Hurricane X3 Compressed Air Duster

I purchased as an upgrade to a Hurricane I bought five years ago, so I already knew I love the product. I always keep it within easy reach; a must have for me for so many reasons. ANYWHERE you have dust or pet dander, the strong air flow wipes it out effortlessly. It's perfect for blowing off shelves/tabletops, appliances, light fixtures, laptops, speakers, fans, televisions... Granted dust does fall down and land again, but in conjunction with vaccuuming I don't see it as a problem. I use it outdoors to clean my window tracks, plus it blows off the fibers left behind after cleaning windows and mirrors. I enjoy art and crafts, painting, etc. and found it useful for certain projects but the strong air flow a little too much for some of the tasks. The variable speed model opened up a whole new list of uses for me and finding more each day. You start to become creative with ways you can use it. The Hurricane I bought previously still works good, maybe slightly weaker than the new one, but not by much. Now my mom has it and it's working great for her needs. This is one of those products you don't know you need until you have it. Made in the USA is another plus to appreciate. I believe that's why they don't wear out easily with as much use as they get. I recommend for any household took kit!

Worked great for about a year and one day it just completely stopped working.It always sat in the same spot in my office, never dropped, never got it wet or anything.It's possible it needs a new battery, but there's no way to replace it. I'd open it up to see if I can figure out what's wrong and try to fix it, but there are no screw holes or tabs, etc.Very disappointing, especially considering the cost and that they proudly display "made in the USA" on the page.

The unit blows air with enough volume and velocity to be suitable for air-in-a-can applications (e.g. removing dust from PCBs, blowing out keyboards, dusting AC louvers, etc.). It's loud (measured 90 dB at 12 inches from the motor, equivalent to a hair dryer) compared to canned air. There's a significant high frequency vibration during operation, which appears to be caused by the high speed of the motor. That's not a problem for the way I will use this, but I wouldn't want to hold it running for 15 minutes at a time. The accessories (extension tube, flex tube, and a reducer) are ill-fitting. The trigger is overly sensitive and the unit lacks a master on/off switch, so accidental activation is likely if it's stored with other things. A major benefit is that compressed air in this form factor is effectively free after about the 35th can's worth of use.

Ok we use a ton of canned air and the quality of the blower itself is great. The accessories are cheap and nearly useless. The two long tubes fit on the unit but do not fit each other or the brush or nozzle. The flex tube is better but all the tubes are about the quality of a straw from McDonald’s. The tube coming out of the unit is very short (~1/4”) so there is not much for the accessories to hold onto. A photo of our solution. Would be better is that connection was longer or threaded and had they spent about 25 cents making the accessories better quality

It's okay, very noisy, short battery life, but doesn't get hot fast which is nice. Though, I re-bought a pool toy inflator to test it against. The inflator is $10, and 50% more powerful with its smallest nozzle but gets hot fast (EZ Inflate 2.0PS!). And that's probably the biggest problem with this thing, the attachments need to be thinner to be more effective also the flexible one doesn't hold its position. I thought it would act like a bendy straw, it doesn't. Even the slightly narrow nozzle isn't powerful enough. The EasyGo is even better, but still wired at over 50% less though.In conclusion, I think the majority have a point. This isn't worth the ticket price. It's nice and convenient but a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It's about the size of an actual can of compressed air. The high pitched squeal it makes while running will drive your pets insane, it's still noisy. There are cheaper options that work better. If they come out with a smaller nozzle to increase pressure then it might make this tempting. I'm going to play around with the nozzle designs to see if I can't cobble something together. It will take care of fresh dust and crumbs, but "stale" dust is left unscathed.

I waited for a long time before writing a review on this air blower as I wanted to see how it held up, how it charged and whether it would last. I got this in November 2019 (it's now June 2020) and have been using it and recharging it consistently (about every two to three days) since then. First, I feel that it is a pretty good replacement for canned air; which I was using a lot of. The wind speed and spread are slightly different than the canned air but comparably good for the job. Recharging is easy and relatively quick. The only con so far is that the trigger now occasionally hesitates before catching and starting the air. Worrisome, for sure. I hope this lasts through the end of the year when, I figure, it will have paid for itself in comparison to using canned air.
