 Great value September 7, 2010
B. Blodgett
This was a great value for a lot of compressed air. I like the plastic straw that can be bent to blow out hard to reach areas without turning the can upside down which can spray liquid out.
Good value for the can size! August 12, 2010
Guy Owen (USA)
I have bought these several times as the Purchaser for a large company. They are a good value for the money when you consider the volume of air is 12-oz. Be careful of comparing cheaper prices to 10-oz. or 8-oz. varieties.
I do not know what the controversy is over these, but they deserve 5 Stars. At $30.95 and Free Shipping, that comes to $5.16 Per Can, delivered. Every other place I've tried has smaller cans, or a minimum order of $75 or a delivery / shipping fee of $8 or $12 or $17.
Maybe you can buy them cheaper at a local store -- I haven't seen too many sales this good. Plus, you have to drive there, or in the case of Costco, pay a hefty Membership Fee and fight long lines at Checkout. Just a thought.
 Decent product but exaggerated pricing August 4, 2010
w1cked
Decent product but should not really cost 31.95$ - what I paid for. Shipping was free but I don't recommend getting this product due to the price.
Edit 8/5/2010: I received a phone call from one of this company's - The e^Basement - employee by the name of John Oracle who was rather scathing and insulting in his manner of speak. What he told me was that this is the cheapest price - which is not, you can get a product like this for Costco for 22.00$ including tax. Other places will offer similar prices if you just search outside the mainstream. Although Mr. Oracle seemed quite certain that such a product will not be cheaper, even offering a refund on the price difference. However, when I sent several links - just online, cheaper prices are in stores - I was ignored. The company selling this product should not be trusted, as believe you me, you'll find better prices and none of the attitude presented by the customer service.
A Must Have If You Own A Computer July 7, 2010
Veil_Lord (San Jose, CA)
If you have a computer then you know they get dusty. It's just going to happen, no matter what you do. Things like cameras also get dust build up. Sometimes you might be tempted just to blow the dust off with your own breath, but it's a really bad idea since you'll introduce moisture which is often deadly to electronics.
I use these fairly regularly to blow dust out of the laptop cooler and laptop fan on my wife's computer, but be really careful when you use it on a fan. If you blow on the fan and let it spin at high speeds, you can potentially damage the motor and ruin the fan. Many aren't meant to go that fast. You can use a Q-tip or even your finger sometimes to keep the fan from spinning as you spray the air over it. Works great. Oh yeah, and it goes without saying, but make sure the computer is OFF when you're using this stuff to clean it. If you make a moving computer fan go backwards you're begging for a busted fan motor.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with "huffing", but it usually refers to the practice of breathing in fumes from aerosol cans, though I think you can "huff" things like gasoline for a "high". I'm not sure if the media is making it bigger than it is, but it's one of the ways that teens can get "high" with something readily available to them. I appreciate that Falcon goes out of their way and adds a bitterent that makes the air taste bad (they say, I haven't tasted it) so kids won't want to use it. I know it's only a minor selling point, but I think it shows some social responsibility and could be important to some parents.
My only real problem with these things is probably something that cannot be fixed. After using them for a while, the can will get EXTREMELY cold, we're talking frost forming on it cold, and will stop blowing out with any pressure. You can just wait a while for it to warm back up and use it again. Perhaps put it in the microwave to speed things up...No, that probably isn't a good idea. When it's cold, you really have to watch where you set the can. I had it "burn" a circle in a piece of wood furniture. It wasn't just a stain to wipe off, it was a permanent mark. My own fault for being stupid though.
One other thing, don't tilt the can. The purpose of that little red straw thing that's taped to the can is so you can angle it a little bit. If you tilt the can, you're likely to spray the liquid out onto your computer, sensitive electronics, or yourself. It evaporates quickly, but you could damage a component. Just keep the can mostly level or at like a 45 degree incline and you'll be fine. Short burst work best. You can squeeze a little life out of a can that's got no pressure by using it briefly, letting it warm, then using again, but toss the cans when you've got no pressure left.
Stick with "bricks and mortar"! January 27, 2010

Shipping was more expensive than the price of the item purchased. In this instance, a more cost effective strategy would be: "bricks and mortar"!
