Small compressor for cleaning / blowing - instead of compressed air

Due to the frequent need to clean / blast equipment (mainly computer equipment), I am thinking of replacing the compressed air with a small compressor. Yes, I know that the topic has been discussed many times on the electrode - the topics are from 2011, 2014, etc. Also, google returns a lot of results, but mainly just different tips.

I have read both the electrode topics and google results, and I already have my own thoughts. Now I would like to ask you for specific advice. What do you think about this compressor (intended for cleaning / blowing):
Stanley Air Kit - http://www.ceneo.pl/37515304
Has anyone used it and can say if it will work in such a role?

If you go to the workshop statically, it's better to have something bigger with a tank.
I have some kind of made in china in the basement with a tank, a dehydrator / oil separator, a gun with a longer lance, when it blows, it is strength, and in the basement it is gray with dust.

The description says that it is without a tank. It's probably a wheel pump rather.

From the small ones, I used to watch the Stanley 5l, small, portable and it had a blower it was only a little loud.

We have one, oil-free - which is important for electronics and apart from the fact that it makes noise, it is a nice and handy solution.



I think that the one you indicate in the link will be equally good for this application. Well, it's only worth paying attention to the noise. These devices are quite loud by nature, so as much as 1-2dB difference is worth the higher price. Colleagues pay attention to the tank to be larger. It is completely unnecessary for blowing out and simple work.
Cheers!

Hello,
I would just like to confirm the above statement of my colleague ^ ToM ^ - I have had such a compressor for 9 years, it is relatively light and easy to carry. It is enough for pumping the wheels and blowing it out. If there is a need to obtain a temporarily greater blast, it is enough to press the trigger of the gun every few seconds so that the air spring in the hose. Disadvantages: noisy and rides on the floor when working in an upright position.
Greetings!

You probably haven't dealt with a really dirty computer.
Such equipment is a toy with a capacity slightly greater than that of compressed air in an aerosol.
For cleaning electronics with a lot of dust, only equipment with a bottle of min. 25 liters.
Unless there is only one piece of equipment to be cleaned once in a while and we have a lot of patience and free time.
I have friends who deal with computer service and they also used to have such toys - after a few months they changed it to a classic compressor with a cylinder.
Professionally, a nitrogen cylinder is used for cleaning and blowing.

I agree with @rubens
If you do not need mobility, you need a compressor with a cylinder, but unfortunately they are much louder.

In addition, a long lance to avoid standing close

I am writing from my own experience. For most applications, even in the case of extremely dirty printers or copiers, just such a portable compressor is sufficient. It just turns on more often than a compressor with a 25 L shoe. In the practice of dust removal, however, it does not matter at all.

Cheers!

The topic for me is on time.
I do not know if this equipment from the links of the author of the topic is the same compressor as on Agito:
http://www.agito.pl/kompresor-stanley-stn595-1-5-cp-8-barow-8215190stn595/pd/DL23JBBBM/
Stanley STN595 compressor, 1.5 CP, 8 Bar
I need to occasional blowing the computer, sometimes to inflate wheels or balls. No professional uses.
I assume that's enough?

And would it be like that? significantly better?
http://www.agito.pl/stanley-kompresor-bezolej...cja-pne-pl-990098-c6bb304stp608/pd/DK9G9MBBM/
Stanley Oil-free compressor 6L / 1.5KM / 8BR + BC set

And how is he different from that? I understand that with some additional set?

Stanley Oil-free compressor 6L / 1.5KM / 8BR

Alternatively Black & Decker compressor ASI300 (this one has both 230V and 12V):
https://www.mall.pl/kompresory/blackdecker-asi300

But will these devices be suitable for blowing the computer from time to time?

All of these compressors for use from time to time will suffice.
And so their parameters are "a fingerprint".
When you buy it only with a cylinder (even the 5l one).
I recommend looking for videos on youtube.
for example, the 5L 10ba AIR-BOSS compressor has a "paper" capacity of 180l, and in the test, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l77gvpjvhrQ, the actual capacity is about 90l / min
If you don't need a portable one, buy with a 25l cylinder, as you must have a portable one even with a small cylinder.

Are there any models with a 5L cylinder, but at the same time for 230V and 12V?

Hello
How do you deal with falling dust after cleaning in confined spaces?
After cleaning, for example, a computer working in a production hall or a warehouse in an office, I have a crap that I don't touch is all dirty. And it happens that you need to clean a few such computers a day.

Maybe the vacuum cleaner should be used first and caressed with air only for a better glance

I go outside and smoke. In the middle, it has not been cleaned for years, the massacre is being done, and if a few times it is already .....

What kind of compressor did you finally buy? Because I'm also looking for due to the fact that I live in a block of flats is (the smaller the better) but sometimes needs to blow in the computer laptops for personal use, etc.

Best buy silecery. The difference in noise is colossal:

I own a Stanley Air Kit, without a tank, the one from the link in the 1st post. I've never had a compressor with a tank, so I don't have a comparison.
For the occasional blowing dust off a laptop, it may be suitable, but in general working with it is not convenient. The only advantages are the low price, weight and compact size (all accessories and the power cord hide inside).

Noisy it terribly (according to the instructions 97 dB), and the motor must work all the time since there is no tank. To blow something meaningfully out of dust, you have to press and release the trigger every now and then. When constantly pressed, the airflow is so weak that it hardly blows anything out. The maximum time of continuous operation is 1.5 minutes and then there should be 8 minutes of break.

Mi once broke the hose at the initial section, it easily bends there. I managed to replace it under warranty. On the new one I put a bow for pex pipes, so that this will not happen again.
Rather do not recommend and next time I will probably buy something with a tank.

I in domestic applications (and not only) first vacuum with an industrial vacuum cleaner, and then blow with a mattress pump, especially those blowers what are directly on 230 V, some supposedly have a capacity of up to 500 l / min.
Bought in the market for 40 zl, it draws only 150 W and is quiet.
And for firing up the grill - ideal.
There are also pumps (blowers) for mattresses 500-600 W, with capacities up to 2000 l/min - but they already make noise like a regular vacuum cleaner.
