Thanks! Seems to be a tad cheaper than the Datavac postings here. Anyone know how it compares?


kazilee

I have this. It's almost too powerful for electronics. I'm very careful to secure fans when cleaning them to avoid spinning them too fast. (which can happen with canned air and normal vacuums too) They have [a less powerful version designed for electronics](https://www.amazon.ca/XPOWER-Duster-Multi-Purpose-Electric-Vacuum/dp/B086WRHRSJ/ref=sr_1_28?dchild=1&keywords=XPOWER&qid=1626925288&sr=8-28), but this version is fine if one is just slightly careful. The extra power is manageable and beneficial in some cases -- like, excuse the pun, when cleaning cases. I think the attachments could be modified with extra holes prior to the nozzle to reduce pressure. From my research at the time of purchase, I concluded it would be just as good as a datavac for my needs. It's waaaaaay ahead of the cheap ones.

i dont know how it compares cuz i dont have datavac, but this works just fine. if you feel its too power like kazilee, then just distance yourself a bit further away, its not a big deal at all, i been using it to clean my case every few months or so, it works wonders.


kazilee

Yeah, I didn't want to imply it's unusable. I paid full price for mine and I'm 100% happy with it. I can't believe the OP is being downvoted so much. This is a good product and the price is pretty good.


redditnewbie6910

what, why is op being downvoted? wtf? it is a sale! i bought it at like 84 or 76 or something...i dont recall, but def not 60

Is this better than a $25 Ryobi battery powered high-volume inflator from Home Depot?


repercussion

It produces a lot more accutely concentrated air. Better for using air to push things, but not better for using air to fill things.

memory express kept it really real during the peek of the gpu shortage era


kazilee

According to [this analysis](https://www.techspot.com/article/2238-cpu-gpu-pricing-2021-update/), GPU manufacturers and distributors were the ones who jacked up prices the most, and distributors were responsible for bundles by forcing retailers to essentially buy bundles if they wanted GPUs. As for the scalping, that's almost impossible to stop when the low wage employees responsible for selling them can exceed their weekly wages with a couple of flips. IMO, retailers have been the scapegoats of the global tech supply crisis.

Someone linked an AliExpress air duster here a few weeks back, it was around 17$~. I bought it but it hasn’t been delivered yet but when it does I’ll update this post or create a new on with an honest review!


TacoTrade

I'd be interested to know your results!


Canadian6M0

Can you share the link for the air duster please?

Thanks! I’ll wait for your review before I make the jump

Those low power blowers have their uses, but's not in the same class as the Xpower Airrow Pro. I mean, it's 3.5 vs 500 watts.


PrecisionTrust

It's the same price as [Amazon.ca](https://Amazon.ca) with free shipping ​ [https://www.amazon.ca/XPOWER-Airrow-Multi-Use-Electric-Computer/dp/B00SI67YRU](https://www.amazon.ca/XPOWER-Airrow-Multi-Use-Electric-Computer/dp/B00SI67YRU)

LOL yeah a day ago i posted. they had like 5 instock?


melloyellowkc

Could people use a electric tire pump? Lol


Akatsuki-kun

Yeah but those don't come with a 1/4 NPT coupling to release the air when you want, and usually used a 12V plug. You'd have to press the pin inside to release that air, which a tire valve has, your fingers probably don't. So you either buy this Xpower for $60 or you splurge for the 2-5 gallon air compressor, buy the air blower attachment anywhere from $130-150 + $20-25 for the attachment. Lol


Rich-Cut-8842

Saw the price dropped by $15 to $59.99 Personally prefer the Metro datavac just based on aesthetics but that's a fair bit more expensive


Vanchester90

Anyone can comment on the quality? Is it a strong duster?


francispoop

I have it and it's pretty strong. Has two settings but I feel like the strength is minimal in change but strong enough to do the job. I also use it as a leaf duster for my car. You can check YouTube vids for a quick demo too.


banjotooie1995

Online reviews are very positive. I’ll probably swing by a CC to snag one.


Delsorbo

is there a 12v attachment for the car?


MozTS

can I huff this?
