Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great duster although the price seems a little high

Tired of constantly buying canisters of compressed air only to find that they run out when needed, I decided to try this duster as an alternative. The price put me off - $60 for this thing?! - but in the end they were happy with it. I only use it to clean the inside of my PC. BUILD QUALITY: The outer case is fairly cheap plastic, but it feels heavy in your hand - likely due to the weight of the motor - and hasn't broken yet despite months of use. I definitely wouldn't want to drop it on a hard surface as I think the case will likely crack or chip, but other than that the device itself feels solid. The trigger works well with a satisfying click when pressed, although it takes a few seconds for the lobe to pick up speed. To give you an idea of the size, it is about the size of a compact hair dryer, like in hotels, at the base. The included USB charging cable is cheap, as expected, but serves its purpose. For me, the relatively poor build quality isn't a problem, although I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the price. It would have been nice if the grip had a rubberized texture rather than matte plastic. 4/5 FUNCTIONALITY/EASY TO USE: This towel creates an IMPRESSIVEly powerful airflow. I have no problem crawling into every nook and cranny deep inside my computer to blow out all sorts of dusty dirt. The downside to this is that this thing is LOUD - much louder than typical compressed air canisters. Something to keep in mind when attempting to use something that doesn't drive everyone around you crazy. Since I only use it at home, it's not a big problem for me. I do a fairly deep cleaning of my PC about once a month and the battery has survived several cleanings so far. I think I've only charged it once in the few months I've had it. Other reviewers have debated the fact that the battery loses its ability to hold a charge over time, which I haven't had any issues with. I think for occasional use this won't be a problem, but if you plan on using it all the time - let's say you work at a car wash, making things like parts and using it all day, every day. - Obviously, this can be a small problem. I will definitely update my review if this turns out to be an issue. Price aside, I'm very happy with the performance of this little device. 5/5 VALUE: At the time of this review, a 4-pack of compressed air is around $20 on the Revain. Compared to compressed air cylinders, I like that this rag does not cool down with prolonged use, does not form condensation on the outside, and does not accidentally release condensed gas when tilted slightly. These are all nice perks since I only use it to clean the innards of my PC. Not having to worry about the compressed air tank I might have on hand breaking during cleaning is also a nice touch. Is it worth the 60€ I paid for it? Probably no. I always judge the "value" of products by whether or not I feel some "torn" feeling after using a product, and I definitely feel that here. Without knowing anything about how much it costs to produce one of these things, $30-$40 seems more reasonable to me. consider getting one of these rags. Yes, it's expensive, but the convenience of not having to constantly buy compressed air or the other disadvantages of compressed air is definitely worth it. For my use case, that's a great thing. I just don't feel comfortable paying for what I paid for it.
