not as much suction as my shopvac can blow out of its exhaust.
takes all of about 10 seconds to blow out the dust inside my machines lol.

course it takes my wife about two hours to clean all the dust off of everything it settles on whewn I do it inside the house  :rofl

I tend to do this a couple of times a year sending "The Little Colonel" (my wife) into a frenzy.   She still doesn't know I get this "kick to the reaction" she makes.   When this fails, I'll think of something else.

What can you expect for $4.95???? :lol  Probably made in China..  They prey on unsuspecting people to buy this crap and then offer absolutely no support when it breaks or totally doesn't do what they say it will...Welcome to the world economy...

Well, if the low-power USB vacuum for $4.95 doesn't strike your fancy how about a $499.00 (that's four hundred and ninety-nine dollars) audio link cable?

For that kind of money one would only expect this type of high technology to be included:
"Additionally, signal directional markings are provided for optimum signal transfer."

No wonder my cables have such sub-par signal transfer...no signal directional markings!  :uhoh

But what happens if that data carried along that cable is transfered to a component without high purity copper?!  So $500 for 4.5 feet and they're only using copper?  For that price it should be 24K gold. 

I thought the cable prices at Best Buy were bad.  $30 for a 'gold plated' USB cable.  Seriously.  I'll take my $1.99 Newegg special thanks.
