What size/amount of air does this contain? Would it be comparable to 10 oz of compressed air? Can it be used to clean cell phones/keyboards/etc.?

With each squeeze you get a strong poof of air. Strong enough to blow dust out of a camera, but I just tried it on my keyboard and all it did was blow away a few specks of surface dust. It doesn't have enough oomph to blow anything up and out of the keyboard. And each poof is just a split second in duration.

The "bulb" portion is approximately 4" tall and 2-3" across. The pressure of the air it delivers is minimal; I can literally blow air out harder than this. It does not hold pressurized air such as a can of compressed air. Would not recommend this product at all. It's like trying to use a squeaky toy to blow air.

Air is generated by the user by squeezing the rubber bulb. Therefore the force of the air being generated depends on the amount of force in squeezing the bulb. It is not as forceful as canned air, but is sometimes that is a good thing when working with delicate equipment. You would probably want to stick to canned air for keyboards.

I would imagine so. I good squeeze lets out a solid blast if air. Maybe not quiet as strong, steady stream as compressed air. I use for cleaning lens and its perfect.

for loose dust sure, but do not count on it for sticky stuff, you're better off with compressed air cans.

Hello Thomas D,I don't know the volume of air required. Sorry, I can't say if it would do that job or not. Good luck.

Hi Mac,It's just a powerful standard hand vac.--no blowing of air so far as I know.

You really want an airpot for something like that, as opposed to this. This item is really designed for water only. If you put something else in I would assume it would still work, BUT would most likely dramatically reduce the lifespan of the device. There are also many parts that can't be cleaned. It's not an issue with water, but if you put in something like hot chocolate, it would kind of cook in, and probably kill it fairly quickly.

This multi-purpose fan is a great product at a great value. I can't say how effective it would be when used in a mobile scenario. It's designed as a stationary multi-purpose fan (floors, carpet, room cooling e.g.). I hope that helps.

I used this to power my laptop and other electronics that I used when I worked out of my car. You can say it was used a min of 6 hrs a day constantly. Is it powerful enough to run a air pump, I cannot say.

+1 for compressed air....cans are $10 for 2 or 3 at frys, target, walmart....order from amazon if need be. Hit the fan once a week or every couple days and blow the foreign matter right outta there. This is what we do

The Personal Ionic Air Purifier--Black is a bit larger and seemed to have greater output. One thing for sure though, it lasted longer the the mini_Mate. It is what I always used when traveling, going to movies etc.

Unknown, however, if you use a air compressor with at least 100 psi, you can blow most of the dust off. Works great for laptops too. If you blow a lot of dust out of fan, try a little wd 40 spray. Probably won't hurt. I am still using mine, but need a lap pillow because of rough edges. The usb ports come in handy sometimes. Somedays it starts up loud, but that usually subsides. Happy New Year.

You can try, I suspect you will have to re-pressurize frequently. It works great with "Ballistol" (and probably other fluids!). The regular "dust busters" have a chloro-hydrocarbon that has a "dust cleaner (refrigerant-based propellant cleaner, which is not compressed air and incorrectly called "canned air") containing difluoroethane; it is used to remove particulates and dust from computers and electronic equipment. Dust-Off products are used to remove dust, debris, fingerprints, and smudges from hard to reach areas of keyboards, screens, and other components of electronic equipment." The liquid vaporizes at room temperature and provides the "blast", compressed air will lose pressure quickly, as it is not replenished.

I do not recommend it. I always use Air-Cans and what not. I use this for cleaning mice, keyboards, etc.

I used compressed air, works great! Canned air works well, but if you have access to an air compressor--it's way more effective.

hello, why would you use it for anything other than cleaning photographic items? for the size, it would be the most expensive household cleaner in the universe. the warning is there for a purpose... don't use it for purposes other than cleaning photographic items... EMULSION

This product is a keyboard case, and the two parts cannot be separated. I don't know if it works with the Air, but I doubt it would. The case fits snug, and size would be a factor.

Sorry, this is only an air compressor. It is an ideal device for use in the office. This model is particularly suitable for dental student's practice purpose.

I use a compressor because of the extra pressure but if you don't have one the compressed air in a can that you are already using is the only option. Words of caution, just don't shake it first and make sure to keep it upright otherwise the liquid will come out into your keyboard. If you only spray the air while it is sitting flat you may not be getting everything out of the keyboard. I like to turn mine upside down and rotate on all sides to make sure everything has a chance to come out. If any liquids (soda, coffee, libations, etc) have been spilled into the keyboard then the compressed air or air compressor may not work for you, you may need to replace the keyboard. There are plenty of places online to purchase a replacement keyboard and instructions to get it done. They can usually be found for under 25 bucks. Takes about 45 minutes or less and just about anyone can do it with the online instructions. Hope this helps Dave
