My Review:
First, some background. I ordered the Electric Duster about 7 days ago and recently received it in mail. This weekend I had a chance to try it out on my PC, which hasn't been cleaned for over 6 months. I noticed that 6 months of accumulated dust was overheating my CPU and GPU. So I took the PC outside and cleaned it with the Electric Duster. The duster is quite powerful. It blows dust everywhere. Using it indoors is not recommended unless you like breathing dust.
There isn't much left to review for me really. Before buying the duster I read as many Customer Reviews I could find online, and after my first use I gotta say, those reviews are right on the money. That brings us to the point that this is an ongoing review. I am going to update this review from time to time based on my experience. I think this is a better way of reviewing a product.
After I cleaned my PC I ran a few benchmarks and stress tests on my CPU and GPU overnight. The CPU temperature range was quite impressive. As for the GPU it was quite a bit high, but within manufacturer's outlined safety limits. I noticed the difference when playing games. Recently, before cleaning, my PC was heating up quite a bit when playing games. After cleaning I noticed that both CPU and GPU was running relatively cooler. So I am a happy customer so far.
