  1. Deep Cleaning & Extensive Utilization: This OPOLAR duster tops the market by its capacity to produce a powerful thrust of air at almost 9 levels strong gale for deep cleaning of the microscopic dust of 0.9-1.1oz. Starting from printed circuit boards to electronic instruments, medical devices, and many more such areas can be cleaned by this mini duster which your traditional wiper or duster cannot clean.

  2. Easy Charging & High Reusability: Built-in 6000mAh batteries resulting in nearly 30 minutes of thorough usage. Its compatibility of getting charged via the USB-port makes it perfect for uninterrupted use. The common gas dusters had to be given up on because of its deformed bag after a few uses. Compared to that, this electric duster is highly reusable and is not restricted to charging.

  3. Fast Charging & Speedy Functionality: This air duster is specially designed to get charged faster with a 2A adapter (not included). With a reduced charging time of around 3 hours, its usability can be highly increased. Its motor allows the maximum rotating speed to reach up to 33000 RPM.

  4. Handy Design & Simple Operation: The device is structured with an extended full-palm gripping design and withdrawable nozzle keeping the handhold clear to let users grip it at their comfort.

  5. Eco-Friendly & Energy-Efficient: Saving gas and water has now become our primary responsibility. And to support this cause this device to be made highly environment-friendly as it allows more than 5000 times of use, resulting in saving a lot of energy. This mini duster is such a scientific device which keeps cleanliness hand in hand with eco-friendliness.

      I haven't had mine for that long, but it's good! Not giant air-compressor levels of pressure, but more than enough for cleaning my computer or the hard-to-reach spots in the car dash. The little brush head is nice, too! Battery life seems good.

            @CBrads4: Yeah, I am with the same opinion. I expected more. I would call this a deal at about $30.

            I definitely wouldn't pay $58

            • CBrads4 on 08/05/2022 - 11:03

              @TilacVIP: I'm quite happy with mine, but can definitely understand why people are disappointed - particularly after reading through this thread. I think I paid ~$40 for mine (close to your deal threshold) and would have definitely used more than that in cans of compressed air if I didn't have it. Use it almost daily to get cat hair out of my keyboards.

              Agree with you though. Definitely wouldn't buy one at this price, especially with the other alternative products that people are posting.

    Died after 6 months. Literally only used it 4 or 5 times. Won't turn on even after charge. Really upset. Plenty of vids on YouTube and comments in forums about this . They won't respond to emails. PayPal protection only lasts 6 months.
    Also Opolar are douchebags - didn't refund my fans that were never delivered. No other OzBargainers got them either but they presumably raised PayPal disputes which I didn't until after 6 months as I forgot all about them and only remembered when I tried claiming warranty on this piece of junk blower. The tracking clearly shows the fans were never shipped. No responses to emails either.
    Expect zero support or service. Stay away from these cheats. I'll probably get some negs but you've been warned!

        Agreed. Better protection from Amazon, no doubt as they are bound by the ACL whereas direct from OPOLAR isn't.

        If the item is sold by a marketplace seller, and that seller exits their marketplace contract, are you then out of luck if you need a replacement under warranty?

                    Customers must pay the shipping fees for returning the item accordingly, while we will cover the shipping fees to send the repaired item back to the customer.

                    For a warranty job, that is dodgy as ****!

    I've been using this for about 6 months - no issues and I love it. Paired with a robot vacuum it's a kinda funny way to clean - just blow dust and stuff onto the floor and send the robot off to deal with it. Or blow stuff out of corners the robot doesn't quite get to.

Because of all the Ozito products appearing here … thanks … I ended up adding this to my collection, https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-cordless-high-volu… . I don't know how it compares to this product, but it's been going for quite a while and obviously backed by the 5 year warranty.

              @Goldberg: I have the Ryobi one and it's fine for inflating things. It's basically useless for blowing out dust. Nowhere near enough pressure on the narrowest nozzle.

              The fan in the deal (assuming it's the same as my rebranded one from Amazon) is at least several times the grunt.

    at almost 9 levels strong gale

    What does this even mean?

    for deep cleaning of the microscopic dust of 0.9-1.1oz.

    Are you suggesting that microscopic dust weighs about an ounce? (~30g)

    30 minutes of thorough usage
    charged faster with a 2A adapter (not included). With a reduced charging time of around 3 hours,
    charged via the USB-port makes it perfect for uninterrupted use

    So it takes 30min to drain the battery and 3 hours to charge (assuming we buy a better charger) but somehow we get uninterrupted use?

    The device is structured with an extended full-palm gripping design and withdrawable nozzle keeping the handhold clear to let users grip it at their comfort.

    It's got a handle?

    I won't even bother with paragraph 5… It's absolute cow manure. (even more so than the rest)

    Kmart sell mattress inflators for between $12-$25 which do the same thing as this. I've had the one that's currently $12 on clearance for a few years and it's great for blowing out dusty keyboards and PCs, cleaning dust out of radiators, stoking campfires etc. I attached half a metre of flexible tubing to the nozzle so it can reach into tight spots.

    https://www.kmart.com.au/product/high-power-rechargeable-air…

    https://www.kmart.com.au/product/rechargeable-air-pump-42721…

    They also have a $20 version that plugs into the wall if you don't need something portable. Handy if you always use it in the workshop and don't want to bother with the batteries dying after a few years of occasional use:

    https://www.kmart.com.au/product/ac-240-volt-air-pump-424948…

    "deluxe" version here:
    https://www.kmart.com.au/product/ac-air-pump-43089611/

    EDIT: Kmart ones also have a suction feature, if you attach a nozzle or tube to the inlet. Very helpful for sucking air out of packaging, deflating air mattresses so they can be easily folded up, deflating pool toys for storage.

    I’ve been lucky. I have this and it works well. It’s good for blowing my laptop keyboard clean. I use it everyday. I also have used their desk fans for many years and find them super quiet and reliable. I actually replaced a $70 muji usb fan that was noisy and broke with one of Opolar fans and it’s night and day. Not only cheaper but more blowing power and silent.

  • bchliu on 08/05/2022 - 11:06

    I've had this for almost 2 years now and it's not bad. Don't use it in comparison to compressed air - the "blast" from the compressed air can't exactly be replicated (pressure change) through a turbo fan like this. But for steady streams of air, it actually works very well. I use it to clean my computer / laptops / fans and works well in that perspective.
