Dust Blower for Cleaning PC

[dennis91]

yes, provided you dont return the stuff back to amazon... but i'm still contemplating if it's a good move lah.... will they take action if you dun return their stuff to them ?

Yea I already have a transformer so it's basically free for me.
They did ask me to return item (not that I mind) but I really don't have the time for all these hassle (just worked 18 hours yesterday).

Told them not to make their problem my problem (army eh!) and they agreed to refund without me shipping it back.

Oh, you had a 1000+ W step down? Those are pretty heavy and not cheap. Maybe costs as much as the blower.

For the rest who are considering to repeat the same move, I think dennis said they have fixed the description to 120 V.

i did the sums and it's not worth it to get a separate transformer...

The blower is $80sgd 120v... after buying transformer it's going to cost about the same as buying a 220v from Amazon or B&H

can i also check, this thing is rated 500w, if i get a 300w step down, what does it mean? I can still operate it right ? but it will not be as powerful ?

Not unless this thing has lower speed that consumes << 300w. Else your step down will overheat and do one of the following depending on quality and safety features.
- auto shut down
- self destruct
- start a fire

thanks for the tips.. so die die must use 500w one ?

Is the following ok ? still quite expensive considering the weight and after conversion. better to go SLTower to check

SIMRAN Step Down Transformer THG-500 - Transformer - AC 220/230 V - 500 Watt - Amazon.com

110v is for US usage, 220v is for UK/SG usage. U try use 110v in SG wall socket, can sing katy perry 'fireworks'.

Bosch GBL 800E

Sibei satki.
SGD123.50 Only.
1 min and at least 95% of the dust in my pc casing gone liao.

Tested it on my Deskfan and works efficiently as well.

High Recommend it.

I try to use it like a feather duster and blow all the dust away.
Now jialat all the dust on the floor need to vaccum and mop liao.

 

[abbnic]

Can switch on a vacuum cleaner on the other side of your dust blower while you do the dusting?

Anyway with such a powerful blower, does it damage ur case fans?

It is not recommended to let your fans spin while dusting your PC.
Hold the fan with your finger so it doesn't spin.

use compress air + normal house vacuum vs using this dust blower.

Anyone have any advice?

Hard to reach use Cotton buds? Especially GPU fans..

 

[fleas1]

correct me if I am wrong; the reason why people do dust blower is because even though vacuuming is idea, it produces static from the dust/dirt being sucked in which will cause problem with electronic products.
