Portronics launches new 160W wireless air duster that blasts air at 130,000 RPM

Portronics has released a new battery-powered air duster, the Tornado Plus. It is priced at Rs. 2,999 in India and designed to clear dust from electronics like keyboards, PC cases, and camera lenses, as well as car interiors and desk spaces.

Portronics Tornado Plus Specifications

The Tornado Plus weighs 289 grams and uses a standard pistol-grip design. It comes in a matte black plastic casing with orange accents on the triggers and vents. Portronics includes several interchangeable nozzle attachments in the box, which allow users to direct the airflow into tighter spaces like PC cooling vents, narrow car dashboard gaps, or between mechanical keyboard switches.

Inside, the duster is equipped with a 160-watt brushless motor. It features three distinct speed settings to manage the airflow depending on the task at hand. The lowest setting operates at 25,000 RPM, which is intended for clearing loose dust off delicate components without causing damage. The medium setting increases the speed to 60,000 RPM, while the maximum setting pushes the motor to 130,000 RPM for clearing out heavier, stuck-on dirt buildup.

The device is powered by two 3,000mAh batteries. Battery life depends entirely on the speed setting used. On the lowest gear, the duster can run for up to 30 minutes. This drops to 25 minutes on the medium setting, and just 10 minutes if you run it continuously at the maximum speed. Charging is handled via a standard USB-C port located on the handle. It takes approximately three hours to fully recharge the device using a standard wall adapter, laptop port, or power bank.

Portronics has also built in a few standard safety features to manage the motor’s heat and power draw. The duster has an overcurrent limit set to 15A and an automatic shutoff mechanism that triggers if the internal temperature gets too high. Additionally, it will automatically power down after three minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life.

Pricing and Availability

The Tornado Plus is available now. While the listed MRP is Rs. 3,999, the current retail price is Rs. 2,999. It can be purchased directly from the Portronics website, Amazon India, Flipkart, and various offline electronics retailers. The device comes with a standard 12-month warranty.

In related news, Portronics has recently expanded its product lineup with the Pure Sound Pro X2, a 150W 5.1-channel home theater system featuring a soundbar, alongside a new compact 10,000mAh power bank that comes with a built-in USB-C cable.
