Right out of the box, you can feel the quality of this duster. Rock solid construction that has a good heft in the hand, nice long shop-worthy power cord (~11ft), and the air output is just ridiculous with the bigger nozzles it comes with. Blew everything loose right off my desk. If you're on the fence about it, buy one. I don't regret it one bit.

Possible Fire Hazard - Defective Units

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

Just a quick review to let people know of possible defective units out there being sold. The unit I got worked for 3 minutes, then caught fire at the outlet, due to what an electrician I called out said was from a faulty connection at the unit where the power cord is connected through to the blower motor. While using it and seeing it spark and catch fire, I was shocked a total of 3 times trying to pull it out. Luckily for me, I caught it in time, and the fire was minor, just a couple of small flames, that I was able to blow out once disconnected. Contacted the company and sent pictures, Amazon refunded me and I sent the item back. Maybe I got a bad unit, maybe there are others out there, not sure, but hopefully, the company does look into this, as this could have been worse than what it was, other than having a burnt outlet and electrian bill due to this product!

Long Review! Also... It's A Duster. Not A Vacuum. It Blows & It Doesn't Suck! LOL!

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Where do I begin with this thing? To say that it's saved me a ton of money on canned air is an understatement. I've blown out so many desktop computers with this thing it's not funny!

The basics:

1. It's a very high velocity air duster so make sure you secure any system fans from freely spinning. If you don't then you'll do what I did & burn out your fan bearings when they spin violently.

2. MAKE SURE YOU USE THIS OUTSIDE! I made the mistake of cleaning my desktop indoors once & a huge cloud of PC dust blasted me in the face. I'll never do that again...

3. There is a small foam filter on the bottom. Make sure you clean that often since the dust you blow out of your desktop will get sucked up into the filter. It's easy to clean BTW.

4. This also functions as a small porch blower! LOL! Seriously... I've used this on my back porch to blow loose dry leaves off of my back porch & it did well. :D

5. DO NOT USE THIS ON LAPTOP HEATSINK EXHAUSTS!!! This blower blows air so fast & so violently that I completely broke my laptop cooling fans & had to replace it afterwards. :(

6. The unit gets very warm under use!!! I think it's because the fan 7 motor spins so fast & violently that it somehow strikes the inside housing of the unit & heats up from friction. Mine still works though but I use it in bursts.

7. It has a fairly long cord! I would say at least 10 feet but I'm not good at measuring cords so don't quote me on that.

In short this is a must have for any computer technician who needs to decrud an entire desktop of dust and crap. I've already used it on a friends desktop that hasn't been cleaned in 7 years & let's just say it was dusty...

Made in the USA!!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2020

Owner for almost 1yr.

I deep clean my PC/keyboard probably twice a year with a compressor and I wanted something easier to use for the in-between jobs and this fits the bill perfectly. Does it perform as good as a compressor, no..but you shouldn't expect it to either. It outperforms canned air and is better for the environment and your wallet in the long term.

The good: Made in the USA, as a 20yr Union man this is a huge selling point to me... if you want America to succeed you need to support American workers. Everything about the Datavac says quality, the housing is metal, the handle/cord/button are durable, and the motor has a lot of power. Where the Datavac really shines is that it outputs warm air and you can use it to dry your filters or anything else you need it to, it has come in handy for this reason so many times.

The bad: Putting on any of the included attachments other than the default cone shaped piece reduces air output quite a lot, it doesn't make the air more powerful it does the opposite. It's basically finding the limit of what non-compressed air can do. I also think they missed a perfect opportunity to call their product the 'DATA BLASTER!'.

I still prefer my compressor for deep cleaning but I'm totally satisfied with the Datavac.

This thing is incredibly powerful, imagine how powerful you think it is, then multiply that by 5.

This thing is pricey, it is loud as hell, and it gets pretty hot, but if you're OK with that it's the greatest tool for cleaning computers I have ever used. Take your computer outside and go to town, and your computer will look good as new in under 5 minutes.

If you don't believe how loud it is, when I first got it my five year old was in the room. Me, being an idiot, immediately plugged it in and blew it in her face thinking it would blow her hair around a little bit and everyone would have a good time. This thing torqued my wrist a bit from the sheer power, sounded like I had bottled an F-18, and blew a line of drool out of her mouth that hit the wall behind her. After finally getting her to stop crying I decided to only use this power for good.

Great product - some tinkering makes it better!

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

This thing is fantastic and a great solution to getting rid of canned air.

However, there's a few people complaining about the blower overheating after only a few seconds.

I also had this issue at first and recalled the Golden rule for blower motors - overheating is usually caused by too much strain on the motor to draw in air. Could this be the case?

Flipping the blower over, there's a small round opening with a thick pad of foam.

Removing the foam made mine run smoothly, produce more forceful air, and did away with the overheating issue.

The only risk factor is the holes left behind from the metal grid are rather large, so care must be taken that nothing gets sucked up into there, or it could destroy the motor.

If you're a responsible adult, fair chance you can use it unfiltered without killing yourself or setting the house on fire or shooting the cat - just be aware there's a risk in doing so.

Otherwise, perhaps finding a sturdy filter that is a lot less restrictive might be a viable solution.

Dust is the disease; MetrovAC Electric Duster is the cure

Reviewed in Canada on February 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

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.

I will avoid the old cliche of saying this product really blows. I will say though, that this product does kick up quite the whirlwind of dust, hair, fur, and otherwise as soon as you flip the switch. One recommendation I can definitely make is when you're cleaning your machine out -- do it outside. Your lungs will thank you for it. It works exactly as advertised, and works extremely well. Worth every penny spent on it, and will pay for itself in due time with not having to buy cans of air any further to clean out hardware, computers, keyboards, and otherwise.

I bought this for the crew at work because of the insane amount of canned air we were buying. We're upgrading alot of the company PC's with more ram and SSD's so while the case is open we decided to clean house a little. 150 PC's later and this has paid for itself. The team do a much more thorough job as they are not concerned about utilization of the canned air.
