O2 Hurricane Compressed Air Duster

For a while now I have been looking for a hand held system to take the place of canned air. One might ask, "Why not use one of the air compressors that you own?" If I was always in my workshop using my pressure controlled units that would be fine, but since I do not have an air system running throughout my home, even using my little portable air compressor is a problem. When I need to clean out dirt and dust from different pieces of mechanical and electronic equipment canned air was handy. However canned air added an unneeded expense and I was constantly running out of it at the most inopportune time, even when buying it by the case. Now that I have located the O2 Hurricane Special Edition 220+ MPH and it's unit price at the time was what I considered reasonable, I did not hesitate in buying it. In the evaluations I saw about this unit, some of the people were complaining that the air pressure produced by the older units were not as strong as the canned air. As far as the older units are concerned I do not know. Quite frankly, I feel that the pressure coming out of canned air is too strong especially when using it around delicate pieces. Canned air also leaves condensation after using it only for a few seconds. I feel that the O2 Hurricane puts out just enough air to safely blow out everything that I work on. From printers, (Both laser and inkjet), copiers, ten-keys, typewriters, computers, keyboards, mice, VCR and/or DVD recorder/players, turntables, cassette players, etc, a little air from the O2 Hurricane and I could immediately run a test to see if dirt had been or is the problem. I do not have to worry about the O2 Hurricane causing damage to the equipment I am working on and I could test the equipment immediately after using it. If you are looking for a cordless (When in use), hand held, simply to use, reusable piece of equipment to replace canned air, the O2 Hurricane Special Edition 220+ MPH, in my opinion, is what you are looking for. I am very happy with my unit so far. It is doing a great job in helping to maintain the equipment I work upon and I would recommend it to anyone in need of portable compressed air. I will add further information concerning this unit, if I find it to be pertinent.

I was getting tired of using compressed air cans, as they're expensive, terrible for the environment, and just a pain in the ass to use. This unit, while a bit pricey, is 100% worth it to replace them forever. First off it's made by an American company, which I'm always happy to support, and second off, it's just good at its job. The blowing power was perfect for my needs, and I loved that it was always consistent, instead of dropping off super quick like canned air did. The unit is pretty loud, which is the main drawback I found (I definitely can't use it at night), but otherwise I'm super happy with my purchase. For those on the fence over the price, remember that it's covered by a lifetime warranty! Meaning you buy this thing once, and you'll never have to buy a compressed air can again. If you're a frequent user of compressed air (like myself), this will save you a lot of money in the long-term. Highly recommended!

Good product. The Hurricane blows fast enough air to compete with canned dusters. My critiques: 1. It's a bit plasticky feeling. Something more robust would be nice given the price. 2. It's 2026. The unit should have a USB-C port for charging. 3. It should be disclosed more that the unit is loud. The noise is understandable given the motorized design, but the marketing avoids mentioning it. Note: This is a short-term review. God forbid, but if it breaks in 3 months, I'll try to come back to update.

Well, if it would have lasted... I emailed the Canless Air company mid March 2015 because it wouldn't charge anymore. (one year and one month after the purchase, it was shipped Feb. 2, 2014) They refused to replace my device. They offered a 15% discount, but a lot of good that does me. I recharged it 4 times. I work at a school and we are off at least 3 months out of the year. They refused to work with me. I am very disappointed because this is so much safer than using chemical canned air around students. I emailed back asking again for a replacement and got no response. This is my second purchase. The first one quit working within the first year. The company replaced that one. Very disappointed...

We have been using the 10oz compressed air cans to clean out our iRobot Roomba. They have been working satisfactory but if you hold it down for 30 seconds or more, the can gets chilled and thus reducing the air pressure. Making it a real PITA. This has the same pressure with no limitations on how long to use it. Cleaned out the Roomba several times (more than 7) so far and still appears to have full charge. We have used it probably 90 to 120 seconds of continuous blowing each time. This would have been impossible using canned air. A little noisy, but who cares if it works. We do not have babies who would be sleeping.

I wouldn't know if the product is any good because the one I got was DOA. Charged it for 12 hours and still no signs of life. It took many tires to contact the company to arrange for a replacement and finally I got ahold of their head of marketing who promised an new one would be expedited to me along with confirmation email. He also said that the company would arrange to have the broken unit picked up. Later I received an email from the amazon marketplace asking me to print out a label and return the item. The email also stated that when they received the product that a new one would then be shipped out. The customer service for this company is awful, if I ever receive a working unit I will update my review. *update* I did finally receive a new unit that does work. Inspecting the new one it is heavier and there seems to be a battery where there was nothing on the other unit. I suspect that the first one I received did not come with a battery. Now that it is working it works pretty well. It will clean a CPU fan and is pretty nice for clearing loose dust from shelves and knickknacks between dusting. The unit makes a lot of high pitched noise but certainly lasts a while between charges. The unit does move a lot of air pretty fast but nowhere near the kind of velocity that canned air produces. The volume of air however is greater making the air pressure less harsh on delicate items while still moving plenty of dust. I really love this device for dusting my fantasy minis which are delicate and can actually be damaged by canned air.

Never buy canned air again. I use this on my job. Powerful and rechargable.

Lasted for almost two years before it finally stopped working. This product is not as good as compressed air. Don't fall for the claims of "220+ MPH Special Edition" name, it's all marketing hype. It can't match the effectiveness of compressed air. I don't recommend using this to dust off a computer as the stream is not strong enough to blow the dust stuck in crevices such as the CPU heat sink and computer fans. It can blow away large dust bunnies in a computer case, but that task is pointless since you can do just as well by blowing air yourself. This product is ear piercingly LOUD! It easily matches the sound of a lawn mower and the effect is even worse since you will have this device close to you. I live on in apartment and had to drag my computer in the stairway to use it or otherwise aggravate my roommate and neighbors. The battery life is very short. I let the device charge overnight and I get about 15 mins of use before it's all done. It makes no sense why this is a portable device if the battery life is so short. Okay so why didn't I give this one star? One it does match the claim in that it's rechargeable, so in the long run you will save money albeit with a product that is inferior to cheap compressed air cans. Second, I can see that this device will be useful if you need to clean dust off temperature sensitive things like antiques or plants, that would otherwise get damaged by cold compressed air. Which brings me back to the point of why buy this? You can just blow dust off yourself and do it just as well. Hey and guess what your lungs are environmentally friendly, rechargeable and FREE.

Like other people have commented, this is very noisy, however it does its job very well (blowing out dust). Furthermore, unlike compressed air cans which tend to cool when operated and possibly leaving moisture on delicate electronic components., this electric air blower will only blow room temperature air. It comes with two straws which are identical. My only wish is that they would have included different diameter straws (at the tip) so that you could "dial up" the volume or pressure of the air.

Great

El producto es muy bueno, expulsa aire mucho mejor que varios aires comprimidos del mercado, es algo ruidoso pero en general lo recomiendo.

We decided to purchase this product to reduce costs in the office. The machine does better then can air and will be our replacement now. The only downfall to this product is the sound it makes, it sounds like a jet taking off. I recommend ear plugs when using. Other then that all in all a good product.

UPDATED - final - I forgot to edit my review - the SECOND one in 6 months died of the same problem - poor quality control and/or cheap parts (impeller again). And forget any 2 year warranty. My bad - PLEASE Ignore my original comments. With full charge this unit works just fine for the $'s :) Have to be careful where the exhaust goes - that'll empty an ashtray too. It is as loud as a cheap vacuum . . . and it needs better nozzles that could increase the pressure a lot but . . . I would buy another one if this one lasts at least a year. RECOMMENDED with few reservations. ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
