In all seriousness, Google says it works, but to me it just doesn't feel right. Sounds like it would damage it or something.

Even if you just set the power to low? I don't know if a vacuum's power would be that strong.

It wouldn't damage anything but I can't see how it would improve anything either


Can of compressed air is usually the way to go

@Shivy

A lot of websites say this almost exactly, but yeah. Maybe I just associate it with damaging the Xbox because of the situation in which the advice was given.

Realistic Answer.

It will kill your Xbox.

Vac cleaners are notorious for causing static buildup. This will zap your components.

Buy a can of compressed air from your local computer store, or use a compressor if you have one.

Can't this be solved but just. Not having one that builds up static.

Also guys, I wasn't planning to actually do this. Just wanted to know if the claim was true or not.

All vacuums cause static build up.

It's just the way they work.

@Liam and Jimmy

Makes sense, but does it like, absolutely kill the Xbox? No way to prevent that?

Why not just use compressed air? Why so dead set on a vacuum? I don't suppose it'd be impossible, but you'd probably need to buy a really specific kind of vacuum, because a normal one would be too strong and damage your console.

I know that it's better to use compressed air, but let's say you cannot. I was/am wondering if using a vacuum would damage the console, and according to a lot of people, it would.

nobody bothered to call in halo5307 the xbox modder lol
you will be fine if you don't remove the outer casing on a phat when using the vacumm and if you disconnect the power while vacumming. however i reccomend using compressed air after taking the xbox apart.

What if you don't have one?

@Ultra

They can leave other messes behind, however. /joke

um... buy one?

Buying a can of compressed air from a hardware store or something is a lot better than having to replace your entire console or send it in for repair.
