Review on πŸ’¨ XPOWER A-5 Mini Powered Air Duster Vacuum - Multifunctional & Sleek Black Finish by Julio Solano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As advertised good for computer accessories and peripherals

As advertised this vacuum cleaner is great for replacing canned air and as a bonus it can of course dry the air or vacuum up dust. Advantages: - Much stronger than canned compressed air. It will pay for itself very quickly. The bag is more than enough to clean half a dozen computers before emptying it, but I like to take care of my gear so I clean the bag after every use. The bag seems to be much more durable than me. Expected from photos and I'm not worried about frequent or repeated washing. - It comes with a spare bag and filters and I didn't see any spares that weren't even advertised when I bought it so it was a nice surprise. - When you try to dry the components, the air heats up pretty quickly. Remember that hot air can cause static electricity to build up over electronics, so use caution. This vacuum cleaner bills itself as an electronics cleaner, but that doesn't really matter when it comes to basic physics. The power of the fan can force alcohol or other liquids out of even the smallest microchips and CPU sockets on motherboards. Compact, powerful and at a great price. Cons: The attachment system leaves a lot to be desired, especially for the small investment, and it wasn't entirely obvious how to use them. One of the smaller, straw-like devices has to be almost forcibly placed around the male end in order to be donned. I've had no issues with attachments flying off the end due to air pressure or anything like that. - The engine heats up quickly. I don't know the durability of this product but I wouldn't recommend using it for long periods of time. All in all I would buy it again and recommend it. I use it in combination with a special WD-40 contact cleaner.

Pros
  • Computer accessories and peripherals
Cons
  • Out of style
