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.
Within 30 seconds of use the air coming out is hot so keep the air stream away from surface mount components on circuits boards so they don't de-solder and disappear. It's also quite LOUD! Not shrill just loud.
The 12' power cord is a nice touch. The unit has a sturdy metal case and handle. It's heavy. The accessories are ok. It would blow leaves off the porch nicely too.
I would recommend DataVac as one more tool to move a lot low pressure air. It doesn't replace dusting gas entirely and keep a shopvac handy.
Long power cord, attachments actually fit properly and are useful.
Big time power - careful where you aim it :) The only thing that I don't really like is the flexible wand - it's really flexible and if you're not careful the stem swings around wildly - but it is perfect to stick into hard to reach places.
And a bonus - a micro vacuum attachment kit that I purchased here is useable on the blower and adds more attachments as well as an almost three foot long flexible hose.
Sure it's noisy - if you want power in something quiet you'll need bulky soundproofing and it would be the size of your house vac.
A little heavier than I expected but that's no doubt because of the HIGH QUALITY build - and it's got a great warranty as well. With the flexible hose extension from my micro vacuuming kit you can put the can down (not a dead man's switch) and blow away. They do have two flexible hoses available in three foot and 6 foot lengths.
If you use more than 5 large cans of air a year, this unit will replace them - and should work for years to come. Five year warranty on the motor.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I got tired of buying compressed air cans for 3 reasons 1) do not pack punch, 2) sinking costs of attritional material as you keep using them and 3) add waste as we don't know if the local waste company just dumps them into a landfill or recycles.
I read a lot of reviews of this baby, and at $60.00 price could not beat the fact that money would be recovered before the 5-year warranty expires from not buying the air cans. I have now used this tiny sucker for over 9 years and it is still running like it was brand new.
The Good:
1. Solid build quality. This thing is like an iron brick. Other than the plastic handle, everything else seems to be metal. Robust metal casing with good fixtures connecting and holding the unit tight. Even the original box that it came in feels very well made and heavy duty. The paint job on the can feels professionally done.
2. Awesome power. Depending on the connector you use, this thing generates a healthy dose of power. It can really get into the nooks and crannies of mechanical, electrical or computer devices without running out of steam. The air feels like coming from a miniature jet engine.
3. Plethora of Connectors. Depending on your usage you can use the 5 supplied connectors to really blow things off.
4. Made in the USA - "Because it Matters" that's the company tagline.
5. Nice detail showing the date of manufacture.
6. Ergonomic Handle, which lets you not feel tired from extended use.
Cons: While not really cons, I would consider them as improvements.
1. It would be good to have a cord zip tie to keep the power cord together. I am using a Velcro strap.
2. A small diameter tube, equivalent to the can air canisters would be a nice addition.
3. Heat. The unit can get hot upon frequent use, so it would be good to be safe while holding it.
4. Loudness. I am on fence, to have a powerful system the motor will emit loud noise, but I wonder a little sound deadening can help to damp the noise. But such deadening can also create a heat retention cloak preventing proper heat dissipation.
Bottom-line:
If you need to buy it, do not worry and pull the trigger. It is a good device. It will probably outlast you. Also, it supports US manufacturing, even if it is a little pricey, but the amount of money it has saved me by not using the cans, it has paid itself three times over. Also, it indirectly saves more money by not filling the landfills faster and causing your taxes to go up.

Redoutablement efficace donc et bien supérieur à l'air comprimé en bouteille. Un très bon investissement donc pour tout les desktop enthusiast qui veulent maintenir leur machines ultra clean. Je note 5/5, aucun défaut même le prix est abordable, indispensable également si vous bossez en atelier pour exemple.

正直、あまり期待はしてなかったのですが風量、取扱、 どれをとっても最高でした。
他の方達のレビューでも満足度が高かったですが、実際自分が使用してみてこれほどとは思いもしませんでした。

It does get warm in operation, but I have never needed to use it for more than 30sec at a go. Beware the starting torque of the 500W motor can result in you dropping it if you are not gripping the handle tightly.
A bit pricey, but then again a good quality canned air duster can set you back £15 and not last very long.
