![[TiG] Review: MetroVac DataVac Pro MDV-1BA Computer Vac / Blower](/img/1.gif)
Put a small piece of scotch tape on your fans before using any sort of compressed air or electric duster. Shooting air at them will force the fans to spin way faster than they're designed and has a very high chance of causing damage to the bearings. (I've ruined 4 120mm fans by spraying them with duster.) Aside from that, you can properly clean dust off of them when they are stationary, though I usually use some rubbing alcohol and a paper towel anyway, since fans collect the most dust.
If you break a fan by blowing air on it, then you did yourself a favor, that fan was on its way out anyway.
Windmills in your PC. converting kinetic energy into electricity. Could be bad.
I know this is a four year old comment, but can't you just hold the fan stationary with a finger?
Edit: didn't see that he basically did it in the video
@@IShaderI Compressed air can blow multiple fans at once if you're not careful where you're aiming. I find it's best to just make sure that none of them can move before blasting them.
You can kill fans by spinning them the wrong way too much too apparently
Yeah, probably one scream would have been enough... ;-)
Agreed
Yeah
it was the best part :)
not bad vid but REALLY need to hold your fans when you blow on then like that. Dont let them soin on their own ever because it will destroy the bearings
yep no bearings, no silence
Thank you for this, I would’ve DESTROYED my bearings :)
wha? they spin faster normally? i think using this monthly would prevent any sticky dust. i want one!
i feel like the dust is coming right thru the screen
I actually could smell it.
Have one for over a year now .. very handy and not just for the PC's.
Watching him clean old duty makes my eyes dry out!
This dude sounds like korg from Thor ragnarok
Hahhahaha omfg
Lol..... Cheers
Taika Waititi
lets print enough pamphlets this time then! REVOLUTION!
Great video. But unplug your fans when cleaning them. Also stop them spinning. Allowing them to spin freely can destroy them and not unplugging them, can damage the motherboard.
Don't know where you got those computers, but dude my whole body itches now, disgusting!
bro quit don't act like u never had a pc/desktop that has been dusty as fuck.
I'm going to buy one. My PC is almost as bad as ol dusty and it needs to be cleaned asap.
Hopefully the instructions don't say to connect the anti static strap to the painted surface at the bottom.
Hmmm is the silver screw where you're supposed to attach the grounding strap's alligator clip? (Perhaps similar to a turntable preamp grounding post, you're supposed to undo the screw enough for the alligator clip to bite down on the screw threads.)
Good Lord "Ole Dusty" had a gang of dust bunnies in there yikes on another note ....G'day mate put another shrimp on the barbie
Great video! I'm curious, does your leak air from the middle of the can where the silver screw is. I'm not sure if that supposed to happen. Thanks!
The screams on old dusty made me laugh 😜 great review! Really glad I came across your channel, thanks 😁🇨🇦
Don't let your fans free spin with that blower. hold them while you do it. It may sound cool, but you run the risk of damaging them. Bearings don't like it very much. I've seen bearings explode from free spinning! Fan blades too! Just so you are aware.
Thanks, and good review otherwise!
He did hold them tho...
If they spin a little that's not gonna damage them at all
I use one of these at work, it's awesome.
You have to use the ground strap clip on the silver screw at least back it out a little put the alligator clip on it then tighten it down, putting the clip on a painted surface will make it useless..
Just bought one from PCCG and spent a lovely day blowing the crap out of my pc and office.
Score one for Aussie youtubers.
why did you use the wide tip use the narrow tip does much better,
those things heat up a good bit after a few min too btw, works very well on tight spaces when using the narrow tip
The narrow tip doesn't make the air pressure stronger. I have one myself and have tried those. All it does is make the airflow weaker and it takes double the time to remove all the dust plus the whole unit gets really warm due to the slow airflow through the motor. I'm surprised at all the RUclipsrs who use the small attachment. I guess they just had your logic and never tried the bigger one.
So this is just an air blower? There isn't an ionizer in it? So that grounding strap is enough to eliminate static being generated by that high speed high volume of air? BUt it doesn't eliminate static on the surface being cleaned, it just doesn't produce anymore than is already present? There are ionizer air guns in the paint industry to eliminate static on cars to be painted. The ionization process emilminates the static on the surface. Would an ionizing air gun be bad for cleaning computers and electronics?
The scream sound track in this video made my life. Subbed.
Pretty sure the antistatic wrist strap has to be hooked to the PC case, so the PC and you (and the duster) are on the same electrical level. You have your hand on the duster anyway so hooking the strap to the duster isn't going to do anything.
It’s got a three prong cord. Its grounded to earth 😂
Anyone wonder how someone can take so much care with tidy cable management and let dust accumalate on that 2nd pc?
What are your thoughts on XPower A-2 Airrow Pro vs MetroVac ED-500-ESD? Has the steel can design been a issue for you like the other reviews claim it has? Thanks!
The A-2 is superior in every way and half the price.
@@notavailable9919 which has more powerful blow?, The a-2 or metrovac?, Be honest cuz I don't know which to choose i don't care about the price
5:14 well that's a first. lol haven't heard that sound in a while. :D
I look forward to more videos
hey what do you think datavac or compu cleaner is there one better then the other?
sweet man, I been wanting to get one of the theses.
I'm not gonna lie they seem a little bit Overpriced but they seem to work very well not sure how long they last.
I've got a can or two of duster that shit's not cheap my tower needs to be cleaned right this second maybe ill order one.
Theres a cheaper one around $50 bucks different brand but does the job. If u already bought this one in the video, how is it?
Hi Mate, thanks for sharing this informative video on how to clean PC hardware. Because I am going to clean PC in hospital environment, obviously this way is not suitable for me to clean the PC in their ward area, even in their maintenance workshop, i don't think that I will be allowed to blow dust everywhere. Can you suggest an alternative way to clean the hardware in such infection controled area.
Take the PC outside?
Maybe that bright silver screw is to tell you that this is the 230V version instead of the 120V one.
2023 the bright silver screw is on 120 and 240V versions.
$220 and you can get an Amazon equivalent for $90 that’s a lot better with the Compucleaner 😂
paint brush is good for tight spots
could this be used to clean off your hair after you cut it on low speed setting？
Hi!.Where can I find this rotating table?.
IS that a microfibre cloth? Doesn't that produce a lot of static?
Get real about your review. Bought this from PC case gear. You should have mentioned some common concerns. Personally I concur that air seems to escape on the side of the can (where that silver screw is). This is is specially the situation when you try and use the smaller attachments. There is a lot of loss of air pressure because of this leak and quite frankly it’s not going to be useful for surgical cleaning of your pc. You’ll need a can of air for that.
The main attachment works well enough. It will blow out bulk dust. But I could have used a hairdryer for that.
Also, the machine gets hot after a few minutes of use.
This machine is overpriced
I am not generally impressed.
it does the job
Can we use this to clean laptops or laptop fan? Thanks.
What is that rotating platform called? Looks incredibly useful for large machines.
I think it's made to easily rotate food and condiments for dinner tables.
Ones used on dinner tables are called a 'Lazy Susan.' Bizarre I know. Great for this type of application, or more detailed work like model painting.
Can you tell me the product name ofthe test bench you have?
Hey new sub here , where did you buy the cloth you use to wipe down the rest of your pc, & is it anti-static. Also can you link where you bought it so I can pick up a few.
You can get the cloth litterally at any supermarket. Its called microfiber
I don't think that cloth is anti-static. ;x Microfiber cloths aren't if that's what it is.
What is this for a pc case? Looks juicy :o
I kept blinking bc of all the Dust. I literally thought it was coming at me. lol
wait, so there's no on/off switch on the device itself? have to power it straight from the power board/socket?
No, there is a power button just to the left hand side of the handle.
brought mine on 27/01/2022 still has that sliver screw lol
May as well just buy a leaf blower lol
It is shithouse,no power,a real ripoff at 149,feel like cutting my wrists after using it,was underwhelmed by it's low power which does sweet fuck all,I was told it can take off gunked on dust,no way,I could breathe harder than this thing,WARNING,stay away from this POS!
149$ for this small crap blower... just get a leaf blower 100 MPH Air flow with 480 CFM easy clean computer in 5 second..
love it now,I fdunno what happened,but my unit which warmed up early ,now is cool and with the crevice tool,works great .
I do use my leaf blower for my pc blower!!
This particular model is definitely a rip off, but I got the over version for half off which only had a stupid improvement as the only literal difference. But you can't just get a leaf blower, they're too powerful.
you give me jared from subway vibes
So pleasing to watch ☺ Ultimate ASMR experience 😄
Remove the fans first, unless you plan on replacing the motherboard and the fans.
You can buy the ED500 instead, just as safe as this and cheaper. I know people who have cleaned over 300 towers with the ED500 and none of them were ruined in any way. This whole "short circuit ESD-paranoia" has gone a little bit too far...
The ESD safe version would make more sense for dusting circuit boards that aren't screwed to a metal case like components in a PC, or to blow on bare components. Like in a electronic boards assembly room for example. I've been using the ED500 for years and never zapped a component while blowing the dust off a PC.
Just got one, it has the same odd screw in the same place
why are all "top 10" vids not list this one? its a American made product, its built to last and not the cheapest.
Best title ever
I take my computer outside and use my leaf blower. Why blow all that dirt inside your house when you can just take it outside. The leaf blower is three times more powerful.
That one odd screw would bug the crap outta me... Quality Control get your act together!
is It a diff between this one and the old
No, I have the old one and the only difference is that the one he has is a different color (black) while the older one is white. The newer one also has another attachment that didn't come with the old one. And that is the attachment he used in the video.
Grounding to your self is just plain wrong. Unless your grounded too
Your pc, honestly scared being open like that.
3:53 JESUS CHRIST THAT IS SPIDER WEBS OOOOOO HOW THE HECK DID YOU LET THAT IN THERE
Nice CAPS
Just put on your noise-cancelling headphones.
Looks a little weak for me. My compressor will blow the dust into the next county and I don't have to use a rag to wipe it down. Anyhow, don't think so!
its really strong it blows the dust out of my pc easily
200$ in the link......Yeah, no I think I'll find somethinf cheaper
3:41 lol
LOL, you do NOT need to use the anti static wrist band! Also, "old dusty" is obviously a smoker or lives in a garage. ROFL.
Good stuff
Dear lord in heaven please stop those fans from spinning!
Bruh I can feel the dust coming off the pc
Jesus look at those dust bunnies run 😂
I covered my face as I'm watching
For 219$ there is air compressors
Looks too weak compare to Air Compressor.
it's literally a hair dryer without the heat lol
lol, didn't give a fk about the fans in his friends computer.
It doesn't suck, but it blows!
i looked up the price of this thing and stopped the video... nope nope nope
149$ really dude !!
It's syfuh!
hey you missed a spot
well i guess you should clean your pc more often than every 3 years so dust will not fusion itself to the components
7:13. Am I the only one who gets triggerd by the fact that his whole pc is in a red theme. Except the RAM sticks and cpu cooler?
You should just pressure wash that pc
150$ ? No fucking way
Doesn't look that strong tbh.
keyboards will loose their keys ^w^
Way too expensive
Cringy cuts.
You don't do nearly as good of a job holding the fan for your mate's rig. Ol Dusty. you just let those fans spin and spin and spin. You tried slightly for the front fans but not really. Not nearly as much as you did for your own.
Doesn't matter anyway. Several people have tested the theory that spinning the fans while cleaning a computer will hurt anything. Hell Carey Holzman has a video where he used a freaking leaf blower full blast on the fans and did absolutely nothing to them.
Yeah holding the fans to prevent damage is bs. I've never damaged a fan or made one stop working due to ''overspinning them'' I'm ready to pay for a new one if that happens. But so far in 10 years i haven't damaged a single one. This is just people online that spreads this lie and have never actually tried this themselfs.
The screaming was omega cringe my guy
an air compressor is $50. why bother with this?
Even better. get one of those silent air compressors ontop of sound insulating subwoofer foam and you got yourself something more powerfull and silent.
@Jayden Townsend wow i did not know this, thank you Jayden!
@Jayden Townsend Thanks Jayden
@@JesusIsUnstoppable Thanks Jesus
Just subbed then unsubbed when I saw that you don't reply to any comments (scrolled down a few pages)
Not everyone has time to do that and I honestly don't think he cares whether you're subbed to him or not
Just get a proper air compressor.
Goddamn ol dusty looool
I could say it... but I wont. HAHAHAHA!!
please slap your mate for letting his pc become "old dusty". XD. I like the blower but the price is over the top, 100$ is more realistic.
I bought my data vac for $60 here in the states.
Lmao @ old dusty
Your friend oughta be ashamed of himself
I am waiting china to copy this and sell it quarter price
