Hi,

Any thoughts on this blower? : http://www.kohglobal.c​om/JetAir.html (external link)

I don't have any cleaning supplies and it sounds decent, but it also looks really big and might be overkill. I'm wondering instead of a blower if I'd be better off with one of those lip-stick sized brushes.

Regards.

You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

If we all lived in a dust-free bubble, this would work. It's not dust motes in the air that are the problem, it's small flecks of dirt that land on the mirror that are the targets of the air stream.

I use the Giottos Q-ball, which is almost the same, and it works nicely.
