Cleaning Made Easy with the HOTO Electric Air Duster and Vacuum
In this video, I’m reviewing the HOTO Electric Air Duster and Vacuum Cleaner, a handy, compact device that combines air dusting and vacuum cleaning into one tool. Although HOTO did not sponsor this video, they kindly sent me the product to review. With that said, I’ll be sharing my honest thoughts and experiences on this item.
My Workstation Dilemma
Let me first set the scene: my workstation is where I do almost everything—work, video calls, video editing, gaming, and more. The problem? Dust. Where I live, dust accumulates rapidly, and since my desk is black, it shows every speck of dust. Wiping it down with a damp cloth every few days became a bit of a chore.
After just a few days of use, the dust would start to build up again, as you can see in the video. But now, with the HOTO Electric Air Duster and Vacuum, I no longer have to worry about the hassle of using kitchen towels or wiping down my desk constantly. It’s made my desk cleaning experience much more convenient.
Unboxing the HOTO Electric Air Duster and Vacuum
The HOTO Electric Air Duster and Vacuum comes well-packaged in a box featuring product graphics and specifications on the back. Inside, you’ll find the following items:
- Instruction manual
- USB-A to USB-C charging cable
- Dust cup (vacuum head)
- Air valve attachments: short and long
- Swim ring air valve
- Vacuum deflating connector
- Brush attachment for the vacuum head
- Carrying pouch
The main air duster module has a simple, user-friendly design with an inlet for suction and an outlet for blowing air. It’s powered by a 1900mAh rechargeable battery and uses a USB-C port for charging. The carrying pouch is a nice touch as it neatly holds the main module and accessories.
Design and Features
The dust cup (vacuum head) has a transparent black exterior, which lets you see how much dust has accumulated. You can easily open it by twisting the bottom, and it features a HEPA filter that’s reusable. The filter is easy to clean, and all other components (except the HEPA filter) are washable.
The attachments include:
- Short and long air valves for blowing dust in various angles.
- Swim ring air valve for cleaning narrow areas.
- Vacuum head with a movable brush for cleaning small crevices, like between keyboard keys.
Easy Operation
Using the HOTO electric air duster and vacuum is straightforward. You can attach different air valves depending on your cleaning needs. To operate it, press and hold the power button to turn it on, and tap it to switch between high and low power modes. Press and hold the power button again to turn it off.
The vacuum function is powered by a brushless motor that spins up to 91,000 RPM, generating a wind speed of 22 meters per second (MPS) and 15,000 Pascal vacuum power. This provides powerful suction, making it perfect for cleaning dust and debris from your workstation or peripherals.
Practical Use and Convenience
I’ve found the HOTO Air Duster and Vacuum to be incredibly useful for keeping my desk, laptop, and peripherals dust-free. The vacuum attachment with the brush is great for cleaning my keyboard and other delicate items. You can also use the swim ring attachment to blow air sideways between the keycaps, making keyboard dusting much more effective without removing the keys.
Cleaning the dust cup is a simple task—just twist open the bottom, dump out the debris, and use a toothbrush to clean the HEPA filter for a deeper clean. All other parts of the dust cover are washable, which is convenient for keeping everything clean.
Battery Life and Performance
The one downside to the HOTO Air Duster and Vacuum is the battery life. It lasts around 20 minutes on high speed before needing a recharge. However, considering its compact size and the power it delivers, I think this is a fair trade-off. It’s ideal for quick cleaning sessions, and the rechargeable battery ensures it’s always ready for the next task.
Conclusion
Overall, I’m very impressed with the HOTO Electric Air Duster and Vacuum. It’s an incredibly convenient and powerful tool for keeping your workstation, peripherals, and other small areas clean. Its compact design, powerful suction, and versatile attachments make it a great addition to anyone’s cleaning routine. If you’re looking for a multi-functional cleaning tool, this is definitely worth considering.
