Pros: Great pressure, infinite use, air filter, well built

Cons: Loud, gets hot after prolonged use, large/heavy

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 bottom that works fine and is easily removed for cleaning.

The amount of air this moves is much more than a can of air. It comes with a few different nozzles but I haven't really used them. Another big advantage over canned air is that you can use this upside down with no ill effects. As it is just a blower motor, orientation is irrelevant so no more freezing your parts on accident.

Overall, this thing is a great little device. You'll never need to buy compressed air again for home use but remember that this won't work well in any public settings like an office or store. It is very loud. But if you are tired of buying canned air and don't mind the noise, better pick one up.
