Electronics/computer vacuum

Well this was probably the biggest waste of money I ever spent on a computer. There is LITERALLY NO SUCTION. It will not pick up a piece of dust, a paper flake, a piece of salt. It's THAT weak. And the option where you switch the small attachment to the air outtake part of the vacuum and use it as a blower...well that is equally weak, lame, and useless as well. Trust me, take your money and buy a few cans of compressed air. It cleans much better (well anything would clean better), and you can actually see, and feel it blowing the dirt away.

Look Elsewhere

Look elsewhere for your computer-vacuuming needs. While a great concept, this vacuum falls short in the sucking-factor.

Somewhat useful

This item is a small handheld vacuum. It doesn't have much power. It does get large things from the computer case, like furballs that collect in odd places, but doesn't have the cleaning power off good old fashion compressed air.

Clean-up on... Datavac
»
My husband bought one of these for me as a Christmas gift this year; I have wanted a computer vacuum for so long. I was so pleased to finally have one.
I charged it (according to the directions) and tried it out (we all want that first try to "play" with our new "toys"). My first impression was... I wasn't impressed.
I Assumed (hoped, really) that I had done something incorrectly (Maybe I didn't fully charge it when I thought I had? Maybe I hadn't put the attachments on properly? (I know, "How can one mess up the attachments?" but, hey, I was trying to give it the benefit of the doubt)). I put it away until I could take more time to check it again later, when we got home.
When I did have the opportunity? Pbbbb! It still didn't do squat (and this time I knew it was not me!). I checked the cord connections. I checked the attachments,... and I definitely had it fully charged! The suction just was not there. It was so minimal that I couldn't feel it. I couldn't feel anything at all. The blower felt like it would work though, and it did/does... to a certain degree. It blows the tiiiiniest of dust particles off the surface of the keyboard, if they aren't caught on another piece of dust, but that's about it. It won't blow anything at all out from under the keys. At least, mine won't.
I think the vacuum might sort-of-work if you take the brush off and place the end flat against the keys, or the screen, but that sounds somewhat destructive on the screen.
Unfortunately for me, I threw the packaging away at the home where I opened it so I didn't think I could return it. (If you know different, I would love to hear that I still can still could)
The description of the vacuum on all of the sites I checked (5-7 of them) list it as, "A high-powered, 3-way..." I'm sorry (and I really am!), but that just isn't true for mine. The only thing "high-powered" about this vacuum (that I can see) is the description...
Twenty-five dollars may not sound like much but, to us, it is, and my husband feels badly because he bought this gift for me that doesn't do the job it's supposed to. I still keep turning it on, hoping it will all-of-a-sudden do what it's supposed to do :)
Live and learn from other's purchases.
As I said before (to give this vacuum the benefit of the doubt), it could be that I did just happen to get a lemon, but I wouldn't reccommend this vacuum to you. There has to be a better machine out there, which isn't overly expensive. I'm going to find it; I still want a vacuum for my computer! :)
I hope I have given you enough information (albeit, negative) to help you find the best computer vacuum for you. On the positive side, the manufacturer included the rechargable batteries, the power cord, the little charging station, which is pretty cool because it holds the attachments very nicely, and the clear blue plastic is really cool.
I'm such an optimist... I've got the thing charging again to see if it will do something this time. :)
Have a nice day, and I hope you find a good product.
