Your thoughts? I want to use this as a duster for inside of house. Don't just want to PUSH dust around....want to clean it good and get rid of it via washer/rinse. Is there better out there?

I don't think this would be the ideal duster. Too heavy and thick. There are plenty of microfiber cloths available for that.

I think that there are better options for what you are looking. This is ideal for cleaning the car (as a sponge) but i don't think it would be useful for your task.

I don't know what the manufacturer recommends. I would do what I do w/my similar items. I have a small blower for my keyboard, my refrigerator coils, my TV, etc. It blows out the dust. Then I vacuum up the bits of dust that float out of the item. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Personally I used ours, owned 3 that are now sitting on a shelf in our garage, for humidity and to remove cig. smoke from the air. If I had to rate them, I would give them a 3 on a scale of 1 -10. Also, keep in mind, they are tough to clean, if you can get all the "white" accumulation off at all, and the additives are expensive. I would not recommend this product PERIOD! For your needs, there are products out there that will do a much better job in my humble opinion.

I think it works far better than a broom. I use the dust mop attachment on it and periodically spray it lightly with endust. Works great at collecting and lifting dust. Then I just toss it in the washer and good to go. Best system ever!!

I too use the sander indoors and have found it to be very effective at dust collection. Most of my sanding is done with a fine grit paper for prepping wood for wood carving. Although the sander can be used with a small shop vacuum, I have not found that necessary for my use.

The upper cylinder comes apart and we've used bottle brushes and/or an air compressor outside as the dust is bound to fly. If you have a small hand you could probably reach in there, but the area vacuum cleaner company will do it as well for a fee. Not the most pleasant job, but my husband takes it on as a challenge every few months.

I have extensive experience with this sander and the dust bag is virtually useless. It does catch some dust no doubt but hooking it up to a shop vac could help but it would surely diminish the mobility of the sander while using it. I use a respirator always when sanding and I place a sturdy powerful fan directly behind me to help disperse dust away from the sanding project always!! Hope this helps you!Best regards Bo

This is not a vacuum. I suggest vacuuming first -- especially the drapes (washing them, too). Hopefully there are no serious mold-spores growing amongst the walls in a musty old house. (A fumigating may be necessary.) I suppose that on a medium/high speed, this machine would most likely really help clean the air. As I mentioned in my review, it has really helped my father -- who lives along a dusty street with lots of flowers/tress. He told me again yesterday that it has helped clear his sinuses.

Good reviews.....I was cleaning mine just this week & broke off 1 wand circle.....better to rinse it like the other suggestion & when storing .....wrap in a grocery bag ( or ) !!

The instructions say to not open up fan but to vacuum with attachment and it will suck out the dust. This has not worked for me. There is dust inside beyond the slats and my vacuum is not strong enough to such it all out. Considering what to do about this now. Update: I have an electric leaf blower(7amp 160mph) for my patio so I tried using that to blow the dust out and it worked really well. I used a tiny bottle brush that I have that fit in between the slats to loosen any not blown out, then blew again. Worked really well! Now I will blow it out every month or so to avoid the buildup. Problem solved.

yes it does pick up dust pretty good but they sell others that has a brush like a vacuum cleaner besides the two round ones in the front that I assume will pick up really good so if you do some more research you'll see those I wish I could have bought one of those instead I really think that would have been a better buy

I use are in a warehouse for the dust. I have found that you need to wash out the bag after use. I rinse the bag out with water and hang to dry for the next week.

Yep, I've used this duster to clean the entire inside of my computer. Just make sure you hold the can straight up, don't tilt the can.

I haven't owned it that long, so I never never washed it. I just keep it in the bag it came in. I would assume you could just shake it out and get the dust off.

actually I haven't. I don't smoke and have no pets. Seems that all my filters, walls, and window treatments don't get 'dirty' quickly. If I do need to clean it, I'd check the owner's manual, and if that didn't tell me I'd figure out how to take the guard off and use a Swifter type dusting material.

I got this and then the Oneida Ultimate Dust Deputy II For Festool that sits on top of it as that keeps much of the dust out of the vacuum, so it makes it easier to empty. I use it mainly for sanding. I don't think it's a good choice for a table saw. You might be better off with dust collector like JET DC-650CK Dust Collector or similar, as those are made for table saws assuming you have a way to capture the dust like a 4" dust port on your table saw. There are attachments to compensate if you don't have a dust port. Dust collection can get pretty involved. I have a large cyclone and the Festool. Go to Rockler.com to get some ideas on dust collection and/or oneida-air.com. I hope this helped some what.

If you are doing dry sweeping, use the Bona microfiber dusting pad. I used to use a swiffer, and can't believe how much more I pick up with the bona. I still use a small brush and dustpan for picking up the larger crumbs that don't stick to the duster's surface. Also, it's washable, so no more swiffer cloths going to the landfill. I use this microfiber cleaning pad when I am wet mopping. I sweep first, so there isn't much for this to pick up.
