One of MetroVac’s big selling points for the DataVac is that it is a “green” alternative to compressed air. There is quite a lot of talk about how bad compressed air can be for the environment, but we thought we would investigate further ourselves. Honestly, there is no comparison between the DataVac ESD and a normal can of compressed air. The DataVac is so much better (and it should be given the price) and it definitely lives up to the hype which can be more than said of a lot of cleaning products out there. You can read more about the environmental impact of compressed air cans here. What are the Specifications of the DataVac ESD?According to MetroVac the DataVac ESD “is an innovative, green equipment duster”, but we prefer to call it a mini leaf blower for your delicate bits. We won’t bore you too much with the tech specs, so see the table below for all the information you need to know about peak power, CFM, etc. Construction: We not only found the DataVac ESD excellent for use on electronics such as keyboards, PCs, ect., but it was also really useful on our vehicles as well. Cleaning in-between crevices and around small storage compartments that are more difficult to clean with a vacuum cleaner works really well. To get the best clean, we found that using the DataVac first and then following up with a vacuum works really well. We even used the DataVac to blow off water after doing an exterior wash as well, although this probably isn’t worth doing as it takes a bit of time. Before and After

Using the DataVa is about as simple as can be in all honesty. Once you have fitted a nozzle/attachment and plugged the DataVac in, simply press the button on the left side and the duster roars into life.You also don’t have to worry about liquid coming out of the nozzle or shaking it up like you do with compressed air, so that’s another bonus. Still, an electric duster is a great investment financially and you’re doing your part to help the Earth. Now I just wish I had invested in one sooner instead of using canned air for all those years. Thankfully, if you’ve made it this far, you might not make the same mistake I did.

The DataVac is definitely a more environmentally friendly product in that it only requires electricity and air to run, not harmful propellants. However, if we are adding manufacturing into the equation a single compressed air can is probably less harmful than a DataVac, but overtime the electric duster will be much better for the environment.

The MetroVac DataVac® ESD Safe Electric Duster® is a compact yet unbelievably powerful computer and equipment duster. Unlike traditional canned air blowers, it features greener power that is more eco-friendly than alternate options on the market. Its green energy source means the ED-500 is more effective and cost-efficient when compared to other models.
