Wolfbox electric air dusters on sale. WOLFOCT2025AU automatically applies.
Is it much better? MF100 specifications are 150000rpm, 185mph air speed, 6000mAh. MF200 100000rpm, 190mph, 6000mAh.
Yup! Torque Test Channel just tested it. It has higher air speed, air volume, and air pressure than the MF100. In the US it's just US$20 more than the MF100. Hopefully we start seeing discounts on it available to us here.
RPM is meaningless without taking into account the fan blade design.
MF100 - 200mph, 70CFM, 159g pressure
MF200 - 213mph, 81CFM, 181g pressure
Thanks. Wolfbox hasn't released it in Australia yet.
@shxhshzhz: The Wolfbox MF200 is on Amazon AU for $160…sold by Wolfbox shipped via Amazon (I think it is coming from the US, but this listing means you are only paying $10 for postage vs the other listing on Amazon that is $10 cheaper but has like $40 or so in postage fees).

I almost bit the bullet on one of these air dusters today but what I'd prefer is for some better models of the ones that use the tool batteries (dewalt, makita, etc) to come out and at a better price. I don't want every device to have their own battery that will end up dying and only works on the device, much prefer some universal standards.
The EU should force the tool manufacturers to agree to standard battery types for 12v and 18/20v (and probably a higher voltage too around the 40-60v…or even both of those), would cause pain now because there are old tools but better for consumers in the long run and then I think a whole lot of other electronics would produce goods that use that standard battery too.
Edit: lol, seems the EU actually already did that, so I guess it is just a bit of a wait until we start getting standard batteries we can use in all of our tools (assuming they don't segment the EU from the rest of the world…if they do I hope Australia copies the regulations).
Edit 2: Nope…it was apparently an April fools joke…BOOO
@nmartin84: Standardised tool batteries were part of the Australian Democrats' policies on the right to repair and stopping planned obsolescence.
So we won't have much luck there until they get more than just me voting for them.
That battery release button on the MF200 looks like it'll get accidentally pressed on a regular basis!
I was sent one early. Compared to the MF50 it's very strong, really good at getting the fine dust particles out of my filters. Looks like it uses identical nozzle attachments to the MF100 too which is a nice touch. Removeable battery is OK, makes me almost want multiple of them.
I am thinking about getting one in part to use as a leaf blower on a small balcony (5m x 2m) to make the task of sweeping up easier. Do you think the MF200 be up to job?
@samyall: Honestly I would recommend it. I tested it a little for my upcoming 3d print models, and compared to my MF50 it feels more like it leans into "power tool" territory rather than a household duster, mostly due to the strength, size and removable battery. The use case feels more at home with blasting difficult to reach dirt and dust out of cars and filters.
I would be a little bit careful using it outside because it has a very strong air intake at the back which will clog fairly bad if you let any grass or leaf particles in, but it would easily blow any dry leaves off without needing to get too close anyway.
Cool upgrades. Don't think it's worthwhile for any MF100 owners though.
How does it compare to workshop blower & inflator where you can use your existing batteries? I currently use included blower attachment for targeted dusting, if vacuuming is not suitable/possible.
I have that workshop blower and this MF100. There's some overlap but they were built with different uses in mind. The workshop blower is good for blowing sawdust off your equipment, leaves out of a small area, that sort of thing. If you need longer runtime and don't mind the far bulkier design, that could work. I only use it for rougher outdoor/workshop things, like where I'd use a shop vac.
The MF100 is a lot more compact so I use it for more fine applications like blowing dust from computers, drying things in a pinch, cooling down 3D prints for removal, blowing dust off aircon/air filters, blowing sand/dust/leaves from the car, etc. It's really compact so it sits inside my house on a pegboard for quick access. I mainly use it for cleaner "indoor" things, like where I'd use a household vac.
like eug said +
The Wolfbox MF100 lasts like max 10 seconds on full speed, then you can hear the RPM falling. After 60 seconds the battery is down to 1 light.
The 18V blower will go for 10 minutes on full power, probably 20-30 minutes work time.
Wolfbox is good to uave around in the house, but for workshop/shed/garden I wouldn't bother with it.
Damn….was hoping I can rig this as a light weight gutter blower, rather than the Ryobi ones.
But seems like yeh, the battery won't last long enough, even though I have 1 problematic area
I have this and found it moves dust really well from one place to the next. It blows hard and fast and also can get loud so unable to use late at night or else your mum will think you are using something else. Great product.
Vacuum cleaners suck. This blows.
That was just a reference. Its not like this has a high end micro processor or anything. its just a small motor and a battery.
@RTX9090Ti: You could be hungry like a wolf instead https://youtu.be/oJL-lCzEXgI?si=6hFUT1DyiUDPiSfR&t=130
@RTX9090Ti: hey just wondering did your MGSD freedom gundam arrive from Amazon? mine got cancelled after all these months…..
How dare you talk rationally here? I got negged for simply asking a question, so go figure.
@dealhunter52: How is it rational to compare a vacuum cleaner to an electric air duster? Two different products.
That was just a reference. Its not like this has a high end micro processor or anything. its just a small motor and a battery.
Do you know what analogy is?
@shxhshzhz: I purchased this 6 years ago and we use it almost everyday. https://www.amazon.com.au/Remington-D3190AU-Aero-2000-Dryer/…
I still remember paying similar price. Still hasnt failed and works very well. Instead of a battery it has a coil. $15. I still feel $100 for a blower is high priced. But then people buy dyson vacumms, so my bad I made that comment.
@John Doh: You bought a hair dryer to vacuum, high end micro-process and blow dust of PC components?
Its not like this has a high end micro processor or anything.
Makes you wonder why no other manufacturer has made a similar blower that performs as well. This has been shown to be the best performer in its form factor since its release.
its just a small motor and a battery.
That's like saying a phone is just a screen, pcb, and battery.
Agree they are quite overpriced but we here have grown up to rip off prices so much so that most folks really think this a good price.
Buy the MF100. You won't regret it.

Would this blow leaves from behind outdoor furniture?
Yes, but not that effective if leaves are wet or sticking to surface after rain.
Only if the furniture is outdoors.
And the leaves are from a plant or tree.
It's good, but my main (minor) complaint is the operation. First you need to hold a button for a second to turn it on. Then you can press the trigger to use it.
Is this good to clean the car? I assume that blowing is better than sucking especially in hard to reach area?
It probably has some applications like blowing water out of little gaps, if you don't have an air compressor.

hmmmm
I am trying the non-plus code "OCTSAVE15" and I am getting an error: "This code can't be applied to your order."
Anyone know what's up?
EDIT: All good, just had to update my address.
Nozzle attachments are terribly designed on these things. Apart from that they are great.
Agree. They need one attachment with smaller nozzle but my main concern is the tiny amount of rotation used to attach them. Which in turn means they can fall off if you are not careful enough Mostly they grip adequately but a slightly longer "thread" would mean I don't keep expecting them to fall off any moment, which does happen occasionaly. I'm also wondering if the grip between the two elements will reduce over time.
As I've said elsewhere though I'm extremely impressed with the power of my MF100 which is more effective than my can of compressed air with the advantage of not running out of it.

If you turn a bit harder they'll click in and definitely won't fall off.
Thanks I've just learnt something. Takes a bit of pressure but will not be falling off.
MF50 has been very useful for me
Interesting. I never considered using this on my anus.
Try it. You don't even need to use it turned on, with the pointy nozzle attachment
Oh something will be turned on alright.
You call yours your light box too?
Is it similar to Nitecore Blowerbaby BB2? Was looking to buy something like this to clean camera lens, etc.
Got the mf50 recently, extremely happy with it.
Mf100 thanks!
Does any one read these model number in Samuel L. Jackson’s voice?
Thanks Op ordered.
Why is money at $49.99? I catlnt apply the other voucher.
Edit* derp got it
Why there is always high vote on this, what's the practical usage that I'm not aware of
Didn't need…bought one MF100 anyway. Thanks OP
Just wondering If this will be powerful enough if this was taped to a telescopic pole for gutter leaf blower?
What is the pole made of how long is it, what is the temperature outside, also how windy is it outside and what type of roof, tile or color bond, and what color?
Would these work to inflate an air mattress?
Absolutely. I use mine to do that regularly. It’s quick and efficient. Blows up a double mattress in about 1 minute.
Sorry mines a 100 and this one’s a 50. Still believe it would be very capable.
is mf100 good for drying my car exterior after its washed?
any difference to the jet dry mini blower?
I got MF50, it is good for the intended use, blowing dust out of computer, but then considered other uses such a blowing dust out of ceiling airvents in house and dust out of air conditioner filters. Not very good. Not such a big deal, just remove and brush them like I always have, so maybe saving the $55 to buy the cheap one is still ok.
I hated using compressed air cans as they cost so much I did not use them as liberally as I should have , and if you hold them the wrong way liquid spurts out on motherboard which is a potential very bad thing especially if computer is on.
MF100 works nicely from my experience, though the battery tends to run down faster than I'd prefer if I'm using it a lot. I never tore the thing down so no idea if that's space constraints or just leaving empty space where more battery could go.
The thing is surpisingly powerful for a fan gadget with what appears to be a three phase motor driving the little turbine inside.
Seconding the disdain for canned air cans, they chill themselves into ineffectiveness and run out far too rapidly when I use them; made me yearn for an air compressor just to be done with the problem.
The liquid they use in "canned air" is usually something like difluoroethane F-CH2-CH2-F which AFAIK should mainly be dangerous from the thermal effects of it evaporating and rapidly cooling your motherboard rather than from conductivity. (Gut feeling for the chemistry is it's got nice properties relating to compression compared to nitrogen which is what is mostly in air)
The thermal shock might do some nasty things to anything that's already hot. Cracking hot components as they go from 80C to -20C in a second e.g. chips, ceramic inductors, and whatnot.
(Of course this is all from memory so one quarter odds I'm full of shit.)
I just use my ryobi battery blower for cleaning lol.
thanks OP I ordered one, very timely as i need to clean out a few PC's and my coffee grinder :)
