Customer Review: A Must Have If You Own A Computer
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have a computer then you know they get dusty. It's just going to happen, no matter what you do. Things like cameras also get dust build up. Sometimes you might be tempted just to blow the dust off with your own breath, but it's a really bad idea since you'll introduce moisture which is often deadly to electronics.
I use these fairly regularly to blow dust out of the laptop cooler and laptop fan on my wife's computer, but be really careful when you use it on a fan. If you blow on the fan and let it spin at high speeds, you can potentially damage the motor and ruin the fan. Many aren't meant to go that fast. You can use a Q-tip or even your finger sometimes to keep the fan from spinning as you spray the air over it. Works great. Oh yeah, and it goes without saying, but make sure the computer is OFF when you're using this stuff to clean it. If you make a moving computer fan go backwards you're begging for a busted fan motor.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with "huffing", but it usually refers to the practice of breathing in fumes from aerosol cans, though I think you can "huff" things like gasoline for a "high". I'm not sure if the media is making it bigger than it is, but it's one of the ways that teens can get "high" with something readily available to them. I appreciate that Falcon goes out of their way and adds a bitterent that makes the air taste bad (they say, I haven't tasted it) so kids won't want to use it. I know it's only a minor selling point, but I think it shows some social responsibility and could be important to some parents.
My only real problem with these things is probably something that cannot be fixed. After using them for a while, the can will get EXTREMELY cold, we're talking frost forming on it cold, and will stop blowing out with any pressure. You can just wait a while for it to warm back up and use it again. Perhaps put it in the microwave to speed things up...No, that probably isn't a good idea. When it's cold, you really have to watch where you set the can. I had it "burn" a circle in a piece of wood furniture. It wasn't just a stain to wipe off, it was a permanent mark. My own fault for being stupid though.
One other thing, don't tilt the can. The purpose of that little red straw thing that's taped to the can is so you can angle it a little bit. If you tilt the can, you're likely to spray the liquid out onto your computer, sensitive electronics, or yourself. It evaporates quickly, but you could damage a component. Just keep the can mostly level or at like a 45 degree incline and you'll be fine. Short burst work best. You can squeeze a little life out of a can that's got no pressure by using it briefly, letting it warm, then using again, but toss the cans when you've got no pressure left.
