Does it Really Work? - Go Duster

Does it Really Work? - Go Duster

By Tommy Noel

Infomercial: "Dust bunnies under the chair.. Dust bunnies everywhere.."

"There's construction going on all around. All of these houses. We don't have grass yet. So there's a ton of dust," says Lorena Morris.

It claims it's the fun and easy way to dust. In fact, in the infomercial, the lady looks like she's dancing while cleaning.

"I probably won't be doing any dancing," says Lorena.

The Go Duster is unique from other cleaning tools because it spins! Before it was time to clean, we put in 4 AA batteries, not included.

"I'm hoping that it will work," says Lorena.

After a couple sprays, we cleaned away.

"Whoa! It feels kinda cool except for I see a bunch of stuff flying around," says Lorena.

The stuff being dust and fibers from the duster.

"This is all the green stuff," says Lorena.

"We got a bunch of little fibers on the table," says Tommy Noel.

So far, not so good.

Next task. Cobwebs in the light fixtures.

"It got 'em," says Lorena.

But it didn't grab 'em.

"It just dropped them on my clean dishes," says Lorena.

Turns out the whole uniqueness of this product is its major downfall.

"I think when you spin it, it's worse. Everything flies off. So you're gonna have to dust up there and clean down here," says Lorena.

The Go Duster comes with a smaller head for electronics, again, we had dust flying everywhere.

"It makes a bigger mess than before I started," says Lorena.

The product was actually making our tester a little sick.

"I feel my allergies coming on," says Lorena.

So much for the claim it holds those allergens.

While on the verge of sneezing, I asked Lorena to rate the go duster on our spud-o-meter.

"I give it a one. If it didn't lose the green feathers, I would have given it a two," says Lorena.
