New Electric Duster® Offers High-Performance “Green” Alternative To “Canned-Air” Camera/Computer Cleaning Products

June 23, 2009 — Positioned as “The last can of air you’ll ever have to buy” Metro’s all-new DataVac® Electric Duster® offers a “greener”, more effective, cost-efficient alternative to throwaway “canned air” products that have, until now, dominated the photographic and computer cleaning market.

Ken Stern, Metro’s Vice President of Sales, is very outspoken when it comes to the environmental shortcomings and health hazards of “canned air”…“These throwaway products are environmental bombshells,” says Stern. “Their multi-material construction makes efficient recycling tedious and impractical. They are difficult to crush and take up an inordinate amount of valuable space in our overflowing landfills. The difluoroethane propellants used in these products are brutal on the atmosphere and, last but certainly not least, they are expensive. Our Electric Duster® costs less than five throwaway cans of air, yet it’s designed to last for many years of daily professional use.”

The Electric Duster® is the newest addition to Metro’s proven DataVac® line. It is compact, comfortable to use and features a new, almost unbelievably powerful 500-Watt motor. This mini powerhouse delivers a tremendous, concentrated, continuous air blast that thoroughly cleans expensive camera and lighting equipment, computers, printers and other electronic components to keep them operating at peak efficiency. It also does a great job as a set duster and can even double as a handy hair fan on fashion shoots!

The DataVac® Electric Duster® is made in the USA at Metro’s Suffern, New York plant and features a body of steel with high-quality attachments built to last. It blows clean, dry, filtered air that is condensation-free and completely safe for all photographic, computer/electronic equipment…and people! To further enhance the product’s “green” image, Metro is fabricating these new units from quality steel with up to 70% recycled content and using packaging that contains no less than 20% recycled material.
