Can of air alternative?

Just recently, I purchased an electric air blower for my pc and other similarly scaled electronics. However, I’ve found myself needing compressed air, but at a smaller and more concentrated size for blowing dust out of my phones. Does anyone know if there is a small electrical air blower I can purchase? I don’t want to have to keep buying cans of air.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The best you can do is this True Power Rechargeable Sprayer. I still use can'ed air as this doesn't last as long.

I use it to hold cleaners like distilled water and isopropyl alcohol to clean things.

Keep in mind many of these compressors tend to have oil in the air which you don't want when cleaning optics.

Have you considered going the opposite direction? Instead of blowing the air out, use a high powered vacuum? A brush attachment on a vacuum works very well.

You do need to be careful as some are glorified Van de Graaff generators. The piston design can create quite a large charge which can zap your electronics.

I use a DataVac Electronic Duster. It has 5 different nozzles so you can pick just what you want.
