DataVac Computer Cleaner / Computer Duster Super Powerful Electronic Dust Blower Environmentally Friendly Alternative to Compressed Air or Canned Air

I love, love, love this little workhorse. I stumbled across the prior version about ten years ago at one of those giant computer stores while my son was searching for PC parts and was intrigued. It was expensive, but I splurged. Fast forward to now, where I am happily using my second one because I used the first one so much that I had to replace it over the holidays (the plastic cord surrounding the wiring where it connects to the blower eventually just disintegrated to the point that no amount of electrical tape could keep it going any longer without risking electrocution).And I used it a lot. I mean, a lot. Weirdly I rarely used for what it's advertised for. I use it for what I call power dusting - this thing will clear out dust bunnies you didn't know existed.It will force out every dead goldfish cracker and stray Chik-fil-A waffle fry in every crevice of your car.Try it in your closet and be horrified at how much dust attaches itself to your clothing and shoes.I've used it to clear out my dryer hose and even my dryer vent (note, I am fastidious about always cleaning out my lint trap but when I used the blower, the amount of lint that came flying out was both terrifying and impressive).I use it to dust out my fridge, freezer, kitchen cabinets/drawers (just gotta make sure light things are locked down). It susses out dust and grime from under appliances, under furniture, in corners, on ceilings, and ceiling fans.Cobwebs - ha! No more.And it will transform your garage cleaning. I've used it on my front and back porch (wouldn't use it too much outside because it's really not made for that, but for a quick porch clean it's great).One caveat, the "filter" is a tiny, round piece of fabric mesh and it does get dirty pretty quickly. I just pop it out and and use the blower to quickly clean it and pop it back in (see photos). I had the last one for 10+ years and the filter never failed. (I'm not sure the manufacturer thought some weird lady would use it for all her dust bunny hunting and car-goldfish cleaning, so I didn't ding my rating for frequent filter cleaning since I think I use it off-label.)A few more things to know:1. It's also small, but that's the point. It's small but powerful - I think just the right amount of power to use indoors. Anything bigger would be too much (e.g. leaf blowers).2. Until you get a feel for how forceful the air stream is, err on the side of moving light things out of the way because this can and will knock things over. Thankfully I never broke anything, but would not recommend using around delicate, expensive things. (And, because I'm a lawyer, please do not point this at your face, your partner's face, your annoying neighbor's face, your pet's face, or anywhere near a child's face. And keep out of reach of children, away from water, blah, blah, blah).3. It's loud. My app registered 95dB. I usually have my AirPods in so it doesn't matter to me, but you do have to consider whether using it in your garage with the door open at 11:00 p.m. on a work night is a good idea. (Or so I'm told).I think it's great fun to use and amazing. Your mileage may vary but I hope this helps! (Last disclaimer, I have absolutely zero affiliation with anyone having anything to do with this product.)

Fantastic shipment speed ! Busted the one issued for work and needed a new one quickly ! This is THE exact model that I was issued and packed perfectly. This one works like a champ.

I bought my ED-500PV to clean my computers, my mechanical keyboard, my friend's computer, and so on. I waffled for months before buying because of the high price tag relative to some other products on the market and a dearth of clear, objective reviews (or even detailed product information). I just cleaned two PCs and a keyboard, and I'm very pleased!It won't get that fine coating of surface dust off of fans, metal panels, PCBs, etc. For that, you'll want to use a detailing brush to dislodge the dust while blowing air at the surface with your DATAVAC. For all the important stuff - clearing out heatsink fins, for instance - it's remarkably good.I'm VERY glad I went for the variable speed model. The dial goes from off to low through high speed/power and is very nice to use; it's a shame they didn't provide more details about it in the product page. It looks awkward to use but is actually a joy. I didn't need or use max power at all; I would have been disappointed if I had bought the fixed speed version to save a few dollars, because it's so much more power than I actually need. I did almost all of my cleaning in the low to medium range.Noise was a concern based on what I had read, but honestly, it was quite tame at lower power, where I actually used it. At max power, it's noisy, but not enough to be uncomfortable (for me). It sounds like a vacuum but a bit higher-pitched.Heat was also a concern for me, based on reviews for some competing products I've seen on Amazon. The air blowing down from the seams in the body does seem to keep it cool. I used it fairly heavily over the course of maybe an hour or more, and it was absolutely never hot to the touch.The product absolutely feels like it's solidly made and crafted with care. I really think the product's own marketing sells it short.I do have two complaints, neither significant enough to reduce my rating or recommendation at all.First, in my opinion, the detailing kit's smallest sizes are almost useless (or I just don't have the right use case). They're so small that they seem to provide almost no airflow. I thought the tiny wedge would be great for a keyboard, for instance, but it was useless. Instead, I used a keycap puller and then brushed between the keys quickly while blowing with my DataVac, and then I cleaned the surface as needed by hand.Second, and more importantly, I would love an explanation for the potential carcinogen warning in the product. In particular, there was a bit of a chemical smell - maybe a lubricant - the entire time I was using the product, and I would love to know if that and the Prop 65 warning are connected. If there are potential carcinogens buried in the product for very good reasons, and I'm never going to be exposed to them under normal use, that's maybe okay, though not ideal. On the other hand, if I'm actually being exposed, that's very bad, obviously. Assuming that it's not a health hazard, I strongly recommend the ED-500PV for computer dusting, etc.!
