The vacuum looks almost like a dremel but a little smaller and lighter. Included with the product is a bristle brush and the keyboard tool which was already mounted.
The keyboard cleaning tool is very nice as it slides down between the keys; but the question is does it work?

There is a led mounted in the front of the Hi speed button so it lights up where you vacume all the time.
Holding down the hi speed button speeds the vacume to a higher speed and it sucks up more at a time.

Here we have opened the vacume cleaner to show you the filter that is inside it which you might want to clean after some use.
Testing:
Well I took my Microsoft Natural test keyboard that I have for my test rig and it is dirty trust me.
After a few minutes with the keyboard cleaner setup I was able to clean this keyboard up.
The keyboard cleaning tool slides perfectly in under the keys and cleans up everything under them.
This thing really does suck the dirt up, I had my own opinion about this product before the review but it sure
proved to be a valuable tool to clean up your keyboard with for example.
Conclusion:
Well the testing says it all this will be a valuable product for you if you like it clean :)
This sucks up the cat hairs, breadcrumbs, etc... out of your keyboard and keeps it clean. What I found annoying with this is that
the USB cord is VERY short and it does not reach to all the parts of my keyboard. A retratable USB cable would make this prodcut perfect.
It is not loud and it still does its job compared to real vacuum cleaners :) Overall we give this 4 out of 5 for a great product
that will keep your keyboard cleaner and nicer to work with.
Pros:
+ Quiet
+ Good keyboard cleaning tool
+ Well packed
