Carey Holzman puts BLOWZER up against his old air duster on a live upgrade marathon

On a live upgrade marathon from his Arizona studio, PC repair pro Carey Holzman unboxed the BLOWZER X6, ran all three speeds, swapped its nozzles and held it up against the cordless duster he has used for three years.

A repair shop's live show

Carey Holzman fixes computers for a living, and his YouTube channel is where that working knowledge goes public. He runs a repair and IT business in Arizona, looks after offices and managed service providers, and hosts long live broadcasts where he opens new hardware with the chat watching and asking questions in real time.

This one, streamed on September 2, 2026, he called an upgrade marathon. Three of the four items on the desk were PC add-ons from Minisforum: the DEG2 eGPU dock, the ESP4B four-drive NVMe card and the ENPBA network card. The fourth was a BLOWZER X6. Half an hour in, running through the pile, he gives it a one-line preview: "that's the most insane computer duster I've ever seen in my life."

Out of the box, on camera two

The X6 gets its turn at about the 1:37 mark. Carey switches to the close-up camera, opens the teal box and lifts out the zippered case. "This comes in a carrying case. How cool is that?" He points out the charging port and the battery LEDs, the intake on the back he warns you not to block, and the row of nozzles in the foam.

He holds the speed button, explains that three LEDs on the back mean high speed, and fires it at his open palm. "That is so serious. It kind of hurts my ears a little bit," he says. Then he works through the nozzles, twisting each one a quarter turn until it locks, and likens the fit to an old camera lens mount. The narrow one, he suggests, could reach between car seats or into the crumb grooves of an oven.

He tries the other two speeds as well. Medium is "a little bit more human", about the strength of the duster he already owns; low he finds too gentle for his work. Four lit battery bars confirm the unit arrived fully charged.

Side by side with his old duster

Back in the wide shot, Carey brings out the cordless duster he bought on Amazon three years ago and holds the two up together. "This is how much technology advances in just a couple years. This is nowhere near as powerful."

His comparison is fair both ways. He prefers the X6's locking nozzles to the old friction-fit straw, which he expects to loosen with use. He still likes that the old one blows air through a brush, and says he suggested a brush nozzle to the brand; he would buy it as an add-on. He also talks through jobs he does at home in the Arizona dust: blowing lint out from around a dryer's lint trap and clearing an air conditioner's condensate drain.

Why it matters to the people he looks after

Later in the show he tries to open the X6 to look inside, and it stays closed; he puts the screws back, runs it again and watches the motor spin through the back. His verdict is practical. "I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to my clients." Many of the offices he maintains still keep cans of compressed air in the supply closet for copiers and PCs, and he plans to suggest they keep a couple of these instead.

For anyone who maintains computers, whether a whole office or one desk at home, that is the point of the segment. Canned air goes cold and loses pressure as you use it; a rechargeable duster with locking nozzles and three speeds sits under the desk, ready for the next dusty case.

Questions readers ask

Is an electric air duster better than canned air for cleaning a PC?

For regular cleaning, it saves buying cans. The BLOWZER X6 recharges over USB-C and reaches 45 m/s at 130,000 RPM, so it doesn't run cold or lose pressure mid-job the way a can does.

How do the X6 nozzles attach?

Each of the five interchangeable nozzles twists on with a quarter turn and locks, so airflow won't push it off.

Which speed should I use inside a computer?

The X6 has three modes, 40K, 80K and 130K RPM. Start at 40K or 80K around fans and small parts, and step up to 130K for packed dust in heatsinks.
