Comments about Giottos Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, Manual Air Blower with Extra-Large Rubber Bulb - 5.3" Long:
I have this in my camera bag and use it as an everyday dust remover for lenses and bodies. The small size means there isn't a ton of air volume for each burst, and it makes it a little more difficult to hold. I also find that as I squeeze it, the nozzle tends to move to the side (also due to poor technique) since it is so small. If you have the room, it might be worth getting the larger sizes for the extra air volume and easier directional control.

Comments about Giottos Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, Manual Air Blower with Extra-Large Rubber Bulb - 5.3" Long:
The blower serves its purpose well (travel) but is small and does not replace the larger model for the tougher jobs. I would recommend it only as a travel blower and not for routine maintenance that you do at home. There is a check valve in the lower air inlet. It serves only to let the bulb refill more quickly. Unfiltered air can enter via this valve or the nozzle causing you to blow debris into the lens or sensor. I wrapped a pecpad around the lower inlet held on by a rubber band for some filtration and try to put my finger over the nozzle as it refills so most refill air will come through the filter (especially when I'm in hazardous conditions; dust, blowing sand, fog or rain, etc.).

Really fantastic blower. Great size for traveling too! Well designed and constructed, does not feel cheap at all. This is a must-buy for everyone!

Although some comments have said it was too bulky, I didn't find this to be an issue.

It fits in my Lowepro 200AW nicely. You have to remove the blow straw and invert it back into bulb to make it shorter. *Minus one star - replacing straw back on takes a little more time and effort than desired if I am in a hurry (ONLY improvement needed). Hole in bottom IS one way valve instead of a simple hole (impossible for me to confirm before buying) I would recommend and would like a bigger one for home.

Just the right size for the backpack. Powerful air jet in a compact package. It does not get any better than this!

Comments about Giottos Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, Manual Air Blower with Extra-Large Rubber Bulb - 5.3" Long:
Giottos little blower is funny looking, but is very effective. I use it to blow dust and grit off lenses, filters, and, occasionally and very carefully, my digital camera's sensor. It works very well.

Comments about Giottos Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, Manual Air Blower with Extra-Large Rubber Bulb - 5.3" Long:
The Rocket Blaster removed the dust on my Pentax K100D on the first blast. I was really excited about not having to spend a lot of money to have my sensor cleaned.

Comments about Giottos Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, Manual Air Blower with Extra-Large Rubber Bulb - 5.3" Long:
A couple quick squirts each time I change a lens has kept my sensor brush put away. I wanted less direct contact on the sensor, and this does the job for me in reducing potentially harmful cleaning.

Comments about Giottos Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, Manual Air Blower with Extra-Large Rubber Bulb - 5.3" Long:
Nice blower. Much better than the flat plastic ones I've used in the past. Only thing I can say bad about it, is that it's kind of bulky. I had a hard time finding a place in my camera bag for it. Glad I didn't get one of the bigger ones! It would be nice if it was somehow collapsible.

Comments about Giottos Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, Manual Air Blower with Extra-Large Rubber Bulb - 5.3" Long:
This is a great little blower. Very powerful and kinda fun to use. I like this product so much that I bought the bigger one.
This one - the little one - goes in my camera bag. The bigger on stays in my home office for computer, guitars, electronic equipment, etc. I don't have to worry that this thing will spew propellant like some aerosol products.
My only complaint, and this is a stretch, is that the rubber bulb has a wierd odor that transfers to your hands. I hope this will dissappear as they age - both of them were almost straight from the factory.
