Can this potentially be used as a compressed air replacement to clean computer parts such as optical drives etc?

The straw extension that comes with comp air cans allow a much stronger puff that can be fit into or through small spaces. The rocket squeezy thing can't do that as well. So it depends on your setup. I use this thing for a much wider variety of dusting than I used comp air for, like dusting off the TV and computer screen, musical equipment, even cursory dustings of my desk.

Yes... I've used it in many other electrical devices such as a Open Playstation Drive and.. Knowing it's pure air I have no fear of freeze, or other wet issues...

I would think that cleaning computer parts with the above mentioned 'Rocket Air Blaster' would work well. I think it could replace the 'canned compressed air' for some applications, although the 'canned compressed air' produces a much stronger blast. The picture on the back of the package shows computer cleaning as another use of the product. I use it for blowing dust off of old 35 mm photographic slides and also to keep the bed of a 'flat bed scanner' clean.

Although I have not used it for this purpose I suppose it could be used where lower pressure bursts may be useful or even desired. Compressed air cans are going to provide a much stronger stream of air than the Rocket Air Blaster simply because the amount of air held in its bulb does not allow for strong or extended air bursts. If you are looking to remove dust from a small area or one that requires a gentler burst this could work well.

Excellent question. It is not as strong as compressed air but it does a great job of blowing away most dust particles that accumulate in my computer. I used it just last night to disperse some dust while installing a new SSD. I was pleasantly surprised again by how well it worked.

it is good for lens but not for optical drives ( depends on the dust in ur neighbourhood)

It is not as strong as a can of compressed air. It is sorta strong puffs. It would be good for specs of dust in a small area. For something big... and not a camera lens, I would lean toward compressed air.

I would imagine that would work fine. It produces about 30 in of vacuum, for your reference.

I do not believe so. Units like this are designed to provide air for applications like air nailers, that do not require a large volume of air in a short period of time. I believe you should shop for a unit that is designed to handle the volume of air you require. I have seen people try to use units like this one for high air volume demand applications, and it either does not work or they work the little unit to death.

It would work ok, but there are cheaper options. This is a true hepa vac for very fine particles.

It's really too small to do anything, I really haven't gotten much use out of it at all on anything but my laptop keyboard really. A ton of better alternatives for cleaning inside a PC like air or anything.

I think you could probably do so without any adverse issues. Clean up might be challenging. I use it to spray stoddards solvent, ie. paint thinner, to clean airplane parts on the airplane. Thinned paint wouldn't be muchmdifferert.

It worked fairly well, i had to clean it several times though..and be careful because it would get caught on the inside.. i would think canned air might work better.

Yes. You can use the fine brush nozzle tip for directing the air stream under the keyboards. Otherwise, just use the other blower nozzles at a good distance to blow the general surface dust off without putting too much air pressure on the screen.

This is an air purifier first and foremost. However, if the fan setting is high enough, I guess it "could" accommodate your needs, but I would not "suggest" it.

Umm, seriously? Hello? Air powered tools require compressed air. Duh If you have another source of compressed air other than an air compressor, go for it.

It will do it, but the compressor will just run a lot more to replenish the air if you have of lot cleaning to do with it.

Yes. the "O2 Hurricane" that I have is quite safe for dusting any devices or surfaces that I've used it on. I cannot attest to their claim of (220+ MPH), because to my touch the "O2 Hurricane" has a somewhat lower PSI output then a Standard can of Compressed air such as "Dust Off" ,However so far it works well. The only drawback for me is that the devise is very noisy when operating due to it's high speed compressor motor.

It will work if it has adequate space. The purified air comes out of the top of the machine so you want it to have room to flow freely or it kind of defeats the purpose of having it. :)

ok.....it is not a vacuum.....it is a high powered "duster". it blows...out a narrow or broader blast of air.....it is great for my computer and many other devices where an (intake) vacuum would not do job. for me, it completely replaces buying expensive "canned" air....david cornwell

I should be able to be used on any air purifier if cut to fit. It can also be washed and vacuumed but since this is activated carbon this will not reactivate it but it will clean out the dust and particulates that have collected. For filtering particulates and dust as well as pollen, this is a very rough filter and would not replace most filtering mechanisms especially not something like a HEPA filter. The primary job of this media is to remove volatiles, primarily associated with odors. I use it to remove the smell from our kitty litter.

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

That is not really what it was designed for. It is used to redirect harmful fumes from solder/desoldering in an enclosed area. A large fan might suit your needs a bit better, and less expensive.
