Never switched my thumbs up on a video to a thumbs down quicker. You want to know why you've only got 34 likes? Because you placed the wrong bloody item links in the pinned comment. You linked them to the knock off versions. The ones in the links ARE NOT the one you just reviewed in the video. Nice one.

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey @@MidnightPodcastGaming ! Appreciate the feedback! Let me have another look at those links. I believe the unit is different depending on the region not knock offs as such just an equivalent from that region. Mine is specifically an Aussie one and I might have US and UK versions in my links. They all have different plugs so need to be careful there. I’ll see if I can a source the Aussie one too so it matches. Which region you in?

[@MidnightPodcastGaming]

@@LovingTechLife I'm Aussie too. I'm on the Aussie version right now. Exact same model as the one in your video. 115. Same price as in your video. THAT is the model people need to get. The others aren't 100% the same. They even look different.

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey @@MidnightPodcastGaming thank you, due to your feedback I have now added the Aussie one to the pinned comment and the description and mentioned that this is the exact one as is in the video. Yes they look different in each region but they should function the same with same power etc based on the spec of each. By the way let me know if you have any questions on the device itself. 👍🏻

[@MidnightPodcastGaming]

@@LovingTechLife Maybe they won't, that would be the fear for many. There are bad reviews on those other ones. None on the one you did a video on. 115 is a lot of money. Unsure if I would just be better off with a 40 dollar one. I dunno. I'm conflicted.

[@audiojunkie5435]

Great review. One tip though, make sure to hold the fan the blades to stop the bearing/motor being damaged by exceeding the RPM of the fan itself. Also, this amount of dust was criminal. So, in the words of Joey Swoll: "You need to do BETTER!"

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey @audiojunkie5435! Thanks for the feedback, yes I was going to town on spinning those blades for the video alright. I couldn’t believe it when I found those filters how bad they were. Hidden between a couple of doors at the front I kinda forgot they were even there, so bad 😅

[@FullCaber]

oh fug i forgot to hold onto the fans xD

[@mirzau1564]

@@FullCaberdoesn’t matter that much, but there is a small chance your motherboard could get damaged due to the kinetic energy generated by the spinning fans

[@LovingTechLife]

🤣

[@CB27]

Any thoughts on longevity? I almost bought this today, but got put off by the negative reviews that talk about it exploding and spewing hot parts all over the place!

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey @@CB27 ! Mine is still working great. I make sure not to overheat it by running it for too long without a break-something I think others might be doing, running it so hot that they cause it to explode!

[@inDasInnen]

dude, dont let the vent spin while you're cleaning, you may damage the bearings with the high rev

[@LucianoPiana]

Hi. Can the mainboard circuits be cleaned with the tubular brush attachment? (not just with brushes). I really mean crawling over the electronic components without the danger of generating electrostatic charges and therefore damaging them.

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey @LucianoPiana! I reached out to IT Dusters to ask and I can confirm that the brush on the nozzle is ESD-safe even when used with the CompuCleaner running.

[@LucianoPiana]

I really appreciated the (extra) effort. Thanks for the video and additional information. Let's hope the followers increase. Subscription done@@LovingTechLife

@LucianoPiana glad I could help and thanks for the support!

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey @AbominiumJS! Thank you, glad it was helpful!

[@TheOnerice]

Buying it asap tomorrow. Cheers mate :)

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey Onerice, you’re welcome 👍🏻

[@kahahabahaha]

How would you say this compares to the AirTec type 6 and the various DataVacs?

[@LovingTechLife]

Hi Kahahabahaha! I asked the company that makes this if they would be releasing it in the US recently and they responded with the following: “Currently the Xpert is a UK and EU only model. Our closest USA model to this is the AirTec Type 6 which uses the same platform” So the AirTec Type 6 is the same thing on the inside but can’t comment on the DataVacs.

[@reggieramos9052]

Is there a difference with this type of electric air dusters with bigger body/canister vs the electric air dusters that is more gun shape?

[@LovingTechLife]

I think it all comes down to the power the have and how strong they are. The bigger they are the stronger the air.

[@NaR00W]

What's that red pad filter you put in the bottom? How long does it last, can you buy new ones?

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey NaR00W! It’s just the filter for the air going into the duster. It already comes installed inside and they include a spare one. Yes IT Dusters do sell packs of replacement filters.

[@ClaireSara]

Yes I was about to say and then you said it, the environmentally friendly element of it is brilliant. Those cans are awful.

[@LovingTechLife]

👍🏻 Absolutely, thanks Claire! 👍🏻

[@RocketHarry865]

you should get some paddlepop sticks and stick them between the fan blades so the blades don't spin when you blow on them.

[@LovingTechLife]

Great idea Adam! 👍🏻

[@MagiconIce]

Hi, I watched the video since I'm wondering if I should get this and on literally every electric air duster, no matter if this one or others (wired or with battery) I read bad reviews, that they had instances of these devices shorting out after only a few uses, some even spitting out charred electric components, simply being a fire hazard. I'm wondering, how your piece is holding up, since you maybe have used it a few times by now? Is it still working fine?

[@MrSkimow]

Curious too

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey @Magiconlce! It’s been running great for the past few months. However I was already aware that I shouldn’t be running it at full power for an extended period of time as that will over heat it and cause problems.

[@FullCaber]

bought this thing year ago and love how good job it does

[@WinstonBuford]

Got this coming today, cant wait. Nice video!

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey @WinstonBurford! Thanks for your feedback. What are you going to blast with it?

[@briandennison628]

Did you find any improvement when you put the PC back together?

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey Brian! A lot quieter and cooler!

[@erging_Munirah_my]

I need this (I think?) to clean the flywheel of my Concept 2 rowing machine. Does anyone here have experience with this item for row ergs? Also, I live in Malaysia...the voltage is 240 and the plug type is G (3 rectangular pins). If I purchase this item online do I have the option of choosing between different plug types? Or would I have to change it myself after the item is delivered? Thanks for the feedback...and great video by the way!!!

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey S. Munirah Alatas! Thanks for the nice feedback on the video. You just need the UK model since it’s the same plug. Also compatible voltage 220-240v Link here: amzn.to/3OyPzlu The Australian one I have is same voltage range but you will need an adapter for the plug.

[@erging_Munirah_my]

Thanks a lot for the response. ❤

[@ClaireSara]

Looks great. Great video David!

[@LovingTechLife]

Thanks Claire, my first attempt at some “storytelling” elements in a video.

You just made my purchase one thanks for the vid

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey Saf R! You’re welcome, glad it was helpful. What are you going to clean first with it?

[@Saf_R]

@@LovingTechLife lol good question… prob vacuum cleaners to test it out. I have a few classic cars that I like to tinker with where I will use it and I’m a hardware tech person so have a lot of electronics where it will be handy

[@LovingTechLife]

@Saf_R 😎

[@SOREI]

Just picked one up myself, how safe are these to use on a PC on a scale of 1 to 10? Kinda nervous as my rig cost me $2,000+ to build LMAO 😅

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey SOREI! They are designed to be used with PCs and the brushes are ESD safe. The main thing is not to let the fan spin like crazy like I didn’t purely for demonstration purposes in the video 😅

[@Chewy427]

Shouldn't you tape the blades so they dont become generators

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey Deicidium! Yes, you should keep the blades still with tape or at least by holding them. I spun them purely for demonstration purpose of the power of the duster and probably damaged the bearings.

[@erging_Munirah_my]

Can this be used in Malaysia?

[@LovingTechLife]

Replied into your other comment :-)

[@MsTebim]

Mine catch fire after 2 years … would not really recommend

[@LovingTechLife]

Yeah I’ve heard you need to be mindful of how long you are running it in a single session without letting it cool down as it will get hot.

[@MsTebim]

@@LovingTechLifenot even running that long , flamme were coming out of the power cord while I was blowing my keyboard …

[@d4nith3]

Hold the fan with ur fingers to stop the spinning. U destroyed the inside bearing.

[@splendorman7922]

you are cleaning the fans wrong. you need to stop the blades from turning with ur finger or something.

[@LovingTechLife]

Hey Splendorman! Thanks for the info, it was more for demonstration purposes to see how powerful the air was. Fortunately they seem ok for now, the sacrifices we make for a video 😅

[@MadTitanGamer]

Not going to hurt if they aren’t plugged in to anything

[@basmus]

@@MadTitanGamer thats not true. You can still damage the internal components of the fan itself by exceeding the rpm it's made for.

[@martykaspik]

dislike, hold the fans while cleaning it

[@LovingTechLife]

Yes, obviously and for anyone else reading this do not follow my example when you clean your own fans. I spun the ones I had purely for demonstration purposes to show the strength of the air duster. 👍🏻
