Member Reviews: Metro Vacuum ED500 DataVac 500-Watt 0.75-HP Electric Duster

This is a must have buy for any computer enthusiast. This thing will blow out dust in the most obscure places and make your case look brand new. Just make sure you are in a well ventilated area as dust will go everywhere. The datavac is one of of those things that will pay for itself in the many years that you will use it. I highly recommend it!

Truly awesome. Very powerful, won't harm components, comes with a variety of nozzles (for which kind of air flow you'd like). Great investment for dust cleaning!

I use this thing at least once a week to clean my PC. I'm running a tech bench 24/7 and was going through compressed air cans non-stop. This solved that problem. It is very loud, I brought it to work to clean out my PC there, and everyone was staring at me like a psycho If you use it for more then a few minutes it gets very hot! So don't burn your self, or use it in short bursts.

I'd walked into a local Compusa store with the intentions of buying canned air to clean out my computer case. the canned air was $29.99 for a 3 pk and $9.99 for a single lousy can of air. I'd seen the Metro DataVac online but never in a retail store. Well, that day Compusa had it on the shelves on sale $49.99 and I've never regretted buying one that day. It's more than paid for itself.

I've never been a fan of compressed air in a tin, why buy air when it's all around me? Besides, i can fart with more force than those things. In my view, they are (and always have been) an utter waste of money. The Datavac further shows me why this is true. So i've owned this thing for a good month and, as you'd expect, this is a very good product - definitely one of my best purchases to date. I was actually surprised to get hold of one within the UK. It can be a rare find but yes, they are available here if you look hard enough. Anyhoo, I'll start with the pro's first: Pro's: Powerful and versatile, it comes with a number of nozzles for each task at hand. Of course, it's not a...

I received this for my birthday a couple weeks ago and it has quickly become my favorite tool in the house. The powerful (500W) motor makes quick work of loose dust through the case and on components. The blower also comes with several attachments, the best of which is the brush. A small brush on the end of the "straw" attachment will loosen the "caked on" dust and blow it away while it's at it! All my fans and components look, and run, like brand new. Great for cleaning fans! A must buy for any enthusiast.

That pretty much says it. Great product!

it blows away canned air in comparison i love this thing ! its small, well built, very powerful and it never runs out it is a bit loud though. well worth the money

This little blower is a wonderful alternative to the canned air we usually buy to blow away dust. It costs a bit more up front but there is no loss in pressure during use and it never runs it. It comes with a decently long cord and feels very solid in your hand. From what I can gather, you are essentially holding a motor attached to a blower fan. It is built for one purpose and that is to move air. The blower is rather loud; I'd say it is 30% louder than your average vacuum, though that may be because your face is probably pretty close to it. It can also get rather warm after a few minutes of use, at least warm enough to be uncomfortable. There is a small piece of foam filter in the...

I used this besides just dusting my PC. When I was modding my case and cutting it I used it to blow the dust and everything else away. I use it to clean lots of things very quickly.
