Metro’s all-new DataVac® Electric Duster®

The safe, “Green” alternative to controversial “canned-air” computer cleaning products

“Stop The Waste And Be Safe With DataVac®…The Only ‘Can Of Air’ That Needs No Warnings!” That’s the theme of Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Company’s safety and environmentally slanted marketing campaign designed to promote their all-new DataVac® Electric Duster® computer/electronic cleaning system. It is positioned as a “greener”, safer, more effective and cost-efficient alternative to the controversial “canned air” products that have, until now, dominated the market.

This newest addition to Metro’s proven DataVac® line has been completely redesigned from the ground-up and is now available in both 120 and 220/230-volt models. It is much more compact and comfortable to use than previous models and features a new, almost unbelievably powerful 500-Watt motor. This new mini-powerhouse delivers a tremendous, concentrated, continuous air blast that gets down deep to keep expensive computer, electronic, camera and home entertainment equipment thoroughly clean and running at peak efficiency.

Ken Stern, Metro’s vice president of sales, is very outspoken when it comes to the environmental shortcomings and health hazards of “canned air.” Stern said, “These throwaway products are environmental bombshells. 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. And, last but certainly not least, the difluoroethane propellants used in these products are brutal on the atmosphere and can be deadly if misused by youngsters!”

In response to the recent wave of adolescent deaths caused by intentionally inhaling “canned-air” computer cleaning products (also known as huffing or dusting) Stern went on to say,“Retailers, as well as anyone with kids who use computers, are concerned about this huffing issue and I think we’d all breathe a little easier if these dangerous ‘canned-air’ products were replaced by a safer cleaning system, that worked even better and was ultimately less expensive like our new DataVac® Electric Duster®.”

The DataVac® Electric Duster® is made in the USA at Metro’s Suffern, NY, 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 computer/electronic equipment, printers, copiers, fax machines, digital cameras, DVD players, etc. To further enhance the product’s “green” image, Metro is fabricating these new units from quality steel with up to 70 percent recycled content and using packaging that contains no less than 20 percent recycled material.
