Is the Visible Dust Remover really effective?

David · 7th June 2006

Heard about it... Is it really worth buying? The price is quite crazy! So ex for just that brush. Hope to have wsome comments from those who have used it b4. OR are there better alternatives?

It's too inconvenient... Dust accumulates frequently and blower doesn't do a good job.

Pecpads and Eclipse works for me. Think CP do sell them IIRC. Link for reference.

I'm not too sure what's the price at CP actually. I got mine from the website when I was in the US, but a pack of 100 Pecpads and the Eclipse should definitely cost less than the Visible Dust.
