In Reply to: RE: Electric Compressed Air for Equipment Dusting posted by Jonesy on February 19, 2025 at 11:32:21
;-)
I have been using electric leaf blowers for more then 25 years to keep the inside of my home clean.
The dust that builds up under and behind and under refrigerators, stoves,
chairs, couches, record cabinets and a leaf blower makes cleaning them a breeze.
One thing though, make sure you have a good vacuum cleaner running
to capture all the dust that will filling the air.
The first time you do it it will be extremely messy.
Suck it up.
Then the next time there will be less dust and dirt.
I also blow out closets.
You'll see.
I've done some of what you mention with the leaf blower. I've used it in the laudry room to clear dust from under the Washer / Dryer - AND I had the vacuum going to suck it up. Sure beats moving the appliances out of the way!
Leaf blowers are great! Used one to blow out years of accumulated dust, bugs and of course leaves from DJ equipment like amps and mixers that were used indoors and out.
Large speakers (with care) as well. Things like salami slices have to be removed by hand. Amazing what people will do with their food when dancing under the influence near equipment!

I wasn't completely joking about the battery powered leaf blower but I like your idea for smaller precision work.From a distance, and at lower speeds, a leaf blower works fine for blowing out old PCs or blowing the dust out of electric space heaters. I'll do this in the garage or out on the driveway as you'd be amazed at how much dust comes out of some of these appliances.
Just have to be careful not to get too close or too powerful to cause damage. I also use the leaf blower to blow dirt and leaves out of the garage rather than sweeping.
Similar to mine. Not real powerful.

My outdoor leaf blower that I used on the DJ equipment is a large but older plug-in one that comes with a shoulder strap. I use it just the way you describe when outside but much too big for indoors.Really admiring the large tools with rechargeable battery tools like yours. Seem more user friendly. Waiting for my oldies to break down!
