The measured results
Every number below is read straight from the test. Scroll sideways to see all measurements. Products are listed in the order they finished.
| Product | Weight | Noise | Claimed vs measured RPM | Air speed without nozzle | Air speed with nozzle | Wind force | CFM | Wood chip removal test |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1Wolfbox$90 | 313 grams | just under 99 dB, pretty loud | claims 150,000 RPM, measured about 24,800 RPM | 53.1 m/s (transcribed as 118.8 mph) | meter pegged very quickly, exceeded the maximum capacity of the tester, well over 200 mph | just over 334 G, came out on top of this test | 73, ran circles around the competition | 2.1 seconds, fastest of all products tested |
| 2Cooldove$60 | 345 grams | 82.8 dB, a little louder than the Licorne | claims up to 250,000 RPM, measured 126,500 RPM, moved into the RPM lead at that point in testing | 34.1 m/s (76.2 mph), a little better than the Licorne | almost 67 m/s (149 mph) | just under 310 G, about the same as the Licorne | 56, more air volume than the Licorne, finished second overall in this test behind Wolfbox | 3.5 seconds |
| 3Mershgaya$70 | 293 grams | 83.6 dB, even less noise than the Fanttik | claims 300,000 RPM, measured 130,000 RPM, came up 170,000 RPM short but moved into the RPM lead at that point | 47.2 m/s (105.6 mph), moved into the lead | 70.1 m/s | 27.5 G, moved into third place behind the Licorne and Cooldove | 29, makes the most RPM but nearly as good as the top five brands on air volume | 2.26 seconds, moved into the lead, finished second overall behind Wolfbox |
| 4Duort$80 | 248 grams, very light | 88.6 dB | claims 350,000 RPM, measured about 83,000 RPM, less RPM than average | 59.8 m/s (133.0 mph), moved into the lead over the V9, no additional nozzles available for this brand | not tested | 109 G, performed better than the V9 | 39, performed better than average | 2.41 seconds, finished third overall behind Wolfbox and Mershgaya |
| 5Licorne$56 | 335 grams | 82.4 dB, relatively quiet | claims 350,000 RPM, measured just over 114,000 RPM, below average | 30.3 m/s (67.8 mph), below average | 77.8 m/s (174 mph), the nozzle really helped | just under 310 G, claimed over 350 G but fell short, the best result yet at that point in the wind force test | 44, the most air volume yet at that point in testing | 5 seconds, pretty good |
| 6AC-27$30 | 289 grams | 93 dB, pretty loud | claims 150,000 RPM, moved into the RPM lead at that point in testing but the exact measured figure is garbled in the transcript | 43.3 m/s, around 97 mph | using the smallest nozzle, which is pretty large, 51.1 m/s (114.4 mph) | ran circles around the first three brands tested, transcribed as 146.9406 G of wind pressure | 36, very impressive | transcribed as 62 seconds, though this figure looks inconsistent with the rest of the test (the video later says the Fanttik took about five times longer than the AC-27, which would put the AC-27 closer to a few seconds); flagged as a likely caption error, exact time unverified |
| 7Degge$49 | 312 grams | 83.9 dB, less noise than most of the other brands | claims 180,000 RPM, measured about 94,000 RPM, about the same as the Aukzon | 37.5 m/s (83.8 mph), edged out the Aukzon | 53.8 m/s (transcribed as 12.3 mph, likely a caption error) | just under 125 G, second place behind the AC-27 | 36, tied with the AC-27 | 4.27 seconds, described as performing like the Aukzon |
| 8Aukzon$40 | 308 grams | 86.2 dB, a lot less noisy than the Yomile | claims 180,000 RPM, measured almost 96,000 RPM, came up way short | 34.7 m/s (77.6 mph), performed a little better than average | 51.4 m/s (115 mph) | 113 G, a little better than average | 35, second place behind the AC-27 | 3.65 seconds, second place behind the AC-27 |
| 9V9 by Vogma | 312 grams | 89.2 dB, a little harder on the hearing (louder) than most | claims 350,000 RPM, measured about 87,000 RPM | moved into the lead at 111.2 mph at that point in testing, no additional nozzles available for this brand | not tested | 103.2 G | 33, better than average | 4.79 seconds, delivers less wind force than the Mershgaya but more air speed |
| 10Fulljion$36 | 376 grams | 88.3 dB, about 5 dB less than the AC-27 | claims 51,000 RPM, moved into second place behind the AC-27 at a transcribed 96,000 RPM (this measured figure is higher than the brand's own claim, likely a transcript error) | 41 m/s (91.7 mph), about the same as the Fresmol | 80 m/s (178.6 mph) | 40.6 G | 27, two way tie with the Cagiwiru for second place | 7.17 seconds, performed well |
| 11Cagiwiru$26 | 306 grams | 81.9 dB | claims 91,000 RPM, measured around 46,000 RPM on the highest speed setting | 45.6 m/s (102 mph) | 80.9 m/s (transcribed as 81 mph, likely a caption error) | 52.4 G | 27, pretty good for a $26 duster | 8.77 seconds, a little under 2 seconds slower than a brand new can of compressed air |
| 12Fresmol | 370 grams | 85.3 dB, the loudest at that point in testing | claims up to 100,000 RPM, measured 94,250 RPM, the closest to its claim of any brand tested to that point | 40.9 m/s (91.5 mph), second place behind the Cagiwiru | 82.5 m/s (184.5 mph), the fastest yet at that point in testing | 48.3 G, second place behind the Cagiwiru | 26, almost as good as the Cagiwiru | 6.75 seconds, moved into the lead at that point in testing |
| 13Yomile$40 | 401 grams, the heaviest tested | transcribed as just under 198 dB, an implausible figure likely reflecting a caption transcription error | claims 210,000 RPM, measured about 71,000 RPM, came up way short | just over 20 m/s (46.3 mph), really struggled | exceeded the capacity of the tester at 85 m/s, over 190 mph | 34.2 G, struggled the most of any brand tested in this category | 14, really struggled | 25.5 seconds, really struggled |
| 14Fanttik$60 | 249 grams, very light | just over 84 dB | claims 110,000 RPM, measured around 73,000 RPM, came up short | 27.7 m/s (62 mph), well below average | 75.5 m/s (168.5 mph), the nozzle really helped | 41.3 G, really struggled in this test | 16, really struggled | 12 seconds, described as about five times longer than the AC-27's time |
| 15Meudeen$29 | 261 grams | 80.6 dB, the least noise of any brand tested | claims 35,000 RPM, transcript renders the measured figure as 'around 81,00 RPM' which is ambiguous, likely a caption digit error | 9.2 m/s (20.6 mph), really struggled, the worst of any brand tested | 56 m/s, the nozzle really helped | 17.7 G, continued to really struggle | 7, the worst of any brand tested | could not move the wood chips without a nozzle; with the nozzle it took 1 minute 34 seconds, by far the slowest of any brand tested |
How it was tested
- claimed vs measured motor RPM using an RPM meter
- air speed measured with and without a nozzle, in meters per second and mph, compared against a $15 canned air duster control
- wind force (grams of force) on a scale, compared against the canned air control
- air volume in CFM
- real world wood chip removal test, timing how long it took to blow about one liter of wood chips out of an open box
