So I have been using compressed air for a while now but I managed to find some products which might be more powerful than compressed air.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ITdusters-com-EGP-COM-011-CompuCleaner-Electric-Duster/dp/B00S7CH6FK

So I found this one called the CompuCleaner, it seems quite powerful, decent reviews and £40.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/DataVac-22...e=UTF8&qid=1465770656&sr=8-1&keywords=datavac

This next one is called the Datavac, way more expensive at £85, not sure what the difference is and if it is even worth it at that price?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Deck...770744&sr=8-1&keywords=black+and+decker+vh780

This last one is the Black & Decker VH780, it is actually a vacuum but has a blower mode which is used to blow away debris from your garden like leaves I think. Not sure if it is suitable for a computer, it is the cheapest one at £35 and looks like it has a dual function so perhaps the best value for money?

Not sure which one to pick, what do you guys think?
 
my bro has DataVac 220. Blowing the dust out he broke three fans.
Very powerful thing. One downside - it's loud.
 
A friend has a data vac and they're excellent for blasting dust away, you will need to protect your fans from spinning though or you may kill them. It is very loud as others have said but it really does work.

Am personally not a fan of compressed air, I've never found it quite powerful enough.
 
Bought a Sidewinder Inflatable Air Pump 240v comes with nozzles £12 must be about 7yrs ago job done.

I just use a 2" paintbrush to losen the dust them blast it with this pump, no worries about fan damage.

Most of my mates use one for PC cleaning, for the price you can't go wrong.

I have the VH780. Works perfectly. I clean the PC every month with it.
 
Cans of compressed air have always done the job for me. I use a little paintbrush too, like someone else mentioned.
 
I remember seeing a thread in the last couple of months and they mentioned the compu cleaner. I actually bought one myself after reading the reviews and I have to say it is awesome, way more power than compressed air and never runs out and perfect for cleanign fans / fan filters and those hard to reach places, definitely recommended!

Quick question for both of you, so looking at this thread the Datavac has actually managed to break fans, is this a problem with either the VH780 or the CompuCleaner?

Do you ever use the VH780's normal function for just general use? Also does the VH780 blow out air all in one speed or can you control it?

Your wallet can thank me later.
 
Datavac, household fan, and paintbrush. You have the fan set up to blow dust away from the PC once it's been blown out by the Datavac.
