8:15 Closing comments
Overall, cleaning my PC with the XPower A2-S cyber duster was a much more convenient and satisfying experience than with cleaning with compressed air. I find cans of compressed air to be quite annoying to use because you need to hold the can straight in order to prevent its dangerous liquid from being expelled on your delicate components. The whole operation felt risky, not to mention that the can would get extremely cold, causing me to wait for it to warm up and preventing me from cleaning my PC in a fast and efficient manner. The Xpower cyber duster is a worthy buy it for life investment thanks to how durable and reliable it is. With the Xpower duster, not only you are getting an equally, if not not more powerful and reliable air blower, you are stopping unnecessary waste of disposable compressed air cans that go into a landfill, and who knows, maybe this duster can be handed down to the next generation or shared with friends to further prevent waste and create a more sustainable future.

I had a similar issue. I bought a rechargeable water sprayer to use to mist my reptile enclosures, and I've moved back to spraying with a generic bottle because its just a hassle to charge the battery when it needs it, especially when it dies in the middle of the job. Corded would give more power, last longer, and is a better price. Thanks for this video.

Completely understood when you said that corded was the way to go. Rechargeable lithium ion batteries are convenient but suck in the long run once their charge cycle comes to an end.

[@JSyntax]

Indeed!

[@McDudes]

I googled the live cycle and found "2 to 3 years or 300 to 500 charge cycles" so if you just use it to clean your computer every other month of so then it should last almost 50 years? Edit nvm seems to be whichever comes first. So then yeah guess it wouldn't last past 3 years either way.

This looks really good. I have an old Dell desktop that I have been using for 11 years and it still is working ok. I have replaced some case fans, the power supply, and HDD. I clean the dust out of it once or twice per year. This blower looks really good. A must have for a PC tech shop. I gave up on canned air for the reasons you've stated. I have a small vacuum with an exhaust hose and nozzle that works well for me. I also use a small, soft paint brush to loosen heatsink dust. Thank you for this video.

[@TesserId]

I was actually looking for kind of a top 10 comparison, but the top 6 KZbin search results are all just collections of marketing footage with cheap voice over, with no real comparison or critique of the products. So, yours is the first review that actually discusses the issues involved. What I'd really like to see is something like the reviews at Project Farm, but that's expensive, so I'm not going to hold you to that standard. Since you mention wearing ear protection, I expect that it matters how loud these things are. Project Farm would surely use a sound meter to gauge that. Project Farm would also have measured air speed at the nozzle. Again, all of that is a lot of work, so I'm not hold you to that standard. But, I'm definitely going to upvote you for being better than the top 6 KZbin results. Oh, and good job on the links, very thorough. And, thanks for the tip on the filters; I've not seen those before.

[@TesserId]

P.S. I'm also going to look to see if there are any that use decent, replaceable lithium ion batteries. Wish me luck on that.

[@GeneralKato]

Yes, for Max Power (Hello Homer!) corded is always the way to go but sometimes you just can’t have the cord… try the Kica Jetfan 2. It’s really not that bad, expensive but not that bad (compared to your 3/4 HP blower).

I kind of had a second thought to buy this based on the websites $100 valuation, however I looked on ebay and they're going for $50. That could be the price change from cad to usd, but even then it'd still be $70 usd if it were converted from 100 cad. so definitely cheaper on ebay and now i'm definitely buying it.

Air duster are a good solution for save money and clean well the case. Anyway as I advice usually there are some brands with really good air filter and built to be more dust proof than others. Put filter in front of fan is good but dust will come from other small holes in case. Some case have good filter as your all in the front, top and bottom of case plus back vents are closed to minimize dust to enter PC. Usually these case are more expensive.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your detailed review of the XPOWER A-2S Electric Air Duster. It's clear that you're really impressed with its performance and build quality. I've been thinking about getting an electric air duster for my PC as well, and your review has convinced me that the XPOWER A-2S is a great choice. I also appreciate your tips on positive air pressure and using fine mesh fan filters. It's good to know that these measures can help keep dust out of your PC and reduce the need for frequent cleaning. One question I have is, did you experience any issues with static electricity while using the XPOWER A-2S on your PC components? I've heard some concerns about that with electric dusters, so I'd love to hear your experience. Overall, thanks for the informative review, and I'll definitely consider getting the XPOWER A-2S for my PC cleaning needs.

[@JSyntax]

Never had issues with static, used it for my pc without issues

[@mizukiaki]

I have a important question. Is the A-2 s the same as a-2 or is it better? For me the a-2 s costs 20 more on amazon and takes longer to ship so it would be nice to know since it also has less attachments. I really need to clean my pc! I have it now since over 2 years and i haven’t cleaned it since then. My pc components are really expensive and I’m so scared to break them since when I tried to use the canned air there was always white stuff coming out on my keyboard and I didn’t want that on my gpu or cpu. So this is my last hope since my pc is louder than a G6y 😅

I use it in my little garden and I use the outside outlet (that I use for electric lawnmower). That thing is really powerful even at low speed. This is not the cheapest, especially compared to the cordless ones but it's really powerful.

[@amitabhtiwari7975]

Can it be used to clean laptop fan and vent without opening the back panel of laptop? I mean will it do the job?

[@Plexez]

I’m a bit mixed on this idea. I wouldn’t recommend it too much, it could send dust deeper into the laptop. However, I’d maybe do it if I’m really lazy or if it’d void the warranty by opening it, most of the dust would probably be removed.

[@Psychoticgamer94]

For anybody wondering you have to hold your fan down because when a fan spins up it creates electricity. It's basically just a generator. When an electric motor is spinning it is creating electricity.

Those super fine filters work but they cut down airflow. Get some 1/4 inch A/C foam pre-filter. Cut it to fit the front of your case and it's a done deal. When you clean it rinse it out and hang it to dry. The piece of filter I bought was big enough to cut 3 filters from. I chose the thicker stuff because I didn't want to take the chance of it getting sucked into a fan. It's just easier, and lets more air through. It does dim down the LED fans in the front a little but I don't care about them. I like them better dimmed to be honest.
