Okay, I know these are cheap, but someone paid to get me one as a stocking stuffer, plus shipping. It's the most useless gadget I've ever seen. No vacuum whatsoever, I mean none, even with the "high power" button pressed. And the attachments fall off if you look at them too hard, let alone try to use them. Bad joke.

This is the most useless product ever created. It is a fan, there is no vacuum power whatsoever. The turbo button made the fan spin faster. The air from the van comes out of the vents supposedly designed to keep the gadget from overheating. Absolutely no vacuum, and the air from the fan doesn't even come out of the attachments so it cannot clean anything. Your laptop will be just as dirty after buying this "vacuum" as it was before you bought it. The light on it does work, but only illuminates the dirt in the laptop that it cannot clean.

bottom line - does not work. you plug it in, it makes a whirring noise. no vacuum!

The item was delivered in good condition, so no complaints there.

Also, when plugged in an turned on, it did make some noises that conjured up the image of a tiny, not-working model of a vacuum-cleaner.

So what am I complaining about? I guess I was hoping to receive a device that actually DOES catch some of the breadcrumbs and nasty fingernail tips lodged between my keys. Even a sucked up mote would have lifted my spirits - but alas! No such thing happened, and when I tried to turn it off, the switch broke.

So there's $11,90 I'll never see again (if you include shipping, that is). At least I can scare my cat with it...

I tried hooking this vacuum cleaner up to the USB hub that I ordered at the same time. It would not even start, which says more about the hub than the vacuum cleaner. Pushing the "turbo" button caused all the pretty lights on my USB hub to go out so long as I kept my finger on the button. I decided not to gimmick the USB hub with extra power to try and fix the problem.

After hooking the vacuum cleaner up to my netbook it worked fine, including the high speed button. Later I attached it to a monitor usb port at work and it was noticeably underpowered. Pushing the "turbo" button caused my monitor to stop working completely. Fortunately power cycling the monitor fixed that problem.

For all the laughter and fun I have had with this preposterous device, I strongly recommend not attaching it to any electronic device for which you have feelings.

The above reviewers are right. This thing simply does nothing. Got one as a stocking stuffer. It's going in the trash.

I got this as a stocking stuffer. I thought it was an awsome idea. How do you get in the little nooks and cranies of the keybord? And what better idea than power it with your own computer? No batteries, no power outlets... brilliant. NOT SO.
This product is useless. First of all, the attachments do not stay put. As soon as you try to use it, it falls appart. And the vacuum power... what vacuum? None whatsoever.
Do yourselves a favor and avoid this product!! It looks cute and it is cheap. It is also useless.

This product was broken when I got it and it has a good suction on it, but it doesn't work as well as the canned pressured air to clean a keyboard.

this product is truly waist of time 2 look at. you would do better with damp cloth 2 clean your computer. i quess you get what you pay for. i dont like the ideal they said its the vacuum cleaner/hoover for computers.do hoover know the using their name.

First this item came in a plastic bag. No info, no instructions. Second, it doesn't work at all. You might as well turn your keyboard upside down to get rid of the debris that would work a million times better. The vacuum has no suction wahtsoever. Very disappointed. Returning it shortly.
