leaving dent on a surface.

Background:I got tired of buying compressed air cans for 3 reasons 1) do not pack punch, 2) sinking costs of attritional material as you keep using them and 3) add waste as we don't know if the local waste company just dumps them into a landfill or recycles.I read a lot of reviews of this baby, and at $60.00 price could not beat the fact that money would be recovered before the 5-year warranty expires from not buying the air cans. I have now used this tiny sucker for over 9 years and it is still running like it was brand new.The Good:1. Solid build quality. This thing is like an iron brick. Other than the plastic handle, everything else seems to be metal. Robust metal casing with good fixtures connecting and holding the unit tight. Even the original box that it came in feels very well made and heavy duty. The paint job on the can feels professionally done.2. Awesome power. Depending on the connector you use, this thing generates a healthy dose of power. It can really get into the nooks and crannies of mechanical, electrical or computer devices without running out of steam. The air feels like coming from a miniature jet engine.3. Plethora of Connectors. Depending on your usage you can use the 5 supplied connectors to really blow things off.4. Made in the USA - "Because it Matters" that's the company tagline.5. Nice detail showing the date of manufacture.6. Ergonomic Handle, which lets you not feel tired from extended use.Cons: While not really cons, I would consider them as improvements.1. It would be good to have a cord zip tie to keep the power cord together. I am using a Velcro strap.2. A small diameter tube, equivalent to the can air canisters would be a nice addition.3. Heat. The unit can get hot upon frequent use, so it would be good to be safe while holding it.4. Loudness. I am on fence, to have a powerful system the motor will emit loud noise, but I wonder a little sound deadening can help to damp the noise. But such deadening can also create a heat retention cloak preventing proper heat dissipation.Bottom-line:If you need to buy it, do not worry and pull the trigger. It is a good device. It will probably outlast you. Also, it supports US manufacturing, even if it is a little pricey, but the amount of money it has saved me by not using the cans, it has paid itself three times over. Also, it indirectly saves more money by not filling the landfills faster and causing your taxes to go up.

Antes de adquirirlo consulté varias reseñas y en todas se habla bien de éste producto. Esperaba un buen producto, sin embargo me sorprendió la excelente calidad en los materiales y en la pintura del mismo. Mucho más potente (aunque un poco ruidoso) que las latas de aire comprimido. Se siente robusto y resistente. Contiene un kit de accesorios para limpieza de precisión. El único detalle en contra es que puede calentarse un poco después de algunos minutos de uso, pero por la potencia que tiene dudo que se utilice por más de 90 segundos. Es un producto altamente recomendable si eres técnico de computadoras o das mantenimiento a gadgets y equipo electrónico. Si lo adquieres no te arrepentirás, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Un must have pour dépoussiérer son boitier ou tout autre périphérique, LA PUISSANCE que dégage l'appareil est assez impressionnante surtout lorsque l'on mets les embouts concentrateur, j'ai dû l'utiliser seulement deux fois en un an pour mon pc, quelques minutes suffisent attention à bien être à l'extérieur pour le nettoyage car ça dégage un max type nuage de poussière noire.Redoutablement efficace donc et bien supérieur à l'air comprimé en bouteille. Un très bon investissement donc pour tout les desktop enthusiast qui veulent maintenir leur machines ultra clean. Je note 5/5, aucun défaut même le prix est abordable, indispensable également si vous bossez en atelier pour exemple.

過去の購入品の中で一番の商品です。Amazonはよく利用しますが、これ程満足した商品はありませんでした。正直、あまり期待はしてなかったのですが風量、取扱、 どれをとっても最高でした。他の方達のレビューでも満足度が高かったですが、実際自分が使用してみてこれほどとは思いもしませんでした。

If you've ever tried to clean out your PC using compressed air canisters, you know how expensive they can be, and how annoying to use. Whether it's holding them perfectly upright so you don't get any liquid coming out, or losing the straw and not being able to reach the crevices you need to clean, they always seem to cause problems. This electric duster, while expensive for a one time purchase, will quickly reveal itself to be a money-saving and extremely useful device to have around the house, particularly if you have a decent computer that you want to treat properly.Here is a breakdown of the pros and few cons of the MetrovAC 500 Watt Electric Duster:Pros- Powerful and effective: This device has a strong little motor that blows a lot of clean, dry air with a surprising amount of force. Compared to a compressed air canister, which starts out strong and then weakens as you use it, the Electric Duster is an air moving powerhouse that doesn't let up. Just point it at the dust and crumbs you want to eliminate, turn it on, and watch them fly. It takes about 20 seconds to thoroughly clean out the interior of a dusty computer tower, compared to the couple of minutes it sometimes takes with canned air.- Multiple uses: In addition to cleaning out my computer, I've also found it to be useful for cleaning the air filters in my car and the air purifier I have in my home, greatly extending the life of filters that cost quite a lot of money to replace. Any other sort of gizmo or household object that collects dust but is difficult to clean is also fair game for the duster. For example, I've used it to clean camera components, window screens, the interior of my subwoofer, the handle frames of my folding knives, and blowing dust off a fake Christmas tree that was stored under the stairs.- Useful attachments: The Duster comes with several attachments that can be useful depending on your task at hand. For me, I've found that the nozzle that narrows to the tip is perfectly adequate for most jobs, though the crevice tool and small cleaning heads are good for cleaning out my mechanical keyboard.- Ergonomics and design: Although it may not be the coolest looking device on the market, its design is simple and effective. The handle is large and firm, giving you excellent control over where the duster is pointed. It also has a very long cord, about 10 feet by my estimate, which is long enough to reach many outlets but not too long that it becomes cumbersome when using or storing. The base of the unit also has 3 solid plastic feet which keep it upright and level on flat surfaces, as well as providing airflow into the bottom of the unit through the air filter. When you set the duster down, you know it will stay there.Cons and caveats- Hot hot heat: Okay, this shouldn't be surprising, based on the power this duster has, but the unit itself gets quite hot after prolonged use. Admittedly, most jobs shouldn't take that long, but if you've got a particularly tough dusting job, you'll need to be careful not to touch the metal sides of the duster. Thankfully, the handle is large enough that it shouldn't be a problem, and you won't get serious burns even if you do touch the metal, but you should still be cautious, and definitely don't let children use it as a toy.- Ow, my freaking ears: Speaking of this duster's power, it's motor gets surprisingly loud. Using it in a small indoor area for a significant length of time is not recommended unless you have earplugs or are like my dad and don't care about your hearing. It's not quite as bad as standing beside a central vacuum unit on full blast, but because you're generally holding it closer to your head you need to be careful. Using it outside is not quite as much of a concern. Which brings me to my final point.- USE IT OUTSIDE: Okay, this bad boy gets the job done, but unless you want to spend more time cleaning up the dirt you've blown out, you need to use this outside on a deck or porch, or in a workshop that it is already dirty. It may take a little extra work tracking down an extension cord or lugging your massive gaming PC onto the deck, but you really need to do so in order to fully utilize the power of this device. Because it is so powerful, you also need to be careful with delicate components, so always hold it far away at first and bring it closer if required. You properly won't blast components off your motherboard, but use good judgment when dealing with expensive or fragile devices. In a perfect world, the duster would have two settings, one high and one low for more delicate jobs, but as it is you should have no trouble adjusting distance and power as needed.Ultimately, I feel that these few concerns are easily outweighed by the positive aspects of the Electric Duster. Whether you're looking to clean out your brand new PC or blast the dust out of every crevice and cranny in your home, car, or office, the MetrovAC 500 watt Electric Duster will get the job done. Just remember to handle it with care, and protect your ears, and you'll be good to go.
