USB Multi-Cleaner Keeps You Healthy And Tidy

Matt Hickey — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:00:50 EDT

We've seen our share of so-called air purifiers, and desktop vacuums, but when they combine into a maximum cleaning tool, and it's powered by USB, you get to see it here. It sits on your desk, quietly sucking up all the dust coming your way from your filthy co-workers. And to make sure you don't share yours with them, it quickly transforms into a small hand-held vacuum cleaner with brush, just to keep your desk and keyboard clean. Save your health, and your USB ports! Bonus "Can you see what's wrong with this picture?" photo after the jump.

USB powered, right?

USB Mini Vacuum Looks and Works Just Like the Big Boys

We've shown you tiny USB vacuums before, but none were as realistic as this mini-hoover, the $20 USB Mini Vacuum Cleaner. The 8-inch-tall minivac gets its power from a 45-inch USB cable, so you might even be able to pick up a few floor boogers and dust bunnies with it, too. [Whatever Works, via GeekAlerts]

USB Keyboard Vacuum Sucks, More or Less

That USB vacuum we showed you last August pretty much sucked—in other words, one of our many astute commenters said it didn't suck enough, and couldn't pick up hardly any of those crumbs and various pieces of detritus and ejecta populating the area in and around his keyboard.

That USB vac was a $14 item, and now we bring you the USB Keyboard Vacuum, and it costs $9 less and sucks more, one way or another. You be the judge. Keep in mind that this one includes two attachments, a brush and a flexible rubber tip to get into those hard-to-reach places. Anybody tried this one? – Charlie White
