I finally stopped using canned air for cleaning out dusty office PCs

For years I just grabbed the same can of compressed air for every dusty build. Last month I picked up a cheap electric duster for about 60 bucks on a whim. The difference is huge. The canned air gets cold fast and runs out after maybe two or three machines, but the electric one has way more power and doesn't quit. I did a whole office of 15 desktops without stopping, and the dust came out way better. Has anyone else made the switch and noticed it saves time on big jobs?

Wait you were using ONE CAN for multiple machines? That's wild, mine always runs out halfway through the second PC. The can gets so cold it starts spitting liquid, and then it's just done. An electric duster for that many computers is a total game changer, the power is just on another level. I can't believe you put up with the can method for big jobs for so long.

Yeah, that "spitting liquid" part is the worst. I saw a video where someone said that moisture can actually be bad for the parts over time. The electric ones are just so much better for that.
