X3 Hurricane Compressed Air Duster | Adjustable Speed up to 260mph | Made in USA | Cordless, Rechargeable Canned Air Duster for Computers | Extended Warranty | 5 Attachments Included

I purchased as an upgrade to a Hurricane I bought five years ago, so I already knew I love the product. I always keep it within easy reach; a must have for me for so many reasons. ANYWHERE you have dust or pet dander, the strong air flow wipes it out effortlessly. It's perfect for blowing off shelves/tabletops, appliances, light fixtures, laptops, speakers, fans, televisions... Granted dust does fall down and land again, but in conjunction with vaccuuming I don't see it as a problem. I use it outdoors to clean my window tracks, plus it blows off the fibers left behind after cleaning windows and mirrors. I enjoy art and crafts, painting, etc. and found it useful for certain projects but the strong air flow a little too much for some of the tasks. The variable speed model opened up a whole new list of uses for me and finding more each day. You start to become creative with ways you can use it. The Hurricane I bought previously still works good, maybe slightly weaker than the new one, but not by much. Now my mom has it and it's working great for her needs. This is one of those products you don't know you need until you have it. Made in the USA is another plus to appreciate. I believe that's why they don't wear out easily with as much use as they get. I recommend for any household took kit!

Worked great for about a year and one day it just completely stopped working. It always sat in the same spot in my office, never dropped, never got it wet or anything. It's possible it needs a new battery, but there's no way to replace it. I'd open it up to see if I can figure out what's wrong and try to fix it, but there are no screw holes or tabs, etc. Very disappointing, especially considering the cost and that they proudly display "made in the USA" on the page.

It's okay, very noisy, short battery life, but doesn't get hot fast which is nice. Though, I re-bought a pool toy inflator to test it against. The inflator is $10, and 50% more powerful with its smallest nozzle but gets hot fast (EZ Inflate 2.0PS!). And that's probably the biggest problem with this thing, the attachments need to be thinner to be more effective also the flexible one doesn't hold its position. I thought it would act like a bendy straw, it doesn't. Even the slightly narrow nozzle isn't powerful enough. The EasyGo is even better, but still wired at over 50% less though. In conclusion, I think the majority have a point. This isn't worth the ticket price. It's nice and convenient but a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It's about the size of an actual can of compressed air. The high pitched squeal it makes while running will drive your pets insane, it's still noisy. There are cheaper options that work better. If they come out with a smaller nozzle to increase pressure then it might make this tempting. I'm going to play around with the nozzle designs to see if I can't cobble something together. It will take care of fresh dust and crumbs, but "stale" dust is left unscathed.

I spent quite a bit of time researching alternatives to canned air that I have used for way too long. Most canned air is Tetrafluoroethane which is R134a refrigerant and is frowned upon for having a high environmental impact number and potential health problems. So with that I set into my search for an alternative. I began looking at various dusters and it funneled down to two fundamental product designs. Cordless and corded. I planned on using this product intermittently dragging an article outside to dust it off. So cordless would be very convenient. The market is littered with cheaper alternatives made over seas and the hurricane had very good reviews. The performance is above my expectations. Using the duster with the tube and slit nozzle adapter I was to remove dust from computer parts and fans without much issue. That is the primary use case for me. There is plenty of air and speed. My only reason for not giving it five stars was that I felt it was a bit pricey and should have included a storage case for the charger and odd bits. With the case the manufacturer could omit the cardboard box, an even greener alternative. I found a storage case for one of my multimeters made by Rlsoco that works and have attached a photo of it to this review. Unlike canned air you have more bits to this product to use and keep track of, it is a bad day when you cannot locate the charger for this...

I waited for a long time before writing a review on this air blower as I wanted to see how it held up, how it charged and whether it would last. I got this in November 2019 (it's now June 2020) and have been using it and recharging it consistently (about every two to three days) since then. First, I feel that it is a pretty good replacement for canned air; which I was using a lot of. The wind speed and spread are slightly different than the canned air but comparably good for the job. Recharging is easy and relatively quick. The only con so far is that the trigger now occasionally hesitates before catching and starting the air. Worrisome, for sure. I hope this lasts through the end of the year when, I figure, it will have paid for itself in comparison to using canned air.
