An electric duster is not a one-to-one replacement for compressed air. Compressed air cans come with a thin plastic straw that comes in real handy when trying to get into very hard to reach places, and that’s just really hard to replicate. But what my duster lacks in precision, it makes up for in sheer power and cost savings. You don’t have to ration your electricity the way you do canned air, so it becomes very useful for making casual, quick cleaning sweeps. At its highest setting, this thing blasts away. You can knock stuff off of your nightstand at a distance with this bad boy.

I’m not trying to be a cheapskate here, but a can of compressed air costs like five bucks, and I got air at home. Like, a whole lot of it, just floating around, not paying rent. Can’t I just shove that into a can? I think you see where this bit is going.

Our award-winning, hands-on science tools and datalogging solutions connect your students directly to science and STEM concepts with classroom technology such as sensors, interfaces, and data collection and analysis software. We also design and manufacture high quality lab equipment for physics and engineering and offer curriculum solutions (textbooks, e-books, and integrated lab technology) for physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science, and K-8 Science.

For the chemistry lab we have the equipment you need: test tubes, ring stands, pH meters, digital microscopes, and much more. We also have test kits for environmental sciences and science kits for electricity, waves, machines, and more.

I have always had a complicated relationship with canned compressed air. For a neat freak, it’s a vital tool. It keeps your keyboards clean, it blasts dust out of your gaming PC, and it gets gunk out of those hard to reach parts of devices. It’s an invaluable tool, an ally — heck, even a friend.

Two stationary carts are against each other with the plunger cocked on one of the carts and the plunger is released so the carts explode apart. Momentum is conserved.

I was ambiently aware of the XPower a while ago because I looked up various methods for keyboard cleaning (including this weird goo). I had seen it on the shelf at Micro Center and, like many things in that wonderful store, I thought, “Wow, that sure does sound really useful. I should buy that sometime.” Micro Center stocks two similarly priced models — this one and an almost identical-looking model, both of which are also available on Amazon — but I went with the latter because it had the word “cyber” on the box and, thus, was better. It turned out to be so good that I immediately sold several friends on it, including my friend who works at a cafe and needs to clean up coffee grounds all the damn time. They also make it in a bunch of fun colors, and the same company makes heavier-duty models specifically for pet grooming that are available through XPower and Amazon.

Get an electric duster. It’ll clean your computer, it’ll clean your home, and hell, it may even clean your very soul. (Warning: individual souls may vary.)

Essential Physics and Essential Chemistry were developed by our team of educators, scientists, and curriculum developers to provide students with modernized textbooks that educators can afford. Both programs include a student textbook, e-book, digital teacher resources, lab manuals, and equipment kits.

For the educational physics lab we invented carts and tracks, which are now standard teaching tools used worldwide. Our technology leadership continues with the award-winning Smart Cart, which removes the wires while providing new ways to study kinematics on and off the track. We also carry just about all laboratory supplies, from rods, clamps, and Ohaus balances to mass and hanger sets and laboratory glassware. See our full offering of lab supplies.

What began as a science fair project has become a trusted source for high quality school laboratory equipment in the United States and around the globe. We carry lab supplies for your physics classroom and chemistry lab, as well as supplies for biology, life science, engineering, and environmental science. Request a catalog!

Update January 18th, 6:52PM ET: This post has been updated with Amazon links to several products, including XPower’s A-2S Electric Duster.

As the name implies, it is also a duster, which does not sound as important until you realize how much dust is inside the average human home. It’s a lot, and it loves hiding in places. I have a significant dust allergy, so I am anal when it comes to air quality. For a fun time, put an N95 mask on, turn on your air purifier of choice (I have a Coway Mighty because that’s the one everyone collectively agreed to buy), and go hog wild on the hard to reach places in your room of choice. You will be shocked by the amount of revolting gunk that you will discover in your house and how much the basic air quality will improve.

If my tone has been a little cheeky in this post, it’s because it’s hard to overstate just how much I use this guy. I’m constantly reaching for it while doing projects. In the span of writing this post, I blasted decades of gunk out of an old eBay VCR using my XPower. I feel like a corny TV pitchman right now, but it really is that useful.

Say hello, dear reader, to the XPower A-2S Cyber Duster. I want to tell you how much I love this little guy. I love it more than most tools in my home. I love it more than I love some of my relatives. Imagine, if you will, a tiny vacuum cleaner but in reverse. It’s a pretty straightforward concept. It has two power settings (pretty powerful and very powerful), a brush attachment, and a shorter nozzle that I can’t find right now but is probably in the cabinet where I keep all of my tools. It is an absolute game-changer.

As an enthusiast for introducing STEM to classrooms to prepare students for future careers in related fields, Rachelle spoke highly of PASCO.

I am constantly surprised by the number of people who do not have an electric duster, but everyone who has converted sings their praises. Jess Weatherbed doesn’t have the XPower but has a CompuCleaner and noticed a similar improvement in basic air quality. Another person online recommended the Metrovac DataVac ESD (a duster meant specifically for data centers) since at least one of Metrovac’s models also functions as a vacuum cleaner. I have not had a chance to do extensive side-by-side testing with these models, but I would bet those things blow pretty hard, too.

When last we saw our brave heroes, the small band of Rebel Bots successfully evaded capture. They now head to a PASCO supply base to regroup and decode the contents of the stolen plans. Join them on the next installment of their adventure!
