Super to have on hand
This is an awesome piece of equipment to always have in the camera bag or backpack. A tiny piece of dust can ruin a shoot and this blower is an effective, gentle way to remove it. Great purchase and really handy for the price.

I purchased the Lenspen HB-1 Hurricane Blower to remove dust that accumulates on the 85 mm objective lens of my spotting scope (a relatively large surface area, unless you have a Cannon telephoto Bazooka lens larger than a spotting scope). I compared it against my 40 year old U.N camera lens blower brush (the designs have remained the same over the decades; some technologies don't change much) and I would say that the Lenspen Blower was more effective than my large camera blower brush; especially in removing the larger and more stubborn pieces of dust. I think this is because the Lenspen Blower provides a more precise and forceful blast of air onto the lens, making it easier to dislodge and remove dust. I also accidently hit the objective lens of my spotting scope with the soft rubber tip of the Lenspen Blower, which caused no damage (to my relief) proving the value of the design.
However, I now use both my blower brush and the Lenspen Blower together, before and after using a wet cleaner when necessary to clean the optics, since I find the combination more effective.
There is an illusion where dust is concerned; so it is a case of being pragmatic. You can only really keep the dust levels down. If you clean your optics in day light using a blower, wet cleaner and microfibre lens cloth, it will appear to you that you have removed 100% of the dust but if you try shining a torch on the cleaned lens at an angle (particularly in subdued light) you will realise that finer micro-pieces of dust are still left on the lens, no matter how carefully you try to remove them. Be pragmatic with your goal and expectation. The purpose of removing dust is simply so that lenses or sensors in cameras etc, function at their optimum level. You will notice that when you shine a torch on a dark night outside the presence of dust within the torch beam. In daylight we tend not to be aware of this reality simply because under these conditions it is not normally visible to the naked eye. In a sense dust is an unwinnable war. The goal is just to optimise the ability of the optics or camera sensor, by reducing dust as much as humanly possible. This is why optical companies like Carl Zeiss, hand assemble their optical devises in factories using filters to remove atmospheric dust. This information was given to me by a Zeiss sales representative when attending an optics fair.
I hope these comments will help.

I am not a professional photographer but over the years (lots) I've used all sorts of cleaning gadgets for lenses. I totally agree with those who reckon this is a good blower. I had a small 'hair like' piece of dust on the mirror of my DSLR and nothing seemed to shift it, in fact using a brush tended to make the static worse, until this blower came along - then - whoosh, it went! So, what can I say? It's air, it goes 'puff-puff' and it blows away the cobwebs.

I bought this for cleaning out my PSVR headset without running the risk of scratching it or getting any dirt trapped. It’s reasonably well-built and I find the name pretty funny considering how it just blows air out, it’s not a hurricane! I cannot fault it though as it worked perfectly for me, it also doubles up as a terrifying sound to keep your cats on their toes haha!

DSLR sensor in need of a blast ? This blower ticks all the boxes: big volume of air shifted, soft blower tip (just in case of accidental contact) and a reputable manufacturer who I trust to not make something shoddy with a load of debris left inside right from the start . A poorly specified and made blower could produce dust problems rather than lessen them.
And, it's several pounds cheaper than the iconic Giottos rocket. I don't need fins, just a trustworthy blower :-)
I've used mine only on the camera sensor, and stored it neurotically in a press seal bag in case it accidentally ingests any dust to spit out at the wrong moment. It works fine.

Early stage since I bought this and it seems to be blowing dust specs off my camera and lenses quite well. Pleased so far. It has a nice ergonomic touch and feel but one must not allow themselves to get carried away mistaking this little blower for a stress ball.

I don’t understand why some blowers cost more whereas they all kind of do the dame thing. I might be wrong & the costly ones might have something different, but I never bought so I don’t know.
This product does what it says. I’ve bought for lens & sensor cleaning &. it did the job. The price is reasonable as well. If you’re thinking about buying this, I’d say go for it 👍🏽

After trying other air blowers to remove dust particles from my camera sensor which failed to remove any particulates, the Lenspen Hurricane blower has only taken 5 quick puffs to completely clean my sensor, with no need for a dry or wet clean, and thus any physical touching of the sensor which should be avoided at all costs. Highly reccomend.
